Standing after a spinal cord injury is recommended for health. Standing frames, standing wheelchairs, exoskeletons and the Tek RMD - how do they compare?

The Tek RMD deliveries are now resuming after some delays due to the COVID pandemic. The new electric lift version greatly expands the number of people who can use the product. New accessories allow for enhanced useability

One of the clear and obvious benefits of a Tek RMD is that it allows clients to stand with good posture and move around indoors. For most people that might be appreciated by their therapist but it’s not enough of a benefit to justify purchase. So how do clients find value from the Tek RMD?

The Tek RMD is a great option for those with paraplegia following a spinal cord injury. If the user has good arm and hand function the product provides all the benefits of standing plus the ability to move, sit and stand freely int he indoor environment.

As we pointed out in a recent article “How to Buy an Indego Exoskeleton”, we expect that potential users will want to try each exoskeleton on the market and explore what they can do. This is not something that should be done with a “quick demo”. In fact, it might be unsafe to take this approach because each exoskeleton will demand a certain level of “competence” from the user to get the best out of it.
