The April 17, 2025, Exoskeleton Report newsletter spotlights Biomechanics Day 2025, a global push to inspire high‑school students to pursue biomechanics, and invites researchers to submit abstracts for WearRAcon Europe at A+A 2025. In industrial news, studies show the LiftSuit passive back exosuit lessens muscle load and pain in workers with mild back issues, while the NekSpine support system eases surgeons’ neck strain. The medical section explores a new balance‑control method that could boost gait‑assist exoskeleton balance, and LifeWard’s ReWalk 7 debuts with faster, app‑linked mobility. In research & technology news, another preference‑based optimization trial where users dialed in their own lifting‑and‑lowering assistance levels on a soft back exosuit.
On the business front, German Bionic teams with KULR for North American rollout of the Apogee ULTRA, and a U.S. executive order aims to accelerate defense tech acquisition, just as Innophys enters NATO–Japan dialogue on dual‑use (military/industrial) wearables. This edition also celebrates Marsi Bionics winning top honors at SERI 2025 for their pediatric study, lists fresh #ExoJobs openings, and closes with a reminder to support ExR on Patreon.
