At Synaptic Health, we believe mobility should be a possibility, not a privilege. That’s why we’re proud to be one of the first organizations in Canada to bring the XoMotion™ Exoskeleton into clinical practice—helping reshape the future of neuro-rehabilitation.
Every great achievement starts with a belief—the belief that mobility, independence, and progress are possible. From our earliest days, Synaptic Health has been committed to breaking down barriers and helping individuals redefine what they can achieve. Thanks to you, we’ve reached more people, embraced new innovations, and built a rehabilitation community that changes lives every single day.
Innovation in Motion
XoMotion is the only fully actuated, all-joint robotic system that mirrors natural human movement, giving individuals with spinal cord injuries, stroke-related impairments, and other neuromotor challenges the power to move with greater control, freedom, and independence.

Your support brings cutting-edge neuro rehabilitation within reach, empowering individuals to overcome barriers and regain their independence. Every contribution makes a difference— transform lives today.
Donate NowXoMotion is a state-of-the-art, wearable robotic exoskeleton designed to assist with standing, walking, and rehabilitation without the use of arm crutches or a walker. By using advanced sensor technology and responsive motors, XoMotion supports natural movement patterns, enabling users to regain mobility in ways once thought impossible.
Intelligent Assistive Technology XoMotion detects subtle shifts in body movement and responds in real time to maintain stability during multidirectional walking.
Customized Support
The system adapts to individual needs, providing varying levels of assistance for different abilities and rehabilitation goals.
Rehabilitation & Beyond
Walking is not just about mobility; it plays a critical role in neuroplasticity, muscle reactivation, and long-term physical health improvements.
Therapist Friendly Design
Reduces physical strain on therapists and reduces staff needed to mobilize patients during treatment.
Restores Confidence & Independence By enabling upright movement, XoMotion empowers users to engage more actively in daily life.
Improves Circulation & Muscle Function
Walking (or “Upright ambulation”) can enhance cardiovascular health, reduce muscle atrophy, and improve overall well-being.
Enhances Rehabilitation Outcomes
Supported ambulation strengthens neural pathways, supporting recovery and functional improvement over time.
More Patients Treated
Less resources per client increases Synaptic’s capacity by 25% so we can impact more lives.
The system is designed for individuals who meet the following criteria:
Height: 5'0" - 6'4" (152 - 193 cm)
Weight: Under 220 lbs (100 kg)
Cognitive ability to follow instructions and safely use the device
XoMotion-R allows individuals with severe gait impairments who can tolerate standing to perform ambulatory functions.
Yes, contraindications include:
Individuals who are currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or suspected pregnancy
History of lower extremity fragility fractures
Significant medical conditions (e.g., infections, circulatory issues, severe pressure sores)
Cognitive or communication impairments that limit safe use
Yes, the XoMotion™ is approved by Health Canada, has undergone rigorous testing, and is operated by trained practitioners.
If severe spasticity occurs, the device will pause in a safe position to allow for clinical assessment.
The system allows for a rapid transition from standing to sitting. In urgent situations (e.g., orthostatic hypotension or autonomic dysreflexia), practitioners follow safety protocols to lower the individual and safely transfer them.
XoMotion is controlled by a joystick managed by the supervising practitioner during sessions. This allows people with any degree of hand function to participate in walking using XoMotion.
We are expecting to implement in summer 2025. If you are interested, please discuss with your therapist or the front desk.

An initial assessment is required before using the device. Once assessed, you can book sessions. Please Contact us to book.
Yes, after completing our intake form, there is a 4-6 week wait time. Contact us to be added to the waitlist.
No, XoMotion requires a ceiling track and can only be used indoors.
XoMotion sessions fall under physiotherapy and may be eligible for insurance coverage. We provide receipts for reimbursement, but coverage depends on your provider.
No, XoMotion is approved for in-clinic use only and is not available for personal purchase.
XoMotion is an advanced rehabilitation device designed to improve treatment accuracy, enhance recovery, and personalize therapy. We’ve introduced it to provide the most effective and cutting-edge care for our clients.

We are introducing the XoMotion exoskeleton this summer. If you're interested in incorporating it into your rehabilitation plan, let your therapist know, and they can discuss whether it’s a good fit for your treatment.
Contact Us.
Your core treatment plan will remain the same, but we may incorporate XoMotion to optimize your sessions.

Through the generous support of a Synaptic donor, XoMotion device will be in-clinic June 2025, but our work isn’t done yet. With the help of our community, we’re raising the remaining $350,000 needed for practitioner training, staff development, software and tech requirements, and research to help other clinics implement the XoMotion in the future.
Your donation to our Transformational Technology campaign means more specialized care for more people, and more advancements in neuro-rehabilitation.
Every milestone we reach is a testament to the power of community, innovation, and determination. Because of you—our supporters, donors, and patients—we’re redefining what’s possible in neuro-rehabilitation.
More clinics across Canada have implemented XoMotion and are treating more people living with neurological challenges. As an early adopter of XoMotion, Synaptic Health empowers other organizations to effectively use the device by leading research, providing training, and educating practitioners and clients about treatment advances. In the future, we hope to make it easier for more clinics across Canada to implement the technology so more people living with neurological challenges can access it.
We’re building a stronger medical community today so more patients can access the treatment they need tomorrow.
