This document discusses an exoskeleton called ExoAtlet that is being developed for rehabilitation purposes. It notes rising rates of physical disabilities and an aging population that will increase demand for rehabilitation therapies. ExoAtlet automatically repeats natural walking patterns and includes electromyostimulation and sensors. It is intended for use in rehabilitation centers and homes to help patients retrain walking and other movements. The document provides details on clinical trials, future product plans, competitive landscape, business model, and development team.
