We cooperate with world class university labs and medical centers in Europe and the US. Atalante is not only an exoskeleton. Atalante allows patients to stand up, without crutches. Atalante allows patients to finally be able to watch their loved ones in the eyes. Atalante allowed them to walk over 2 million steps. But above all, Atalante made them smile again.

You will work in a supportive, fun and agile environment. You will have stunning colleagues, composing one of the best walk robotics teams in the world and chosen because they are selfless team players and not lone geniuses. Expect to be challenged: we do things that no one has done yet. Expect to have to work fast: we test and learn.

After 9 and a half months at Villa Beretta Rehabilitation Research Innovation Institute, Atalante has reached the milestone of the first million steps taken inside our gyms. Over this period, the exoskeleton has been used for 750 training sessions with more than 60 patients. But what is inside these first million steps? ✔ There are a million small pieces of space that have been painstakingly regained: moving forward, backward, sideways, without the patient leaning on any support. ✔ There are a million intentions: thoughts that, aided by the 12 motors of the Cobot, have resulted in motion in a person after a spinal cord injury, stroke, or traumatic brain injury. ✔ There are at least a billion neurons within the brain, spinal cord, and the sensory receptors inside the muscles, joints, and skin that have lit up at each of these steps, to decide each time the best way to activate themselves fully to relearn how to control the body. #NeuroRehabilitation #SpinalCordInjury #Stroke #TraumaticBrainInjury #RegainingMovement Wandercraft

Aujourd’hui plus de 65 millions de personnes ont besoin d’un fauteuil roulant pour se déplacer. C’est pourquoi Jean-Louis Constanza a cofondé Wandercraft, une entreprise française qui a créé le premier exosquelette de marche au monde 🦿 Grâce au soutien du dispositif Néo Business en Caisse d'Epargne Loire Centre, l’ambition est claire : redonner la liberté de marcher à des millions de gens dans les années à venir ! 🙌💪 #VousEtreUtile #Innovation #PUB

I am very glad to have attended the AOPA Policy Forum earlier this week in support of the Medicare Orthotics and Prosthetics Patient-Centered Care Act. The bill has three provisions aimed at improving the patient experience with orthotic and prosthetic care. Physical therapists should care for a lot of reasons, but the primary reason being the third provision, which would ensure Medicare beneficiaries access to custom-fitted and custom-fabricated orthoses with a change in their condition or clinical need. AOPA members spent the day on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. discussing this bill with policymakers. I am incredibly grateful for the guidance I received from AOPA leadership as well as experienced members in my group. I am excited to participate in ongoing advocacy to improve patient access to all kinds of devices including powered robotic exoskeleton devices with Wandercraft. https://lnkd.in/ey8jUxpR

I share research & insights on biomechanics, exoskeletons & wearable tech | Engineering Professor @VanderbiltU | Co-Founder & Chief Scientist @HeroWearExo
🚨👏🏽🚀 After 8-10 years since FDA approval, this is major news and a watershed moment for the medical #exoskeleton field: 🏥 "The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) has officially revised its April 2024 Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (“DMEPOS”) Fee Schedule to include a final lump-sum Medicare purchase fee schedule amount for personal exoskeletons with a ceiling-to-floor range from $109,238 to $81,929, and an established rate of $91,032 for each state. CMS states that it calculated this final payment amount by averaging pricing information for exoskeleton manufacturers." 🦿 This update impacts reimbursement for personal exoskeletons like devices from LifeWard (ReWalk) and Ekso Bionics (Indego). 👀 To put this in perspective, these two exoskeletons received FDA approval in 2014 and 2016, so it's taken 8-10 additional years to achieve CMS reimbursement. Kudos to everyone involved on their perseverance and progress! 🎉🥂 This is a huge milestone and hopefully will make #exoskeletons more accessible to people with spinal cord injury, who can benefit from this technology in their daily lives. 🔎 Learn more in the articles below.
