Ekso™ Exoskeleton

In 2014, Confluence Health added a state-of-the-art tool to its rehabilitation program for patients who need assistance walking or are unable to walk. By wearing a robotic exoskeletion known as the “Ekso,” patients can stimulate and retrain their underutilized muscles and nerves… and possibly improve their ability to walk.

Watch the video below to see the Ekso™ in action, and hear from orthopedic surgeon Ed Farrar MD, the driving force behind bringing this life-changing technology to Wenatchee, and Jacob Egbert DO.
