CĀPABL Clinicians

The future of movement technology needs a clinical perspective.

We’re inviting licensed healthcare professionals to help plan a network for trying and testing movement-related consumer devices.

Bring your perspective.

We’re prioritizing physical therapists and occupational therapists. Other licensed healthcare professionals may be considered after manual eligibility review. Tell us how your expertise relates to movement, recovery, ergonomics or physical performance.

Help choose the questions, methods and how the network works. We’ll review your background and interests before discussing participation.

Help shape the first evaluations.

We want clinicians to help assess setup, comfort and everyday use by trying devices themselves. Applications are open, but testing assignments are not available yet.

Program scope and participation details

Future tests would involve clinicians trying devices themselves and recording what happens under an agreed test plan. This first program will not include patient testing, patient data, use in clinical practice, medical-device trials or studies of therapeutic effectiveness. Medical rehabilitation exoskeletons, therapeutic FES/NMES products and other medical devices are outside this founding program.

The network is not operational, and testing through it has not begun. Applying does not offer verified membership, product access, paid testing or an assignment. Compensation and pilot arrangements remain undecided. No Clinician Tested designation or certification is available.

Clinician involvement alone does not establish an endorsement or meet CAPABL Tested criteria.

Start with an application. We’ll review your background and discuss a pilot if there’s a match.
