Frequently Asked Questions
What is a powered exoskeleton designed to do?
A consumer powered exoskeleton is a wearable mobility device designed to assist leg movement during activities such as walking, hiking and travel. It should be treated as activity-support technology, not as a medical device or a substitute for professional healthcare advice.
How do I know whether an exoskeleton will fit and suit my activities?
Check the supported body measurements, weight, adjustment points, operating modes, terrain guidance, weather resistance and battery runtime. Consider what you plan to carry and how long you expect to use the device before choosing a model or accessory.
What should I do before using an exoskeleton for the first time?
Read the manufacturer's setup and safety guidance, adjust the fit carefully and begin in a clear, level area at a low assistance setting. Users with an injury, mobility condition or other health concern should seek appropriate professional advice before use.
