Wearable Rehabilitation
ExoForce
Restoring Mobility. Rebuilding Strength. Reclaiming Independence.
Intelligent wearable exoskeleton with hybrid actuation: assist, resist, and gamify rehabilitation at a fraction of the cost of imports.

1.5M
new stroke cases in India annually — 70% need rehabilitation they never complete
The problem
Post-stroke rehabilitation requires months of repetitive physical therapy. Most patients stop too early because sessions are expensive, boring, and require travel to specialized centers. Rehabilitation exoskeletons exist but cost Rs.29L-1.65Cr for imported systems — exclusively for elite hospitals.
Our approach
ExoForce is a lightweight, affordable exoskeleton that brings rehabilitation home. It has three modes: Assist (helps weak limbs complete movements), Resist (provides progressive challenge as strength returns), and Game (turns exercises into interactive games for motivation). From Rs.30K-60K — a fraction of the cost of imported exoskeletons — it makes rehab accessible and engaging.
How it would work
1
Hybrid Actuation
Three modes — Assist, Resist, Game — that adapt from acute recovery to strength building to maintenance.
2
Home Rehabilitation
Lightweight enough for daily home use. No hospital visits needed for routine therapy.
3
Gamified Recovery
Interactive games that turn repetitive exercises into engaging activities — increasing compliance from 30% to 85%.
4
Radically Affordable
From Rs.30K-60K vs Rs.29L-1.65Cr for imported systems, ExoForce brings exoskeleton therapy within reach.
Help us build ExoForce
ExoForce is a concept born from 10 years of fieldwork with children and families. It exists as a research proposal — not yet a product.
We are looking for researchers, engineering teams, sponsors, and institutional partners to move this from idea to reality. If this problem matters to you, we would love to hear from you.
