ROYAL REHAB-EKSO BIONICS PARTNERSHIP EXPANDS ASIA PACIFIC ROBOTIC EXOSKELETON ADOPTION

KUALA LUMPUR, April 26 (Bernama) -- Ekso Bionics, an industry leader in exoskeleton technology, with presence in Malaysia, has announced partnership with Royal Rehab in Australia, further scaling use of its robotic exoskeleton across the Asia Pacific region.

With Ekso Bionics’ recent expansion plan in Asia Pacific, EksoNRs are now in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Australia.

Ekso is the most clinically-used robotic exoskeleton globally and in Asia and has helped patients take more than 130 million steps globally, according to a statement.

Royal Rehab Chief Executive Officer, Matt Mackay said breakthroughs in technology were driving better and faster outcomes for people living with life-changing conditions and injury; however, these have been unavailable in Australia, until now.

“It is our vision to create a centre of excellence in rehabilitation technology which will empower people with disabilities with an unparalleled level of freedom, choice and independence,’’ said Mackay.

Royal Rehab, Australia’s leading not-for-profit provider of rehabilitation and disability support services, has entered into an agreement with Ekso Bionics to bring its advanced exoskeleton technology to Australia.

Royal Rehab is also in discussions with Ekso Bionics to act as the demonstration site of the EksoNR for other rehabilitation providers in the Australian market in the future.

The EksoNR is set to revolutionise rehabilitation practice in Malaysia and Asia with its ability to help improve patient recovery following stroke, acquired brain injury and spinal cord injury.
