Our scientists have conducted pioneering research in different types of wearable robotics, including the Ekso GT, ReWalk, and Indego. The focus of their robotics research extends beyond restoring mobility to the impact on common complications that affect quality of life, including bone loss, muscle weakness, loss of bowel and bladder function, chronic pain, and sexual dysfunction.

Advancing Mobility Through Innovation
The Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (RERC) at Kessler Foundation advances innovative technologies that improve mobility, balance, walking, and independence for people with stroke, spinal cord injury, and multiple sclerosis. Through research in robotics, neuromodulation, artificial intelligence, and rehabilitation engineering, our scientists develop and test next-generation therapies that strengthen communication between the brain, spinal cord, and muscles.
Your Support Drives Change
