ReWalk Personal 6.0: Adaptable exoskeleton for everyday life at home and outdoors

The Personal Exoskslett Rewalk controls the ReWalker's movements with slight shifts in his center of gravity. The battery-powered system consists of a lightweight, body-worn exoskeleton with motors at the hip and knee joints. A repeated shift of body weight triggers a series of steps that mimics the normal movement of the legs with a walking speed of up to 0.71 m/s (2.6 km/h).

ReWalk is a robotic exoskeleton that enables hip and knee movements to allow people with lower extremity disabilities, such as paraplegia, to stand and walk upright. Thanks to ReWalk, people with lower extremity disabilities can stand and walk upright again.

The system allows you to stand up, move around and climb stairs. This system is perfect for indoor and outdoor use.

ReWalk Personal 6.0 enables controlled, independent walking and mimics the natural gait of a non-ambulatory person.

The system controls the movement by small changes of the center of gravity and initiates a natural gait. The system controls the movement by small changes of the center of gravity and a natural gait is initiated. In order to use an exoskeleton, the ability to move hands and shoulders as well as walk with canes must be present. Healthy bone density and a healthy cardiovascular system are also prerequisites.

The advantages of the system:

• Accuracy of fit
  The 6.0 system is adapted to the user's body dimensions and individually manufactured. The high accuracy of fit significantly improves system function, safety and joint alignment.
• Walking speed
  In clinical trials with the ReWalk system, users achieved speeds of up to 0.71 m/s (2.6 km/h). This makes ReWalk 6.0 the fastest exoskeleton on the market.
• Product Design
  ReWalk 6.0 no longer requires a backpack to carry the power supply and control electronics. This not only relieves the wearer's shoulders, but also offers increased freedom of movement in addition to more choice in daily wear. The sleek, new design of the straps and padding allows users to put on and take off the system more easily and quickly.

After six years of product introduction on the German healthcare market, the GKV-Spitzenverband announces the publication of the ReWalk Personal 6.0 exoskeleton in the list of medical aids in the product group of orthoses. ReWalk Personal 6.0 is the first and only exoskeleton to be listed in the list of aids (according to $ 139 SGB V) and thus officially recognized as an aid (according to $ 33 SGB V).

The Rewalk 6.0 is a body-worn robotic exoskeleton.

The ReWalk enables people with a spinal cord injury to stand and walk upright again. The ReWalk enables people with a spinal cord injury to walk again independently and in a controlled manner.

The new ReWalk 6.0 exoskeleton is designed for all-day use, both at home and outdoors. The new ReWalk 6.0 exoskeleton is perfect for all-day use - whether at home or on the road.

The ReWalk Personal 6.0 exoskeleton was assigned the aid number 23.29.01.2001 with the following indication:
"Bilateral paralysis of the hip, thigh, and lower leg muscles (paraplegia with paraplegia) and loss of ability to walk"

The ReWalk Personal 6.0 can be applied for at the statutory health insurance companies with the aid number for insured persons.

PREVIEW

The experienced Orthexo employee determines in a personal consultation whether the ReWalk is suitable for the user.

PRELIMINARY MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS

A medical clearance certificate is required for a test session in the ReWalk exoskeleton.
and a bone density measurement by the attending physician are required. Interested parties can obtain the form for this from their Orthexo consultant.
Employees after the preliminary meeting.

TEST SESSION

The free and non-binding test session takes place at a therapy center near your home and lasts around 2 hours. The functionality of the system is explained and the exoskeleton is individually adapted to the user. Afterwards, the first experiences are gained with standing up, balance exercises and the first steps.

APPLICATION TO THE HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY

After a successful test session, the interested parties decide whether they would like to submit an application for training in use and home care to the funding body together with ReWalk Robotics.

TRAINING IN USE

Training in use prepares users for the safe use of the ReWalk in everyday life. From transferring, putting on and taking off and the first steps to
overcoming kerbs and climbing stairs: In this intensive training course lasting several months, users acquire all the skills they need at a certified training center close to their home.

REWALK SUPPLY

After successful completion of the training in use and approval of cost coverage by the health insurance company, the ReWalk is delivered for everyday use.
Utilization.

Trial supply:

• Sports shoes 1 - 1.5 sizes larger than usual, preferably with Velcro fasteners.
• Comfortable, wide pants with long legs, e.g. jogging or training trousers.
• To avoid hygiene accidents, please empty your bladder before your appointment. Standing and walking stimulates bladder function.
• Do not come on an empty stomach, you should be strong.
• No immediately preceding and following physiotherapy or similar applications to avoid overloading.
• Bring the original doctor's release form with the doctor's stamp and signature as well as the original documentation of the bone density measurement.

The free and non-binding test session takes place at a therapy center near your home and lasts around two hours. The way the system works is explained and the exoskeleton is individually adapted to the user. They then gain their first experience of standing up, doing balance exercises and taking their first steps. After a successful test session, the interested parties decide whether they would like to submit an application for training in use and home care to the funding body together with ReWalk Robotics. The entire test session is video-documented for a possible application.

HOW DO I PREPARE MYSELF

The following preparatory exercises make it easier to stand and walk with the
ReWalk. We therefore recommend that you do this regularly:

• Forced standing in the standing trainer
• Stretching the hip flexor, e.g. in a prone position
• Exercises to improve shoulder joint mobility
• Exercises to increase arm strength and endurance
• Transfer exercises
