Our partners More Rehab purchased the Indego Therapy kit for deployment in their therapy practice. They did this because they recognised that the Indego isn't just a personal user exoskeleton but a very powerful therapy tool. The Motion + and Therapy + software suites provide completely adjustable levels of robotic assistance which allows persons recovering from stroke or dealing with MS, post trauma or other situations to get support which enhances recovery. Earlier generations of exoskeleton were not restorative in that sense as they basically "did all the work". Of course there are benefits from standing and much of the early work with these systems was with complete spinal cord injury. However, as the application of these systems widens we are seeing the benefit of these more adaptable systems for restorative therapy.

5. INDEGO EXOSKELETON
BASIC FACTS
• Motors at hips and knees
• Flexible, height adjustable,
carbon fibre AFOs
• Modular, lightweight
construction
• 5 pieces (hip section, 2
upper legs and 2 lower
legs)
• small, medium and large
• 12 kg weight

6. NOT JUST SPINAL CORD INJURED
IDEAL INDEGO USERS
• Individuals with gait impairments due to neurological conditions (spinal cord injury, stroke, MS,
Parkinson’s)
• Good Range of Motion at hips, knees, and ankles
• Upper body strength
• Tolerates standing without getting lightheaded / dizzy
• Height: 155cm to 195cm
• Weight: less than 113 kg
• NO open skin areas where Indego touches skin
• Minimal to Moderate levels of spasticity (Modified Ashworth 3 or below)
• Healthy Bones

7. ENHANCED CONTROL AND OBSERVATION
THE INDEGO “APP”

8. REAL TIME INFORMATION
INDEGO DASHBOARD
• Number of steps taken
• Walking time
• Stride length
• Step symmetry
• Gait speed
• Data can be saved and
exported

14. INDEGO FOR THERAPY & PERSONAL USE
FEATURES OF MOTION +
• Full Assist Indego provides 100% assistance at all
joints. Users with or without any leg function can
stand and walk.
• Variable Assist–The level of Indego assistance can
be decreased in 10% increments at the right and left
hip and knee joints
• Pre-Gait Training–Indego stabilises Users’ hips and
knees during static or dynamic standing exercises like
weight shifts
• Advanced Gait–Advanced Indego users can walk
faster and with a more natural gait pattern
• Vibratory Feedback–Indego communicates
information on the User’s position

15. WALKING WITH MOTION +

16. FEATURES OF THERAPY +
• Gravity Reduction–Indego grossly decreases the
weight of the User’s whole leg, allowing users to
move more easily
• Active Swing–Indego actively assists with swing
phase at the hip and/or knee
• Stance Support–Indego actively assists at the knee
during stance, decreasing the risk of knee buckling
or hyperextension
• Auditory Feedback–Indego provides Users with an
auditory cue regarding step length and symmetry

18. THERAPY + WITH NON-TRAJECTORY BASED
SUPPORT
• Why non-trajectory based support?
• Allows for high patient engagement
• Allows for error augmented learning
• Allows for most individualised gait
therapy approach
• Allows for goal-oriented gait therapy
• Allows for real-time performance
