MEDICAL EXOSKELETONS
REHABILITATION AND TRAINING USE
The use of biomechanical exoskeletons in neurorehabilitation medical practices is rapidly gaining popularity. Exoskeletons provide support and assistance to people with physical disabilities , enabling them to move more easily and effectively. They can be used to help people with spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, stroke, and other physical disabilities regain mobility and increase their strength and endurance . Exoskeletons can also be used to assist people with limited mobility in performing physical therapy, rehabilitation, and training exercises .

WHY EXOSKELETONS FOR REHABILITATION?
ADVANTAGES OVER CONVENTIONAL PRACTICES
More controllable and adjustable assistance for people with disabilities.
Exercise of muscles and joints that are not used during ordinary rehabilitation.
Increased muscle strength and improved functional performance.
Sense of success and achievement in patients, increased self-esteem.
Support and assistance for a wider range of body movements.
Reduction of the risk of injury and fatigue during rehabilitation.
Relief of tension in the patient's body.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: NEUROSCIENCE
Thanks to the use of exoskeletons, rehabilitation is faster and more effective. The constant practice and repetitive movements cause two neurological phenomena in the patient:
NEURONAL PLASTICITY
It recruits healthy areas of the brain to take over the functions of those that have suffered motor injury. In short, healthy neurons assume the functions of those that have been damaged, allowing the patient to regain mobility.
MOTOR NEURON REPROGRAMMING
Patients suffering from these diseases or injuries receive a weak or distorted signal in their muscles, which is insufficient to activate and control movement. Through exoskeleton training, the neurons responsible for managing mobility, the motor neurons, are reprogrammed and learn to activate with weaker or distorted signals.
