By ExoRank Research Desk · Last reviewed A regulatory classification tied to an intended medical purpose, jurisdiction, and exact product. A consumer exoskeleton is not a medical device merely because it assists walking, and an overseas approval does not automatically apply in the United States.
Why it matters
Medical claims demand regulator-level evidence. ExoRank keeps consumer products out of rehabilitation rankings unless the exact device and intended use have the required regulatory support.
