NextStep Robotics
NextStep Robotics is dedicated to revolutionizing neurorehabilitation through innovative robotic solutions. Their mission is to improve the lives of individuals affected by neurological conditions, such as stroke, by providing advanced, accessible, and effective rehabilitation devices. With a team of experienced researchers, clinicians, and engineers, they develop technology that promotes high-dose, high-intensity therapy to maximize neuroplasticity and functional recovery. Their flagship device, AMBLE, is a wearable robotic system designed to address foot drop and enhance gait training, even in chronic stroke patients, challenging traditional recovery timelines. They also focus on education, research, and partnerships to advance the field of neurorehabilitation.

Products
Wearable ankle exoskeleton for gait therapy
Clinic-oriented, lightweight wearable device that provides graded, assist-as-needed ankle support during walking to address foot drop and enable higher-intensity gait practice.
Clinician portal for gait analytics and reporting
Software portal that aggregates device telemetry into clinician-facing metrics (e.g., heel-first steps, HAI, toe clearance) to support treatment decisions and program tracking.
