Safety first. Some medical conditions make exosuit use unsafe.
If any of these apply to you, consult your doctor before using.
Conditions that may prevent use
| Condition | Why it's a concern |
| Severe osteoporosis | Bones may be too weak for strapping or weight bearing |
| Pregnancy | Waist belt pressure may affect abdomen |
| Heart pacemaker or implantable device | Vibrations or electromagnetic interference (rare but possible) |
| Uncontrolled high blood pressure | Physical effort may spike BP |
| Recent surgery (hip, knee, spine, abdomen) | Straps or movement may interfere with healing |
| Severe balance disorders | Exosuit does NOT prevent falls |
| Peripheral neuropathy (loss of feeling in legs) | You may not feel pain or pressure from straps |
| Severe arthritis (hip or knee) | Assisted movement may cause joint pain |
| History of blood clots (DVT) | Leg straps may affect circulation |
| Skin conditions (open wounds, severe eczema) | Straps and pads may irritate or infect |
When you need a doctor's approval
You may still be able to use the exosuit, but talk to your doctor first if you have:
- Mild to moderate osteoporosis
- Controlled high blood pressure
- Arthritis (mild to moderate)
- Diabetes with leg circulation issues
- Any past joint replacement
Bring this guide to your doctor. They need to understand what the exosuit does.
What your doctor should evaluate
Ask your doctor:
| Question | Why it matters |
| Can my bones handle strapping and walking? | Risk of fracture |
| Is my heart healthy for moderate physical activity? | Risk of cardiac event |
| Do I have good enough balance to walk with assistance? | Risk of falling |
| Will the waist belt affect my abdomen (pregnancy / surgery)? | Risk of internal pressure |
