For that product , this kind of exercises this exoskeleton are pretty good! I like it very much and have many friends tried it , they all like it , And like the price too!
Hypershell Pro X for Person with Parkinson's Diseae (PwP)
The Hypershell has been helpful in allowing me to walk farther and faster than was possible using a cane (my previous "personal mobility device"). And at least one time it saved me from falling down a steep paved hiking path that was very slippery due to be dusted with sand. As I felt myself falling forward, the Hypershell kept throwing my feet forward giving me time to recover. With my primary motor symptoms from PD being shuffling gait and freezing, the Hyperhell definitely helps to keep me going. While the Hypershell is not exactly designed to get me started after a feezing episode, it feels like whenever I am able to throw a leg out in front of me, the Hypershell responds with a couple of exaggerated steps before settling in with my set mode. Once I get going again the Hypershell helps to lengthen my stride and keeps my freezing under control.
We were in Paris recently and there were crowds everywhere (a nightmare scenario for many PwP) The Hypershell allowed me to get into museums where I could transfer to a museum owned wheelchair (always at no charge). Having my own wheelchair would have been very inconvenient (getting it up and down steps to get into museums/the opera/the ballet. Without the Hypershell, I would not have been able to walk an average of over 4 miles a day over cobblestone streets that were swarming with people. In spite of the challenges, we had an amazing trip that totally exceeded our expectations for what was going to be possible for me.
Functionally, I feel that the HypershelI could be improved in a couple of areas. I found the lights on the motor that indicate what mode I was in were difficult to read given their placement and I have yet to master getting into the different modes (1 thru 4 green lights and 1 thru 4 red lights and the blues lights, but I am confident that I will master them over time. For roughly the cost of a low end powered wheel chair, the Hypershell provides a unique mobility solution that enables successfully navigating over rough terrain that would be almost impossible by wheelchair or scooter.
I absolutely luv this product, I use it for work as I walk all night on the rail. And it helps me so much to take the load of me knees. Only thing that it could do with is braces that go over your shoulders to stop it for dropping down. Other than that highly recommended this product.
I have spinal damage with neuro deficits in my legs. I absolutely love the exoskeleton! I can now walk longer, faster and with much less pain. I take it with me everywhere and can’t imagine not having it now!
J’adore mon Hypershell carbone X mais je trouve la pile pesante pour mes 49 kilos
J’aimerais que la compagnie fabrique des bretelles adaptées
I’ve been a photographer professionally for 50 years. Shooting all over the world and in some very crazy places.
Currently, I’m 72 years old and now I’ve developed arthritis in my legs and hip yet I am still photographing luxury premium properties in Northern Ontario. In an area called Muskoka. These properties have huge, Main houses and Boathouses. With major stairways and walkways down to the lake from the main cottage, which is really hard on my legs. Especially going up and down a few times per photography session. Some of the properties are so big it takes me 4 to 6 hours to photograph one. I saw an ad for the hyper shell and purchased one about three weeks ago. It has been a lifesaver and really helps my long days. I wear it as much as I can even on the weekends when I’m not working and I’m just hiking with my partner. What a tremendous product. It sure has saved my very tired legs and keeps my heart rate at a much better pace while I’m working. Thank you and please keep me informed of any updates or new technologies that would go with my Hypershell. As I use it every day.
I can usually get by with the two batteries that came with the product, however, it would be great to have another battery or 2 and the charger for when I’m in remote property areas. That will be my next purchase. Thanks again. The Hypershell is absolutely amazing.
The only thing I could say is I’m 6 foot two with a large build and it would be nice if the Eco mode was a bit stronger. Not necessary as strong as a hyper mode, but I find the Eco mode, even on maximum, is just not quite enough. I wish there was something in between Eco and Hyper mode.
Thank you,
Paul
I have always been very active all my life but age has cought up.
I know this is not advertised as a medical product so these are just my experience with it. I got to the stage I did not walk much because of vertigo and other medical issues. I like walking through the Australian bush.
