Exoskeletons in
Rehabilitation and Industry
Joanna
Weakley, MS, PT
Ekso Bionics - Clinical
Experience Manager, Southeast |
Abstract: "The ability to walk
after neurological injury or illness was once a dream, but now it's a reality
for many individuals. I'll discuss the use of exoskeletons for rehabilitation,
mobilization, and injury prevention. We'll also discuss the interaction between
engineers and physical therapists to continually design these devices for
optimal usage."
Biosketch: Joanna Weakley
holds a Bachelor's degree in Allied Health Science and a Master of Science in
Physical Therapy from the University of Central Arkansas. She was a clinical
physical therapist for 16 years focusing on neurological inpatient and
outpatient rehabilitation. She is currently a clinical manager and trainer at
Ekso Bionics where her primary role is
training other physical therapists how to incorporate a robotic exoskeleton
into their clinical practice. She is also involved in developing a program for
personal exoskeleton usage and an upper extremity exoskeleton for industrial
use.
