ReWalk Robotics (Lifeward)
ReWalk Robotics (now Lifeward) is an Israeli publicly traded medical robotics company developing wearable exoskeleton systems for spinal cord injury rehabilitation with dual-use military exoskeleton augmentation potential.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
ReWalk Robotics, now operating as Lifeward, develops robotic exoskeleton systems that enable individuals with spinal cord injuries, stroke, and other neurological conditions to walk again. The company's FDA-cleared exoskeletons use motorized joints, sensors, and AI-driven gait algorithms to restore mobility.
The company offers solutions across multiple medical conditions including spinal cord injury, brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and orthopedic rehabilitation. Lifeward's growing portfolio of innovative medical robotic products fundamentally improves quality of life by facilitating improved function and health.
Dual-use relevance is high: the same powered exoskeleton technology that helps paralyzed patients walk again can be adapted for military applications including soldier load-carrying augmentation, combat casualty evacuation assistance, and enhanced endurance for dismounted infantry operations in challenging terrain.
