ReWalk Safety Data Show 0.3% Fracture Rate, Zero Incidents in Germany
Lifeward’s ReWalk exoskeleton users experienced a 3% lifetime fracture rate from 2013–2025, which has fallen to 0.3% over the past six years. German registry data show zero fractures among 97 users since 2018 across varied ages, injury durations and bone densities, reinforcing device safety.
1. Comprehensive Fracture Prevalence Data
Analysis of over a decade of global ReWalk use (2013–2025) found that only 3% of devices were associated with lower extremity fractures. Fracture incidence has steadily declined to 0.3% over the past six years, highlighting a marked improvement in safety outcomes.
2. German Registry Shows Zero Fractures
In a focused Germany registry of 97 ReWalk users between 2018 and 2025, no lower extremity fractures were reported despite broad patient profiles including ages 22–69, injury durations of 3–53 years and varied bone densities.
3. Safety Improvements and Training Protocols
The shift in fracture rates is attributed to successive device design enhancements, refined patient selection and enhanced provider training programs. Early years (2014–2019) accounted for 87% of all fracture events, underscoring the impact of these safety measures.
4. Implications for Market Adoption
Robust safety data support broader clinical adoption of ReWalk as a rehabilitative standard for spinal cord injury mobility. Continued improvements may accelerate market penetration and bolster investor confidence in Lifeward’s growth trajectory.
