Physiotherapists, or PTs, are experts in the science of movement. They support patients and help them to improve their strength, balance, and mobility through various exercises, like stretches for stiff muscles, and other interventions, like assistive devices. PTs equip patients with tools and knowledge custom-fit to their needs which the patients can integrate into their day-to-day life. These treatments create long-term positive impacts with lasting beneficial and preventative effects. Physiotherapists are an indispensable part of the care team. They can collaborate with orthotists to tune the parameters of the Agilik to best assist the wearer. Physiotherapy is a regulated profession – meaning that PTs are held to the highest professional standards and are committed to the continual improvement of their practice.

Stand Taller. Walk Stronger.™ The Agilik™ is a smart, powered orthotic designed to improve gait for numerous conditions.
About us
Bionic Power’s purpose is to design and develop lower-body smart orthoses that improve quality of life by enhancing personal mobility and walking abilities. Stand Taller, Walk Stronger™ The Agilik™ smart orthosis helps patients retain or increase their independence and mobility. This is especially critical in children with knee-extension-deficiency disorders (typically from Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, etc.) whose strength and endurance often deteriorate as they get older. The Agilik™ functions by assisting or resisting knee extension and flexion throughout the gait cycle. Approximately 50% of adolescents with CP who can walk, will be unable to do so in early or middle adulthood. Our hope is to stop, or even reverse, this deterioration specifically by reducing crouch gait, increasing extension and strengthening their legs, enabling them to Stand Taller, Walk Stronger.™ The Agilik is also for adults with knee-extension or flexion issues, such as stiff knee gait post-stroke or other forms of hemiparesis. Reach out if you have any questions, would like to find out about clinical trials or would like to subscribe to our newsletter.
