Overview
The ExoMotus M4 is Fourier's answer to the balance problem that makes most gait exoskeletons need crutches. It couples a hip-and-knee exoskeleton to a wheeled balance-support frame with a built-in seat, so a patient can be strapped in from sitting, stand up and walk inside the frame with a therapist alongside. It is the successor to the crutch-based Fourier X2 (ExoMotus X2), fits patients of 150–190 cm up to 100 kg and is aimed at clinic gait retraining after stroke, spinal cord injury and similar conditions, with use as a research platform too. Fourier, the Shanghai company better known today for the GR-1 humanoid, split its medical line into a separate Fourier Rehab arm in July 2024 and its own site now shows only the humanoids, so the M4 is documented mainly through distributors such as HealthLink in Hong Kong. Release year about 2023 (unconfirmed), NMPA and CE status (unconfirmed), and weight, battery and speed are not published.
