Tuesday, March 10, 2015 – At San Raffaele in Rome, a bionic exoskeleton Ekso for assisted walking.

The roman institute will be the first to locally adopt this device, designed and engineered in the USA, for the rehabilitation of patients with walking disabilities due to neurological diseases, such as spinal cord injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury or Guillain Barrè syndrome. As explained by Claudio Ceresi, national director of rehabilitation at Emac, in Genova, the market leader in electro-medical devices, “the robotic wearable exoskeleton, assembled in steel and carbon, wears like a tracksuit, and it is operated by four electromechanical engines with two 4 hrs endurance batteries. There are sixteen sensors connected to the patient to enable the robot to translate his or her intentions in leg movements”.

The specialized team at the operative unit in neuro rehabilitation at San Raffaele, directed by Prof. Marco Franceschini, is perfecting the training with international experts to be able to start treating patients as soon as April.

The system not only provides therapeutic benefits, but it also improves the psychological conditions of the patients, therefore improving their quality of life. As explained by Patrizio Sale, director of research in robotics, “exoskeletons are designed to assist people with limited mobility in being able to get up, stand and walk, contributing to improve their strength and endurance. Although they migh not substitute wheelchairs entirely, they enable patients to undergo training in a standing position”. A standing position to face their challenges and look straight to a better future.

From wheelchairs to free movement. The reality of exoskeletons at San Raffaele

The scientific innovation that enables standing and walking in patients affected by neurological diseases, such as spinal cord injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, and Guillain Barré syndrome has arrived to Rome.

The bionic man becomes reality at San Raffaele.

To be able to stand again, walk again, and stare the world in the eyes. It won't be just a dream for long, for those patients that following traumas or neurodegenerative diseases are not able to stand or walk freely. It is now possible at the Irccs San Raffaele Pisana in Rome, thanks to the exoskeleton by EKSO, a valuable gem in modern rehabilitation technology for the lower limb.
