Lucille Watts • Oct 26, 2020

The EksoUE is a wearable exoskeleton designed to assist patients who suffer from upper extremity paralysis or weakness. 

The Ectron team recently visited Complete Neuro Physiotherapy in Stourbridge with the new EksoUE from Ekso Bionics 


Therapists and patients were given the opportunity to trial the EksoUE as part of their therapy programmes. Please watch the short film above to learn more.



About EkoUE


The EksoUE is a wearable upper limb exoskeleton designed by EksoBionics


The EksoUE is a wearable, upper-extremity exoskeleton designed to assist a patient’s affected shoulder and arm during rehabilitation. With EksoUE, patients can achieve rehab sessions with a higher dosage, more intense therapy, and a wider active range of motion.

The EksoUE can be used while sitting, standing, and moving around, which is particularly useful in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scenarios. It does not rely on any electronics or batteries needing recharging and can be operated without disruption all day long. It can also be used in conjunction with other rehabilitation technologies


EksoUE has interchangeable springs, allowing for different powered active assisted function movement, based on the patient’s strength, endurance, and weight of their extremity. The patient wears the device to participate in occupational or physical therapy sessions to provide active assist/increased active range of motion in many planes, reduce gravitational forces, allow for longer activity sessions, and lead to more high intensity sessions.

In January this year, Neurotherapy Worx in Wigan took delivery of the D-Wall by TecnoBody. Neurotherapy Worx is a specialist team of Adult and Paediatric Therapists based in a fully accessible clinic in Appley Bridge. Neurotherapy Worx offers both clinic and home-based rehabilitation. Over the last two months Neurotherapy Worx have been integrating the D-Wall into their everyday clinic. This short article shares their experiences so far. Has it been easy to integrate D-Wall within your everyday clinic practice? The D-Wall has been easy to integrate into clinic. It has been used during initial assessments, integrated into treatment plans and formal reviews. It enables us to undertake specific assessments and see change over time in patients’ abilities. How easy is the D-Wall to use with regards to patient set up? The D-Wall is very quick to set up once you have created a profile with a client’s date of birth, weight and height recorded. However, it is also possible to try different activities with an adult client without creating a profile. If you spend time in the Monitor facility so that the client understands how their foot position, their upper body and centre of gravity impacts the D-wall, this makes using the other settings, exercises, games more effective during the assessment and treatment process. How are you using D-Wall in clinic? We are using the D-Wall in many different ways! Therapy ·It is really useful for people with one sided weakness. They can visually see their alignment and work actively to try and correct this (previously we would verbally give feedback and facilitate). Good for strengthening and gaming afterwards. D-Wall is good at finding things we would not necessarily pick up on or see. It’s like an extra pair of eyes. We are working with patients and adapting things all the time. Constantly adapting and adjusting the movements. Can be used for a specific part of the session or for the whole treatment session. Trunk control. Balance – within and out of base of support. Look at specific motor control of a specific limb; or address gross motor control. Good to work on balance and trunk control whilst carrying out a more functional / meaningful activity. Engaging children and adults in repetitive movements or using the less dominant limb. Bilateral arm movements. Improve cardiovascular system in a safe supported environment. Muscle strengthening. Use neglected limb. With treadmill. With parallel bars. Using therapy ball for seated activities/games. Assessment and Reporting Standardised, repeatable fitness and health tests The data from D-Wall makes our reports a lot more accurate.
