Episode 12: Pediatric Devices with Matt Marino

In this conversation, Matthew Marino—a recognized expert in occupational exoskeletons—provides a comprehensive overview of pediatric exoskeleton solutions and related non-exo devices, with a special focus on Cerebral Palsy applications.

Matthew Marino has over twenty years of experience in physical rehabilitation, health, fitness, human performance, ergonomics, and injury prevention, as well as in designing, testing, and implementing wearable sensors and exoskeleton technologies. He has worked hands-on with exoskeletons since 2015 and has been actively involved in creating standards for ASTM Committee F48 on Exoskeletons and Exosuits since 2017. Through his leadership, he has helped establish safe and effective exoskeleton practices for preventing workplace injuries and assisting injured workers in returning to their jobs.

Matt and I (Bobby) are founding members of the ASTM Exo Technology Center of Excellence, where we collaborated on several projects. He owns two companies—Evolving Innovation and Prime Performance—and, on a personal note, is also the father of a special needs child with cerebral palsy (CP).
