Robotic exoskeleton designed to help with skiing.
Elevate is designed to offload weight from quads and knees to enable seasoned skiers to continue to enjoy the sport they love free of discomfort — making possible longer ski days, longer ski vacations, and ultimately a longer skiing career.
Elevate offloads up to 30% of a user's body weight, significantly reducing the load on your quads and the painful knee joint compression forces typically experienced in alpine skiing.
By combining on-board sensors with smart software, Elevate anticipates your turns and automatically adjusts knee & quad support to aid your natural motion. Elevate doesn't ski for you, but it will help you ski stronger and longer.
