Overview

Keeogo is a powered knee orthosis from Quebec's B-Temia, marketed as a 'dermoskeleton' because it braces and powers the knees while leaving the wearer in charge of balance and direction. It suits people who can already walk but tire quickly or have weak or painful knees, and the motors push through the movements the wearer begins, so it is a walking aid rather than a device for paralysis. B-Temia is one of the few makers that sells to individuals, through certified clinical partners in Canada that run a questionnaire, an evaluation and a 3-week home trial before sale or rental, with distributors in the UK, France, Mexico and Asia. It carries a CE mark for personal use, and B-Temia states FDA and CE approval for professional rehabilitation use (the FDA 510(k) is reported as September 2020 for stroke rehabilitation under supervision, unconfirmed), but Keeogo is not available for commercial sale in the US and is used there only in research. Users need a waist of 26–42 in and a height of at least 155 cm, the battery lasts 1 to 4 hours, and the device weight is not published. The knee-only design is the same technology Lockheed Martin licensed for its ONYX soldier exoskeleton.
