Meet the Ekso: New Hope for Stroke and Spinal Injury Patients

Alicia woke up after surgery and couldn't feel her legs. She came to Texas Rehab Hospital to get the best care possible and now she's headed home, walking on her own. Marty had a similar experience. "I had gone into the surgery center to have a spinal injection and when I woke up I couldn't feel my legs,” she said. She also came to Texas Rehab Hospital in Fort Worth for help, and progressed from walking only 12 feet using parallel bars to walking 450 feet with the assistance of a revolutionary new device. They were both introduced to the Ekso (short for exoskeleton), a robotic device that helps retrain people who are paralyzed to walk again. "The Ekso is different because it actually gave me the feeling of walking again, and nothing else could do that,” Alicia said. “I was standing, I had my feet on the floor, and my legs were moving.” "You have to have hope," Alicia said. "Without hope, I don't know how I would have gotten to this day. The Ekso gave me hope.” To learn more about Lifepoint Rehabilitation's cutting edge technology and why we are the partner of choice for health systems across the country visit our website: LifepointRehabilitation.net
