AMTI
AMTI manufactures world-leading force measurement systems and clinical gait tools. Their multiaxis force plates and instrumented treadmills are used extensively by exoskeleton developers to evaluate the impact of wearable systems on ground reaction forces and balance. They provide enabling technology for the precise kinetic validation of human augmentation systems in academic and clinical settings.
Bertec
Bertec manufactures high-precision force measurement systems and balance assessment tools. Their instrumented treadmills and force plates are key components of modern gait labs, used to evaluate the impact of exoskeletons on ground reaction forces and user stability. They provide ‘enabling technology’ for the wearable robotics industry by offering objective kinetic data required for biomechanical evaluation.
WalkJoy
WalkJoy develops a non-invasive wearable device designed to help individuals with peripheral neuropathy regain balance and stability. The system uses sensors to detect foot strike and provides a tactile biofeedback signal above the level of numbness, aiming to restore the neural connection for balance. It functions as a sensor-based mobility assistant for preventing falls in […]
Biodex
Biodex provides medical technology for sports medicine and rehabilitation. Their System 4 robotic dynamometer is a global standard for muscle strength testing and orthopedic rehabilitation. They also offer the Gait Trainer series, which includes instrumented treadmills and body-weight support systems used to retrain walking patterns in neurological and orthopedic patients.
Thera-Trainer
Thera-Trainer (Medica Medizintechnik) is a major developer of movement therapy systems. Their ‘Gait & Balance’ division produces the Lyra robotic gait trainer (end-effector system) and the Balo standing balance system. They provide clinical solutions for all phases of neurological rehabilitation, from early mobilization to overground training.
Delsys
Delsys manufactures electromyography (EMG) and physiological monitoring systems. Their Trigno wireless platform is a standard in the research community for measuring muscle activity and kinematics. They provide critical sensor technology used in the design, validation, and control of active exoskeletons and prosthetics, specializing in non-invasive bio-signal acquisition.
GaitBetter
GaitBetter develops an add-on system that transforms any standard treadmill into a motor-cognitive training platform. The system uses VR and motion sensors to provide real-time cognitive challenges and gait feedback, designed to improve executive function and reduce fall risk in neurological and geriatric patients. While not a wearable exoskeleton, it is a primary clinical robotic […]
Kinestica
Kinestica develops medical devices for the rehabilitation of patients with neuromotor disorders. Their product line includes BiMeo, a sensor-based system for active-assisted and bimanual upper-limb training, and Equio, an all-in-one balance rehabilitation platform. They combine motion-capture technology with gamified software to improve functional recovery and clinical assessment outcomes.
Myontec
Myontec develops ‘smart’ compression garments with embedded electromyography (EMG) sensors. Their Mbody system accurately measures muscle activation and performance in real-time, providing data on muscle balance, fatigue, and loading. While not a mechanical exoskeleton, their technology is a key enabling tool for ergonomic assessment and control in the wearable robotics sector.
Motek
Motek (Motek Medical) develops high-end virtual reality and robotic systems for research and clinical rehabilitation. Their products, such as the C-Mill (robotic treadmill for balance and gait) and CAREN (Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment), provide integrated platforms for complex movement assessment and therapy. They focus on real-world simulation to enhance neuro-rehabilitation.
