Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EKSO) (the “Company”), an industry leader in exoskeleton technology for medical and industrial use, today announced a partnership with U.S. Physiatry (USP) to educate physicians on the clinical benefits of an EksoNR exoskeleton. USP is the largest inpatient physician practice in the U.S. focused exclusively on physical medicine and rehabilitation. The partnership will help expand awareness of Ekso Bionics’ technology among physicians and other rehabilitation clinicians as well as educate on how to successfully implement robotics into a rehabilitation program.
“The EksoNR exoskeleton is a powerful robotic-assisted rehabilitation tool that will allow our expert physiatrists to enhance the lives of thousands of individuals by improving their rehabilitation and recovery,” said Craig DiTommaso, M.D., Director of Early Career Physician Development at U.S. Physiatry.
USP is a physician-led group of physiatrists who are currently practicing rehabilitation medicine. Their goals are to ensure the success of the physiatrist by providing the resources of a national company. As part of the partnership, USP’s physiatrist team of experts will lead a four-part lecture series that will be open to other physicians, clinicians, and other healthcare leaders across the U.S. Topics will include EksoNR education, research and development, best practices on Ekso program implementation, and general marketing of an EksoNR.
“We are excited to partner with USP and their commitment to patient care in demonstrating the value of our cutting-edge exoskeleton device,” said Rachael Adams, Global Director of Marketing and Strategic Growth of Ekso Bionics. “EksoNR is the most studied exoskeleton on the market today that has been proven to enhance patient outcomes, making it a strategic differentiator for stroke centers.1 Effectively educating clinicians and physicians on the clinical and economic value of starting an EksoNR program has always been a priority for our team. By partnering with USP’s deep network of physiatrists, we believe our shared patient-focus strategies will help build awareness for our platform of technologies across the post-acute care market.”
The first webinar of the series is scheduled for Thursday, April 8th at 12:00pm CT, with future dates to soon be announced for the remaining lectures, and will be available on www.eksobionics.com.

About U.S. Physiatry
US Physiatry (USP) was founded in 2011 as it became evident that another round of Healthcare reform was imminent. Founded by rehabilitation leaders from all aspects of the rehab continuum, USP decided to focus on rehabilitation in all of the current settings so that both the rehab patient and the physiatrist will be well represented when changes are implemented. USP’s goals are to ensure the success of the physiatrist by providing the resources of a national company to help negotiate managed care contracts, ACO affiliations, implement an IT strategy that will allow us to focus on quality outcomes, and ensure that the revenue cycle is the best possible for a physiatrist. USP believes that empowering the rehab physician to follow a patient throughout the rehab continuum will allow for the best possible outcomes for patients and is also the best way for our physician partners to maximize their income opportunities.
