The global rehabilitation robots market is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The major factors contributing to the market growth include a significant prevalence of spinal cord injuries and a rising geriatric population. As per the report by National Spinal cord injury statistical centre, a recent estimate showed that the annual incidence of spinal cord injury (SCI) is approximately 54 cases per one million people in the US, or about 17,810 new SCI cases each year.
Most bodily parts, including the legs, arms, trunk, and pelvic organs, are impacted by SCI. As a result, powered exoskeletons are becoming more popular as a way for people with severe SCI to stand and walk. ReWalk is an instance of a wearable exoskeleton robot with powered hip and knee movements that assists persons with SCI in walking, climbing, standing erect, turning, walking, and climbing stairs. It is the first exoskeleton to receive FDA approval in the US for personal and rehabilitative usage.
The increasing geriatric population and people suffering from neurological disorders have emerged the need for exoskeleton robots for rehabilitation services in the medical field. Apart from medical uses, exoskeleton robots are growing rapidly in the automotive and construction industries as ergonomic assistance for repetitive operations such as walking, bending, and squatting. While performing overhead jobs, the system aids the worker's arms. Furthermore, the major players operating in the market include BIONIK Laboratories Corp., Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc., CYBERDYNE, Inc., Kuka AG, and Össur hf.
