Ekso, ReWalk, FreeWalk, and Keeogo are four exoskeletons that can be used for rehabilitation of spinal cord injuries, strokes, and other neurological conditions. They vary in their FDA approvals, assistance levels, pre-gait training options, battery life, and ability to accommodate patients with limited trunk control. The exoskeletons differ in their capabilities to help patients regain mobility through gait training triggered by weight shift or forward leaning.
