Increase mobility and independence with wearable robotics
Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare is home to state-of-the-art
exoskeleton technology for patients recovering from spinal cord injury,
stroke, and other neurological conditions, such as traumatic brain injury.
Exoskeletons offer patients the opportunity to improve mobility and enhance
participation in activities of daily living.
They are just one of many specialized robotic-assistive devices Casa Colina
uses to maximize the recovery of individuals undergoing neurological and
orthopedic rehabilitation.
What are Exoskeleton Devices?
Exoskeletons are wearable robotic devices used by individuals with lower-extremity
impairments in order to stand and/or walk after a neurological event.
These mobility-assistive devices allow gait-impaired patients to stand,
walk, turn, climb, and eventually even ascend and descend stairs independently,
all with the help of robotically operated joint supports, sensors, and
movement controls.
Casa Colina patients can currently try one of three popular exoskeleton
devices on the market: EksoGT™, ReWalk™, and Indego®.
Contact one of our assistive technology professionals to learn more about
which device might be right for you.
Why Should I Try One?
There are many benefits of gait training with exoskeleton technology at
Casa Colina:
Increased mobility
Decreased spasticity and physical pain
Improved posture and balance
Increased bone density
Heightened respiration and circulation
Improved bowel and bladder function
