EXO-001 Ankle Exoskeleton, Now Available in Child-Sizes
Addressing a Critical Need: Next-Generation Pediatric Rehabilitation
For children with conditions such as cerebral palsy (CP) or other neuromuscular challenges, early and effective intervention is key. Orthoses and exoskeletons can play a significant role in supporting movement and aiding rehabilitation. However, designing the optimal wearable assistance strategy for children remains a grand challenge. Humotech’s child-sized EXO-001 extends the proven capabilities of Caplex for adult users to address this urgent unmet need, and we are so excited to support the innovators who will develop these next generation solutions with this platform.
Key Features & Benefits of the Child-Sized EXO-001
The child-sized EXO-001 is an exciting adaptation of our original EXO-001 model, built with younger users in mind. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Swappable Design – Similar to the original EXO-001, users of different sizes can be quickly accommodated with adjustable straps and swappable forefoot and shoe assemblies.
- Perfect Fit for Pediatric Patients – Our first child-sized build accommodates EU sizes 33 to 36 (US Kid’s size 2 to 4) and has the flexibility to quickly create larger or smaller sizes as needed, all while maintaining a torque output of 65 Nm with no limitations on performance!
- Slim and Compact – We’ve minimized bulk to ensure the device remains lightweight and comfortable for children, providing the necessary support without restricting movement.
- Adaptability – Whether it’s for gait analysis, neurocontrol studies, or rehabilitation, the child-sized EXO-001 offers flexible configurations, making it suitable for a wide range of research applications.
- Clean Aesthetics – Built with children in mind, our new design is visually appealing with a sleek and modern look.
- Fully Integrated with Caplex™ System – The child-sized EXO-001 works seamlessly with Humotech’s Caplex™ systems existing and new, ensuring the same high level of performance, precision, and reliability our users have come to expect.
How the Child-Sized EXO-001 Works
Just like its adult-sized counterpart, the child-sized EXO-001 leverages off-board actuation and control, just like any other Caplex™ system. Already have a Caplex™ system? This new end-effector is plug-and-play compatible. New to Caplex™? Caplex™ provides real-time control and data recording from modular programmable ankle exoskeletons that can be configured to support, assist, or resist human motion however you like. Our patented emulation technology is proven to accelerate research & development, clinical studies, and is appropriate for a broad range of applications in the lab and beyond.
