ExoBand for more torso stability by Moveo

The ExoBand helps people with limited mobility to walk more functionally and cover longer distances. This results in increased trunk stability, reduced risk of falls, improved balance and greater distances traveled. Other improvements noted include better upper limb sway, more balanced posture, and increased sure-footedness for the feet. Exoband is a walking support that consists of a belt and two leg loops. These three independent elements are connected by a mechanism that stores the energy generated in the first phase of the gait cycle and returns it in the second phase, supporting the hip flexion force and consequently achieving a functional improvement in gait.

• Moveo's ExoBand is a walking support specially designed for people with limited motor skills. It serves as an orthopedic aid for walking.
• The ExoBand consists of a waist belt that is worn around the hips (also known as the "main band") and two smaller bands (called "leg bands") that are positioned above the knee. These leg bands are connected to the main band via a mechanism.
• The mechanism of the ExoBand stores the energy generated in the first phase of the gait cycle and returns it in the second phase. This increases the thrust of the hip flexors, which facilitates walking.
• The operation of the ExoBand is as follows: During the first phase of gait, tension builds up in the connectors of the ExoBand. In the second phase, this tension is used to swing the legs forward and provide support to the hip flexors.
• The entire mechanism of the ExoBand is passive, which means that no batteries or motors are required. This makes the ExoBand easy and simple to attach, which makes it convenient to use. It provides effective walking support for people with limited motor skills.
• Moveo's ExoBand is an industrial exoskeleton designed to provide greater trunk stability and is specifically classified in the medical category.
• It can be used both indoors and outdoors and focuses on the lower body region, especially the legs and torso.
• The ExoBand supports various movements such as standing, walking and running, making it beneficial for people with limited mobility. It is suitable for both personal use and mobile rehabilitation.
• The exoskeleton weighs only 0.5 kg and requires no electricity, making it easy and uncomplicated to use.
• It is water repellent and can be used at a maximum temperature of 40 degrees. The ExoBand is offered at a retail price of 1300 EUR net and is available in Europe.
• There is no minimum purchase required and the exoskeleton requires no maintenance. It can be used by people with various diagnoses such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Kennedy's syndrome, stroke and stenosis, provided there is residual muscle function.
• The ExoBand enables stair climbing and can support either one leg or both legs. It has FDA approval and CE marking, but there is no instruction manual.
• The ExoBand offers a 2-year warranty, and although it is still in the application process, an assistive device number is provided. The use requires a maximum walking distance of 1 meter with the aid.
• The exoskeleton is produced in Europe and has its headquarters in Italy.
