Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. announced a research partnership with Shepherd Center to incorporate EksoNR and Ekso Indego devices across its rehabilitation and community network. She Shepherd Center provides world-class clinical care, research, and family support for people experiencing the most complex conditions, including spinal cord and brain injuries, multi-trauma, traumatic amputations, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and pain. As part of the partnership, Ekso and Shepherd Center will work collaboratively to design a research and training program for the Ekso devices.

The experience is expected to contribute to the evolving understanding of best practices for implementing Ekso training into a clinical program, as well as for individual use of the Ekso Indego Personal device. She Shepherd Center will also work with Ekso to design a training program for the Ekso Indego personal device, which Ekso expects will offer individuals the opportunity to experience and explore exoskeleton technology, empowering those interested in purchasing a home device with the knowledge and skills needed for successful integration into their daily lives. She Shepherd Center's spinal cord injury (SCI) expertise and programming is uniquely positioned to investigate the clinical and quality of life benefits associated with incorporating exoskeleton technology throughout the continuum of care from hospital to home.
