Shanghai Real Star Rehabilitation Equipment Co., Ltd.

The vision of Shanghai Real Star Rehabilitation Equipment Co. is to help patients who have lost their mobility due to neurological diseases, such as stroke, to restore walking ability, improve body function, and significantly improve their quality of life.

Using its proprietary Exotendon® technology, Kickstart provides stability and assistance to lift, swing and guide the leg properly for each step – all without the bulk or costs of robotic devices. Exotendon functions like an artificial tendon to store energy during the stance phase and release it during the swing phase of the gait cycle. 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.

Compared to other robotic lower extremity exoskeleton systems, the Kickstart walking system is lighter in weight, easier to wear and take off, and is inexpensive. The Clinical version of Kickstart walking system is suited for rehabilitation centers, PT offices and elderly care facilities, and can be easily adjusted for the training needs of multiple patients. The Personal version of the Kickstart walking system is customized to individual patient’s anatomy and can be worn both at home and outside.

Kickstart provides the opportunity for users to overcome walking limitations, accelerate recovery, regain confidence, and rediscover the benefits of an active and independent lifestyle.
