Exoskeletons aid in rehabilitation by leveraging neural plasticity, which allows the central nervous system (CNS) to reorganize structurally and functionally. Studies show that exoskeletons can activate neural plasticity in patients with balance and gait disorders by enhancing afferent flow from affected limbs through regular and targeted training.
Two usage options include free positioning on a treadmill or affixing to a treadmill, similar to the Lokomat system.
Combining the exoskeleton with an 8-channel electrostimulation and electromyography system enhances efferent stimulation and neural plasticity. The system, comprising four blocks with two channels each, tracks muscle involvement during walking and detects muscle movement attempts during step initiation. MA for this system is expected in Q2-Q3 of 2021.
The E-Helper can be used in conjunction with the Reaterra treadmill for enhanced rehabilitation capabilities.
EXOSKELETON NEW OPPORTUNITIES OF PHYSICAL REHABILITATION. Who will benefit from “exorehabillitation”? - Patients recovering from stoke with mobility issues; - Patients after a traumatic brain injury with mobility issues; - Patients with traumatic injury of the spine; - Patients with gait pathologies due to musculoskeletal system disorders; - Patients with cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis with mobility issues. There has been positive experience in use of exoskeleton in rehabilitation of patients recovering from stroke. Based on modern data, regenerative and compensatory processes in the CNS (due to stroke or trauma etc.) are maintained due to a biological phenomenon of neural plasticity. Neural plasticity is the ability of CNS to structurally and functionally reorganize neuronal elements and systems. Multiple studies have demonstrated the possibility of activation of neural plasticity processes in patients with balance and gait disorders due to boosting of the afferent flow from paretic extremities. Regular, lengthy, and targeted training can ensure adequate and continuous afferent supply. Exorehabilitation provides that possibility. What improves the effectiveness of rehabilitation? 1. Separate adjustment of motor power for each leg. This function can be used for rehabilitation of patients with hemiparesis. 2. Initiation of the first step. During physical rehabilitation it is important to detect even the slightest muscle strain and to continue the ensuing movement. 3. Dynamic evaluation of spasticity. Exoskeleton monitors the change in power of the electrical motors that provide movement to the extremities. Technical specifications of the E-Helper exoskeleton: - 8 hours of autonomous operation; - Patient weight up to 110 kg, height – 150-190 cm; - Ability to climb stairs, turn around; - Reducing motors with added durability; - Does not require costly annual servicing; EASY TO PUT ON The extremities of the exoskeleton have joints that allow them to fold out sidewa

Patient wearing an exoskeleton is freely positioned on the treadmill with off-loading of the body weight. 2. Exoskeleton can be affixed on the treadmill, which makes this system similar in its capabilities to Lokomat system (with options for separate regulation of the motor power). *Can be used as a robotic system for physical therapy and lower limb rehabilitation according to the Order No. 788n.
