ExOskeleTon, an OT tool used to increase the standing level functional independence of people with spinal cord injuries
Exoskeletons have been used in therapy since 1972. There are very few incidences OT's have been involved in the use of exoskeletons to help their clients. Exoskeletons are tools that can help improve functional independence in the standing position for people with spinal cord injuries. Exoskeletons could be used for more than just walking. Come and join us for this eye opening presentation/demonstration to find potential pathways to help your clients increase their functional independence in standing.
Learning Outcomes:
