FDA-cleared rehab exoskeleton. Variable Assist adapts to each patient. 500+ rehab centers.
The Ekso EksoNR earns a RoboScore of 80/100, placing it in the strong tier for healthcare and clinical robots. At $150,000 it sits in the enterprise segment, making it worth serious consideration for teams where precision and regulatory compliance is the priority. Ekso Bionics delivers a highly capable platform at this price point. FDA clearance status and clinical validation data should be verified before procurement.
Large-scale operations with integration teams, fleet management capabilities, and multi-year deployment plans. If precision and regulatory compliance is your primary decision criterion, the Ekso EksoNR deserves a place on your shortlist.
Small operations without dedicated integration resources or where payback period exceeds 3 years. If your requirements center on a different set of capabilities, compare alternatives in the medical category before committing.
