    I’m not sure anyone not in the team for the device can answer this fully.

    However, it isn’t an ideal use case. The last I heard about it, it’s controlled by a hand unit. So, despite the “exoskeleton” part being applicable in that case (meaning it would function just fine and do its job), the control would need to be changed to fit the needs of users with poor motor function in the hands. Not that everyone with stoke affect presents exactly the same, but the hands are affected to some degree in everyone I’ve ever seen with it.

    Same with things like cerebral palsy, TBI, etc that impact balance and lower limb mobility that tend to also impact fine motor control.

    But it should be a matter of just adapting the controls as best as I can tell from available information online.

    Again, I have no connection to rewalk, so you gotta take this with a few dozen grains of salt.
