I originally bought the Hypershell Pro X as a surprise for my elderly mother. She's a true warrior and wants to rely on her own natural strength for now, which I respect! So, I decided to start using it for my runs and walks, and I realized very quickly what an incredible machine this is. The assistance it provides is enormous and feels incredibly satisfying during any activity. I know my mom will eventually want to use it, so I'm giving her the time to decide. As for the device itself, it’s very straightforward and easy to get used to. Just be sure to provide your height and weight when you order. Adjusting it is simple, and it's also very easy to put on, take off, and store. For what it does, I think the price is more than fair—it's actually a fantastic value. Read more

This technology is amazing and even more amazing is the availability to the public. Using this exoskeleton is like have Robocop legs. It’s not designed as a medical device, but I have issues walking (even with a cane) for any length of time and I wondered if this might improve that. It absolutely does. I’ve had problems taking my dog for long walks lately and along with PT, I thought this might up my game a bit. And it does. I can walk over half a mile without a cane or any problems now, and that’s more than twice as far as I’ve been limited to over the last year. The Hypershell pulls up your legs up for you, once the AI senses that’s what you’re trying to do, and it makes walking, jogging and going up hill 30-40% easier. I have been able to run around with my grandkids and my dog again and I don’t suffer afterward. I expect I’ll be able to increase my endurance, and thus my walking distance, now that I can get out and about again. My biggest problem with the Hypershell Pro X is getting it properly fitted so it doesn’t slide down or hurt my lower back. Once you ignore the waist size setting suggested and make it much smaller it stays up much better. A lighter battery in the future would be helpful since that’s most of the weight. The battery sits at your waist in the middle of your back making it hard to sit anywhere with a seat back. But it is easy enough to take off to sit. Again, I know this is intended for hikers, bikers, etc. and I do plan to ride my bike with it, once it’s dug out of the garage, now that I can use it again. But if you have minor issues walking due to age, injury or various diseases, this “could” be helpful while not supported by the manufacturer. You must be able to move in a walking motion so the AI can detect it and help you walk. But don’t expect miracles or a cure for the loss of the use of your legs. I don’t want to give that impression. I can walk without a cane for about 5 minutes and no one would know anything is wrong with me. So, this just extends that 5 minutes to 30 or 60 or more. I had hoped to go to Disney World again one day with my grandkids. This makes that a real possibility again and I won’t have to ride a scooter. Read more

These exoskeletons are a good idea, but this one is not ready for prime time. It is way heavier and bulkier than it looks and because all the weight of the motors and batteries are around your waist you feel it, and it keeps sliding down your waist. It might help you walk a little, but it makes you suffer while wearing it. The batteries come uncharged, so I go to charge them and I find it does NOT include the charger. You have to buy one separately so you are anxious to try the darn thing, and you can't until you buy a charger. HOW DUMB! You pay $1200, and you can't charge the darn thing. Another thing that is incredibly dumb is you have to charge the battery while it is ON the device. So you have to lay the whole device on a table next to the charger to charge it, and you have to do it twice if you want an extra battery unless you buy the extra three in one charger. This thing is HEAVY, weighing almost 5 pounds, and that weight negates the help it gives you while walking. I think I will wait till they perfect these a little more, or perhaps look at the new one that fit's on your knees. Read more

This is an amazing piece of technology. I decided to put it to the test to help rehab an auto accident that fractured my ribs, pelvis and ankle. Not right away, but after I was able to walk without a walker, I wore the Hypershell to help with my stride and to climb stairs. I found the assistance to be exactly the help I needed. This belt is ideal for when you're better able to walk, but need the assistance with more laborious tasks, "like grocery shopping!" Talk about a life saver! My gate was like normal with very little effort! Just stayed with the green lights. No need to go to the red light settings. It may not be recommended for rehab therapy, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work in that instance. Just need to use common sense. If you can't walk without a walker, WAIT until you can. Then use the Hypershell to assist for longer walks, like grocery shopping, and climbing stairs. My opinion is one of the best investments I've made. With injuries, we need all the help we can get. AND THIS WORKS!! Read more
