What it is not

The most common thing people get wrong about the Apex 2 is thinking it is a machine. It is not, and that is the point.

  • Not powered Nothing to charge, nothing to run flat mid-shift.
  • Not a robot No actuators and no motion of its own. It moves when you do.
  • Not software No firmware, no app, no updates, no IT review.
  • Not a brace It does not restrict the movement. It shares the load during it.
