“We are excited to showcase the EksoGT at this international forum and to present the unique rehabilitation benefits the technology
provides,” commented Thomas Looby, Ekso Bionics’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “China has the world’s largest stroke and
spinal cord injury patient populations, but faces a shortage of licensed rehabilitation specialists. This, in turn, has
created a real need for new technologies, like the EksoGT, to maximize care and improve patient outcomes.”
CRME 2017 attendees are also invited to see a demonstration of the EksoGT and learn more about this innovative
technology at the Ekso Bionics booth, #A2.

About EksoGT™
EksoGT™ is the first exoskeleton cleared by the FDA for use with stroke and spinal cord injuries from L5 to C7. The EksoGT with
SmartAssist™ software is the only exoskeleton available for rehabilitation institutions that can provide adaptive amounts of power
to either side of the patient’s body, challenging the patient as they progress through their continuum of care. The suit’s patented
technology provides the ability to mobilize patients earlier, more frequently and with a greater number of high intensity steps. To
