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.
