Product catalog summary

Introduction
The ReStore Soft Exo-Suit is an innovative device designed for post-stroke gait training. It enhances natural movements with adaptive assistance for plantar-flexion and dorsiflexion, aligning with the patient's gait to support functional training. The suit is adaptable, offering personalized assistance and compatibility with additional aids, making it suitable for a wide range of gait rehabilitation needs. It is data-driven, providing real-time feedback and adjustable assistance levels to optimize therapy sessions and monitor patient progress.

Functional Specifications
The ReStore Exo-Suit integrates with various gait training activities using sensors on each foot to detect gait events and synchronize assistance timing. The posterior cable aids plantar-flexion for forward propulsion, while the anterior cable supports dorsiflexion for ground clearance. The suit includes Slack and Brace modes for enhanced training capabilities, and the ReStore App provides real-time feedback and session control.

Clinical Research and Findings

Awad et al. (2020a): A multi-site clinical trial confirmed the safety, reliability, and feasibility of the ReStore Exo-Suit in post-stroke rehabilitation, with no device-related falls or serious adverse events, and increased walking speeds among participants.
Awad et al. (2020b): This review emphasized the importance of addressing post-stroke propulsion deficits and suggested that technologies like the ReStore Exo-Suit could transform rehabilitation paradigms.
Awad et al. (2020c): The study showed significant increases in walking speed and distance in post-stroke individuals using the exosuit, highlighting its potential for effective rehabilitation outcomes.
Porciuncula et al. (2019): A case study demonstrated that exosuit-augmented gait training led to notable improvements in walking speed, distance, and propulsion compared to conventional training.
Sloot et al. (2018): The study found that the exosuit enhanced muscle activation and gait mechanics, improving propulsion and ground clearance during walking.
Awad et al. (2017a): The exosuit improved walking mechanics, reducing propulsion asymmetry and metabolic burden, suggesting potential for locomotor restoration.
Awad et al. (2017b): The exosuit reduced common gait compensations like hip hiking and circumduction, improving overall gait mechanics.

Conclusion
The ReStore Soft Exo-Suit is a significant advancement in post-stroke rehabilitation, providing a safe, reliable, and effective means to enhance gait training. Its adaptive assistance and real-time feedback capabilities make it a valuable tool for clinicians aiming to improve patient outcomes.

Overview
The document discusses the potential benefits of exosuits in gait retraining, particularly during the early phases of stroke recovery. It highlights the role of exosuits in preventing compensatory walking strategies due to paretic ankle dysfunction.

Awad, Pawel Kudzia, Dheepak Arumukhom Revi, Terry D. Ellis, Conor J. Walsh SUMMARY This article evaluates the effects on mechanics and energetics of walking after stroke when using a soft robotic exosuit. Six individuals aged 40-60y in the chronic phase of stroke (3-5y post-stroke) were included in this study. Assessments on day 1 included 10-meter and 6-minute walk tests both without the exosuit worn and with the exosuit worn but powered off. Day...

authors suggest that exosuit-induced improvements in post-stroke walking function may increase the opportunity for walking practice with higher intensity and variability, and the ability to facilitate walking practice with more normal gait mechanics also has the potential to promote locomotor restoration instead of compensation.
