Exoskeletons and MS: An Honest Guide to Trying One
Walking fatigue is a common frustration with multiple sclerosis. Here's what a consumer exoskeleton is, and how to find out if it's worth it for you.
The X Go adds a gentle push to each step. Some people with MS who walk independently are curious whether that could help them go a bit farther. Because MS varies so much, a supervised, low-risk trial is the best way to find out.
Before you try
- It's a consumer product, not a medical device or treatment.
- It's designed for people who already walk on their own.
- If heat affects you, plan your trial for cooler parts of the day.
Questions for your neurologist or PT
- Is a powered hip-assist device safe for my current gait and balance?
- Should I start only on flat ground?
- Can we try it together during a session?
