FAQ

Exoped is an active exoskeleton robot (intelligent orthotics). This robot enables patients with lower-limb disabilities to walk. Using four electric motors, Exoped helps users with lower limb disabilities to stand, sit, and walk with the natural pattern of walking at home or in other environments.

Exoped is for individuals with lower limb disabilities and paralysis. The patient shall not have any lower limb deformities, osteoporosis (unhealthy bone density), atrophy, and severe spasticity. Also, The Patient’s height shall be between 155 and 190 cm, and The user’s weight cannot exceed 90 kg. During the session, the user must be able to hold crutches with normal functionality of their hands and shoulders. As a result, it is not feasible to accept a wide range of rehabilitators with a history of strokes. In the initial sessions of using Exoped, the correct weight lifting technique and balance control will be taught to avoid undue fatigue of the hands as a result of incorrect weight lifting. In general, it is recommended to consult with a physiotherapist, or occupational therapist  before using Exoped.

Weight and height should be lower than 90 kg and between 155 cm to 190 cm, respectively.

More than anything, walking will improve self-confidence and hope for patients with lower extremity disabilities. Additionally, walking helps them to become more independent. Other benefits include improving blood circulation and breathing, balancing blood pressure, preventing digestive tract and liver problems, avoiding pressure sores, recurrent pain, and muscle weakness. Exoped also may be used to rehabilitate patients with gait disorders.

The main advantage of Exopad is the use of the correct walking pattern and the natural bending of the joints, especially the knees, but in the use of orthotics, the lack of this capability might cause irreparable damage to the joints in the long term. Paraplegic patients cannot walk using walkers, but orthotics enable them to walk. However, walking using orthotics exerts too much pressure on their shoulders and arms. As a result, some patients may not be able to use orthotics. With Exoped, pressure on hands is much lower, so walking will be possible for a wide range of users. Moreover, orthotics should be worn in the stance position, which is a difficult task. Exoped can be worn in a sitting position. After that, the exoskeleton will help the user to stand up.

.Exoped can be used daily at home or outside, and generally in flat environments
