RWLK ReWalk Robotics Ltd

 ReWalk Robotics Ltd. (DBA Lifeward™), (Nasdaq: LFWD) (“Lifeward” or the “Company”), a global market leader delivering life-changing solutions to revolutionize what is possible in rehabilitation, recovery, and the pursuit of life’s passions in the face of physical limitation or disability, today highlighted two recent research publications that demonstrate the effectiveness of the unique propulsion training capabilities of the ReStore Exo-Suit for post-stroke rehabilitation.

“We are encouraged by the tremendous clinical value we see in the ReStore Exo-Suit technology and its ability to retrain and augment propulsion for individuals recovering from stroke,” stated Larry Jasinski, CEO at Lifeward. “We believe these recent studies can broaden the use of robotic therapy in the rehabilitation of patients post-stroke and speak to the potential value of the next generation of products for home use in our development pipeline which are based upon the same ReStore technology. We expect that the experience and infrastructure that we have developed for establishing Medicare coverage of the ReWalk Exoskeleton will also facilitate patients’ access to our future technologies. In parallel, we continue to work actively with CMS to determine a final payment amount for the ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton using the current pricing information we submitted in November 2023.”

The most recent publication, from the University of Pécs in Hungary, titled “Investigation of the Effectiveness of the Robotic ReStore Soft Exoskeleton in the Development of Early Mobilization, Walking, and Coordination of Stroke Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial” examined key walking metrics for two groups of post-stroke patients, randomized to either a conventional therapy program or a program which included training with the ReStore Exo-Suit. The ReStore intervention group demonstrated significant improvements compared to the control group, including a 56% increase in 10-meter walking speed, and a 68% improvement in 6-minute walking distance, and the improved performance was demonstrated to persist at the post-intervention follow up assessment.

A second study from Boston University was presented in an abstract titled “Durable Improvements in Post-Stroke Walking Speed and Distance Following High-Intensity Training with Soft Robotic Exosuits.” This study demonstrated that a 4-week program of intensive gait training with the ReStore Exo-Suit for individuals post-stroke (N=25) resulted in clinically meaningful increases in walking speed (average: 0.17 m/s) and walking distance (34.4 m) which endured a month after the individual had completed the training program. These improvements in speed and distance were accompanied by significant improvements in propulsion mechanics of the paretic limb.