I thought I would give this a go, to start with it was a bit odd and I found it was puting a bit of a strain on my lower back, I countered that issues by using a back brake belt ( kidney belt ) it made the unit very comfortable. With perseverance I use it every morning for a 4 to 6 kilometres walk I use a staff for extra support but it is a great bit of kit for me. No regrets buying at all 5 star. John Chadler
For my entire life I have been active in the outdoors, hiking and hunting in the western states. With old age and health issues, my ability to hike through the mountains has diminished significantly. With the Hypershell exoskeleton, I can now walk better with less effort than I have been able to do for the past 20 years.
Thank you for allowing me to continue doing what I love to do.

Tis gear works and provides the addedboost needed on long hikes
I would just like to see them make it so it could fit bigger people. The waist belt is fairly small. Also it did get very hot on the controller side when I was using it on hyper mode for 30 min. It burn the skin. But it works really well and is a great assist with my mobility issues.
I have CMT and foot drop and have not been able to run for 2 years. Hoping this would help but it did not work when running. Walking it worked but not running. I will work with you to make a different model for running…
This product is interesting. It actually do help you with move around.
However, I found out 2 major issues:
1. the smart movement detaction is not ideal. sometime you feels it's the exoskeleton drag you to move your leg other than it's suppring you.
2. Tried this one with 50%-75% output eco mode go some easy walk. a battery can live for only 7km which is way lower than expected.
I was having problems walking and it helped me correct my gait. But after walking 20 minutes or so it seems as if the hypershell starts to slide down my waist like my pants are falling down. When I put it on the waist belt is tight. Today I'm going to try and tighten the waist belt a tad more. I've also tighten the sliding arms. I'm 6 foot and 155 lbs.
My brothers purchased this for me for my birthday due to a spinal cord injury I had 11/24. They wanted to give me any opportunity they could to help me on my journey to learn to walk & strengthen my right leg. I have a c4-c-5 incomplete injury, with PT and including the Exo into my therapy plan has greatly increased my ability to pick up that right leg. My physiatrist was very encouraged and made the comment, it’s people like you that look for things to help them not knowing it will work but at least trying, now we need to get insurance to cover these types of devices. My PT tech says she definitely can tell a difference thank you Hyper shell!
Recently, I began a Rehab PT program for an upcoming surgery. The hypershell should be a complementary adjunct in my recovery! I look forward to giving the hypershell a very good test workout upon recovery of the aforementioned.
Thank you for the follow up and good day.
For this old, fat boy, the hypershell let me run a mile an hour faster with same heart rate. Able to maintain pace longer without tiring! Did not climb any mountains except on treadmill, but made those incline runs seem flat. I old like an option for suspenders, but they ride well.
The waste support belt needs to go all the way around. Other than that its a solid piece of tech.
I am 194 cm tall, and find it hard to get a proper fit. The leg braces could have a bit more adjustment to suit taller people.
Need to turn 100% Hyper mode on to get any assistance, which is minimal.
Very responsable company
Good to work with

Tried very few times. Does seem to assist walking and reduce the need for muscle exertion. Need to test more, and running. Maybe then *5 star. Pleased so far. Very reasonable price and quality product.
Fine tech ! I hope there will be settings and AI modes for disables people like me, or an open mode where we could adjust assistance for specific needs. For example I would like the Hypershell to push my pelvis while standing because for now the motors are off if not walking
Whilst it’s not a designated medical device, my Hypershell has made my life so much easier! Going for a walk and cycling are now possible again after MS had robbed me of any thought of doing them again.
Walking up stairs is a breeze. My foot drop is much less noticeable too.
It’d be great if the device could be configured to help rowing too.
The fitness setting is great too to help strengthen my hip flexion.
As a physiotherapist I would highly recommend patients try Hypershell!
My daughter suffered a Brain injury and double stroke 6 years ago. This device offered her support in lifting her legs and giving her more endurance. We have tried a lot of equipment and honestly we love this!! And the plus is that it is affordable. I’m thinking of using it myself to help me hike!! Congratulations on creating a product that does what it says it does and is affordable!!
