For the first time, there's a simple, effective device that gives you the endurance and stability to walk on your own.

Who is Kickstart for?

If you’re recovering from a stroke, spinal cord injury, or have a neurological condition such as multiple sclerosis and need help to maintain your mobility, Kickstart is made specifically to help you walk again and rediscover a more independent lifestyle.

Use Kickstart to: 

  • Enable walking and improved independence, at home and in the community

  • Enhance endurance, balance and control for walking and standing

  • Guide correct gait patterns and reduce compensations

  • Improve stability and alignment

EXOTENDON® Technology

The Exotendon® Technology functions like an artificial tendon to store and release energy to provide walk stability and assist limb forword throughout the gait cycle without the cost or complexity of electronics. By propelling and guiding the limb to swing correctly, the device reinforces and re-trains proper walking motions for each step, helping users to regain and maintain a natural, efficient stride.
