SOFMER 2026
23 Sep–25 September 2026 Palais du Pharo, Marseille, France
SOFMER 2026 is the 41st congress of the French Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine at the Palais du Pharo in Marseille. Its technology and movement programme spans adult and paediatric robotics, artificial intelligence, and quantified gait and movement analysis.
Exoskeleton Index perspective
Why this event matters for exoskeletons
SOFMER is a useful clinical checkpoint for wearable robotics because its programme brings physical medicine and rehabilitation into direct contact with robotics and movement technology. It is best used to track clinical adoption, evidence and implementation questions rather than to presume product demonstrations that have not been announced.
Confirmed participation
Confirmed exoskeleton presence
The official programme includes a session on technological innovation, robotics and adult physical medicine and rehabilitation. Specific exoskeleton models have not been confirmed in the current first-party programme material.
