GaitTronics

GaitTronics was a Canadian rehabilitation robotics and medical device company focused on robotic systems for assisted living and physical rehabilitation. The company commercialized SoloWalk, a mobile patient-handling and gait-assistance robot designed to help mobilize frail or disabled patients while reducing caregiver burden and improving fall protection. Originating as a spin-off from Carleton University's Advanced Biomechatronics and Locomotion Laboratory, GaitTronics combined force sensing, autonomous following, and omni-directional actuation in its rehabilitation devices. Its products were aimed at hospitals, caregivers, and rehabilitation settings rather than drug development. Corporate registry data indicate the company was dissolved in 2021, although some third-party business databases still list it as active.
