Clinical rehabilitation exoskeletons are capital equipment for hospitals and rehabilitation centres. A therapist fits the device, sets how much the motors help, and supervises each session. The goal is usually to get patients walking earlier and repeating many more steps than they could with manual help alone.
Lower-body gait trainers
Most clinical devices are full lower-body exoskeletons for gait training after stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury or multiple sclerosis. Examples include EksoNR, Wandercraft Atalante X (which balances itself, so patients don’t need crutches), Cyberdyne HAL, which responds to the wearer’s muscle signals, Angel Robotics ANGEL LEGS, ABLE, Fourier ExoMotus and BTL EXO. Single-joint devices such as Gogoa BELK focus on the knee.
Devices for children
Pediatric exoskeletons are a growing niche, for children with conditions such as cerebral palsy or spinal muscular atrophy. They include Marsi Bionics ATLAS 2030 and EXPLORER MB, Trexo Theo, Agilik and the Biomotum SPARK ankle device.
Arm and hand rehabilitation
Upper-limb systems such as Armeo Power support the arm during repetitive, game-based exercises, while soft gloves like Carbonhand add grip strength for therapy and daily tasks.
How they are bought
Prices are quote-based and usually include training, service and software. Public tenders give a sense of scale: the product notes on this site cite hospital purchases of single lower-body units ranging from €95,000 to CNY 1,175,000 (about US$175,000). Many clinics lease or share devices, and some research centres run them through clinical trials.
The evidence
Research on exoskeleton-assisted rehabilitation is growing, and results vary by condition, device, timing and how much therapy patients receive. These devices add intensity and repetition to therapy; they don’t replace a therapist.
