Overview

Powered lightweight lower-limb MEDICAL exoskeleton for gait assistance in people with spinal-cord injury (FDA-cleared); originally from SuitX (acquired by Ottobock 2021). Medical-mobility, NOT an industrial back-support device. vvc/scope: SuitX's industrial/occupational exosuits (backX, legX, shoulderX) and Ottobock's Paexo line are PASSIVE and are excluded from this powered cohort; Phoenix is the in-scope POWERED device. Current commercial availability under Ottobock is uncertain (honest note).
