A revolutionary exoskeleton is now available at Synaptic — redefining what's possible for individuals with spinal cord and neurological injuries.
XoMotion™ is a wearable robotic exoskeleton that helps people with spinal cord injuries and neurological conditions stand, walk, and move during neurorehabilitation — without needing crutches or a walker.
It uses advanced sensors and responsive motors to support natural movement and restore mobility in ways once thought impossible.
Real-Time Response
Detects subtle body movements and adjusts instantly to keep clients stable and supported.
Customized to You
Adapts to each person’s abilities and goals, offering the right level of support for progress at any stage.
Built for Rehab
Promotes brain-body connection, muscle reactivation, and overall physical health through upright movement.
Therapist-Friendly Design
Reduces physical strain on therapists and lowers the staff required during sessions.
Boosts Confidence & Independence
Upright movement empowers clients to engage more actively in life and recovery.
Improves Health Outcomes
Walking supports circulation, reduces muscle loss, and strengthens neural pathways for lasting gains.
Supports Long-Term Recovery
Repeated, supported movement reinforces neuroplasticity and functional progress over time.
Expands Access to Care
With less strain on staff, we can treat more clients — increasing capacity by 25%.
Developed by Human in Motion Robotics Inc., XoMotion is designed for individuals with spinal cord injuries, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological conditions that affect mobility.
It’s the first device of its kind to mimic the physiological motion of the lower extremity, giving the user the ability to perform all complex mobility tasks.
XoMotion’s advanced sensor systems and multi-modal controllers allow the user to quickly gain hands-free functionality, providing an unprecedented level of freedom and independence.
Thanks to donor support, Synaptic is the first clinic in Canada to bring XoMotion™ into clinical treatment.
Through hands-on research, training, and collaboration, we’re empowering more clinics to adopt XoMotion and reach more people living with neurological challenges.
"We’re building a stronger medical community today so more patients can access the treatment they need tomorrow."

To fully implement XoMotion into clinical treatment, Synaptic is raising $500,000. With your support, our Transformational Technology Campaign ensures we can provide in-depth training, research clinical use, maintain the device, and ...
Impact More Lives.
The system is designed for individuals who meet the following criteria:
Height: 5'0" - 6'4" (152 - 193 cm) *can vary due to limb lengths
Weight: Under 220 lbs (100 kg)
Cognitive ability to follow instructions and safely use the device
Range of motion required within lower extremities to safely move
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, severe spasticity, uncontrolled blood pressure and at times autonomic dysreflexia)
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.
This will be assessed prior to using the device and will be considered in eligibility. If severe spasticity occurs, the trained practitioners will bring the device to a stable position and will review if further motion can be completed.
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.
The device is controlled using a joystick by the supervising practitioner.
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 an 8-10 week wait time, depending on availability. 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.
