“For many patients, using the ABLE Exoskeleton is the first time they stand up and walk again after their injury. Seeing themselves upright, tracking their progress and even walking outdoors has a profound impact on their motivation, confidence and engagement throughout rehabilitation”
Adrián Vegue
Neurological Physiotherapist at FEMM

Physiotherapy Coordinator & Principal Investigator at FEMM
“Furthermore, for all those patients who precisely cannot stand on their own […] the fact of seeing yourself standing and doing dynamic exercise such as walking, which is only very functional, also has a truly positive impact.”

Researcher at Sint Maartenskliniek Hospital
Prof. dr. Noël L.W. Keiksers

“The donning and doffing was very fast, so in five minutes we had the participants inside the exoskeleton, and we were ready to stand up.
And from a user perspective, what I really liked is that the user is really in control of the exoskeleton.”
Mark Wright
Physiotherapist at Institut Guttmann
“The more chronic ones [patients] we saw a reduction in spasticity. One of our guys went from quite heavily assisted walking with a frame to then using crutches with just distant supervision.”
Prof. Dr.-Ing Rüdriger Rupp
Head Exp. Neurorehabilitation, Heidelberg University Hospital
“Therapists and patients learned very quickly to use the exoskeleton. This was one of the major outcomes for me, that this device really fits into the needs of clinicians in their daily practice.”
Prof. José Estay
Rehabilitation Physician
Mariona Tolrà

“The feeling is not that a robot is in control of the patient, it makes me much more involved in gait re-education.”
Dr. Antonio de Lacy
Shared his opinion about the ABLE Exoeskeleton during the WMC 2023
“ABLE Human Motion is the best… a company from Barcelona with the lightest and cheapest exoskeleton on the market.”

Kevin Lao
ABLE Exoeskeleton’s pilot
“When I take off the exoskeleton, I have much less spasticity in my legs and they are much more relaxed. Because the human body is made to be standing and walking.“
Carlos Tatay
Ex moto2 pilot with spinal cord injury
“For the first time, I was able to go out and walk down the street, which was something unimaginable. It feels very real, nothing fictional, nothing robotic. […] I recommend people to try the exoskeleton, even if they can’t walk, it is highly recommended for health and quality of life.”
Susana Rodríguez
ABLE Exoeskeleton’s pilot
“You need to remind your body that its position is not to be sitting.”
Iván Camps
ABLE Exoeskeleton’s pilot
“The latest model of ABLE Exoskeleton is the best that I’ve tried, it’s unbelievably good.”
