Try this Device to Save Your Knees This Ski Season

Knee discomfort and fatigue are common complaints with seasoned skiers and can limit the duration of a much anticipated ski day or ski vacation. Excessive wear and tear to leg muscles and knee joint pressure can cause damage that leads to pain and discomfort translating into potential life-long issues.

Elevate from Roam Robotics is the first consumer exoskeleton that addresses these issues experienced by seasoned skiers. It is designed specifically to offload weight from quads and knees to enable skiers to fully embrace and enjoy the sport they love free of discomfort and pain. Elevate is available to rent at premiere resort partners this winter.

How It Works

This device offloads up to 30% of your body weight with compressed air powered actuators, significantly reducing the load on quads and the painful knee joint compression forces typically experienced in alpine skiing. It also doubles as a shock absorber that provides cushioning during turns and impacts.

By combining on-board sensors with smart software, Elevate anticipates your turns and automatically adjusts knee and quad support to aid your natural movements. Elevate’s lightweight frame provides extra muscular skeletal support designed to improve knee stability and protect the knee from normal wear and tear by letting the loads bypass the knee.

Get Fitted

Fitting Elevate to your body is incredibly easy and fast, taking just a couple of minutes. It starts by strapping the exoskeleton to your thigh and lower leg using easy-adjust ratchets. Next just plug in the cables, switch on the powerpack and you’re ready to go!

Skiers who have used Elevate in the past felt little, if any, knee discomfort after using our exoskeleton, which they say was lightweight and inconspicuous, and offered them more control and focus. See what some of our early testers had to say after experiencing Elevate here.
