WHAT IS KEEOGO?

More Than Walking

Keeogo is built with B-TEMIA’s Dermoskeleton technology. It is designed to help those with mobility challenges by enabling independence through support during daily activities.

Keeogo allows you to move freely, and will help you:

• Walk farther, for longer
• Go up and down stairs
• Sit down and stand up
• Squat and kneel
• Stand with more ease for longer

Keeogo Waits for Your Lead

Keeogo monitors your lower body position, interprets your intended movement, and then the motors by your knee help you along your way! Keeogo does not initiate any movement, you are in control. Keeogo waits for you to take the lead, then it activates.

Keeogo Benefits

Stay engaged with family and friends and keep up with the activities and pace of life.

• Be independent, safe, stable & free
• Get relief from knee pain
• Stay active, working
• Offset the need for a wheelchair

Keeogo is intended for medical applications such as rehabilitative training and personal assistance.

To use the Keeogo independently in the community, you should have some ability to walk and maintain your own balance. Keeogo can be used in day to day life or in a rehabilitation program at a Keeogo certified clinic.

Benefits of Keeogo

Freedom and independence

Following a clinical evaluation, Keeogo can be used to support activities in your daily life.

Simple to use

Keeogo is a smart powered orthosis that is simple to use, it allows you to move freely.

Motorized support

Motors by your knee support you in finishing the movements you start.

Keeogo for Personal Use at Home

Knee and hip arthritis

Knee osteoarthritis, wearing out of the joint and degeneration of the cartilage, leads to stiffness, inflammation, and pain. Use of walking aids such as cane, walker, and even wheelchair helps to take weight off the joint.

Advantages of Keeogo :

• Offset weight from the knee
• Stabilize the knee
• Relieve pain
• Motors at the knee assist to mobilize and support healthier stable steps

Multiple sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis, the degeneration of components of nerves in the central nervous system, leads to a reduction in the capacity of the brain to transmit signals to move the body. This degeneration translates into weakness, fatigue and issues with walking.

Advantages of Keeogo :

• Support at the knee to stand strong
• Stay active for longer
• Improve your walking pattern

Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's, a degeneration of an area of the brain needed for movement, leads to reduced mobility, smaller steps, uncontrolled movement, and rigidity.

Advantages of Keeogo :

• Assistance enhances movements and serves as a mobility and exercise tool
• Use Keeogo to create even, bigger, smoother movement patterns

Stroke

A block or bleed in a blood vessel in the brain damages cells and leads to changes in mobility, independence, and mood. The brain remains plastic and positive changes and ensue through rehabilitation.

Advantages of Keeogo :

• To walk sooner after injury
• Support and aids in accessing more exercises and increasing repetitions of movements
• Have a healthier walking pattern for many hours of the day

Spinal cord injury (SCI)

Injury to the spinal cord causes issues in movement, sensation, coordination. In an incomplete injury it is common to have one side more affected than the other.
Advantages of Keeogo :

• Spend more time upright
• Reduce the need for other mobility aids
• Support at the knee to walk more
• Custom settings on each leg to improve walking pattern

Myositis

A degenerative condition of the muscle where mobility, balance, and endurance all decrease over time. Many with myositis use personal assistive devices for balance, mobility and accessibility. One can likely fight the time course of deterioration with exercise.
Advantages of Keeogo :

• Strength at the knee to balance and climb stairs
• Reduced muscular strain during more intense activity
• Support for exercise or activities of daily living

Orthopedic case

Damage to the knee, whether it be from wear and tear, injury to bone, cartilage or ligaments can be accompanied by joint instability, inflammation, structural damange, and pain that all limit mobility.

Advantages of Keeogo :

• Brace and offset pressure from the knee
• Mobilize the knee
• Bear weight on the effected limb
• Walk sooner after a surgery
• Support for chronic injury
