As I reflect on my latest session, held just yesterday, Tuesday, July 9th, I’m filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and excitement. My walking sessions with the Atalante X exoskeleton are truly the highlight of my week, something I eagerly anticipate every single day. This innovative technology is nothing short of magical, constantly pushing the boundaries of what I thought was possible.
One of the most remarkable aspects of my recent session was the consistent and precise robotic assistance I received. I was able to maintain a steady 35% assistance on my right leg and 40% on my left, which allowed for an incredibly smooth and effective workout. This consistency is key to making real progress and building strength.
Beyond just walking, the Atalante X also allows me to incorporate a variety of movements that are crucial for my rehabilitation. I particularly love performing squats, especially with the top straps disengaged. This modification challenges me to engage my core and truly focus on my trunk strength and control – an area I continually work to improve. The feeling of activating those muscles and gaining more stability is incredibly empowering.
My sessions are far from one-dimensional. Yesterday, I incorporated a diverse range of movements, including forward walking steps, backward steps, and even sideways steps. This variety not only keeps the sessions engaging but also ensures that I’m working different muscle groups and improving my balance and coordination in multiple directions. Each step, whether forward, backward, or sideways, feels like a victory.
While the Atalante X exoskeleton is undoubtedly a marvel of engineering, these sessions would not be nearly as energizing or successful without the incredible team behind it. I want to extend my gratitude to the amazing people who make this possible, especially my fantastic physical therapists. Their unwavering encouragement, constant motivation, and expert guidance are truly invaluable. They transform what could be a challenging session into an enjoyable and incredibly rewarding experience. Their dedication makes all the difference, and I’m so grateful for their support.
I’m already looking forward to my next session and the continued progress I know I’ll make with the Atalante X and my incredible support team. Every step I take is a testament to the power of technology, the strength of the human spirit, and the dedication of amazing people.
