Our Case of Support

“When I am standing and walking in my exoskeleton, I do not feel disabled, nor do I feel able-bodied; I feel ReEnabled.”

— Adam Gorlitsky, Founder I GOT LEGS

I GOT LEGS! Do You?

In the United States, there are over 300,000 people living with spinal cord injury and another 5 million+ living with some form of paralysis — The daily use of exoskeletons has proven to be able to combat many of the negative side effects of paralysis listed below.

The main issue though is that insurance does not yet cover these exoskeleton devices — this is where I GOT LEGS comes in.

Our programmatic philosophy starts with merging exoskeleton technology to create new and exciting adaptive sports for the paralysis community — then using these newly created Exoskeleton Sports as a catalyst to:

  • Increase access to exoskeletons for the paralysis community.

  • Improve upon the exoskeleton technology

  • Advance breakthrough paralysis research

We seek to empower our community members to adopt an athlete mindset in order to motivate themselves to use their exoskeletons on a more frequent basis, so their minds and bodies are better prepared for future medical breakthroughs.

More LEGS, More Steps, More Life!
