Purpose: to determine the effectiveness of using the ReWalk robotic exoskeleton in the process of rehabilitation of patients with spinal cord injury. Materials and methods: an analysis of 35 sources of literature on research into the use of robotic exoskeletons and the ReWalk exoskeleton in the rehabilitation process was carried out. Results: on the basis of the studied and analyzed results and statistical data of the studies, the high efficiency of using ReWalk in the recovery process of patients with the consequences of a spinal cord injury was revealed. Conclusions: the ReWalk robotic exoskeleton enables patients with a spinal cord injury to move to a vertical position, walk, turn, climb, and descend stairs with minimal effort. Its use significantly expands the possibilities of self-care and independence from outside help, and also leads to a decrease in the risk of secondary complications.
