Lifeward Ltd. announced a joint effort with Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, to accelerate the evaluation and accessibility of the ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton.
The collaboration will establish dedicated clinic days, launching in the second quarter, at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab’s Chicago campus to provide individuals living with spinal cord injury to be evaluated and trialed in Lifeward’s exoskeleton. Shirley Ryan AbilityLab will play a central role in clinical evaluation, training, and support.
“This work with Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, a prestigious nationally recognized rehabilitation research hospital, is a first for Lifeward,” said Mark Grant, CEO, Lifeward. “The integration of advanced wearable robotics into an established clinical ecosystem creates a streamlined pathway from evaluation to real-world use of the ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton.”
