The company maintains headquarters in Yokneam Israel Hudson Massachusetts and Berlin Germany and sells its products primarily in the United States Europe and select markets in Asia the Middle East and South America.

Lifeward generates revenue from the sale of its ReWalk personal and rehabilitation exoskeletons from the ReStore exo suit and from the AlterG anti gravity systems. Revenue also comes from distributing the MyoCycle FES cycles under the agreement with MYOLYN and from providing after sales service including maintenance contracts and extended warranties. In the United States a portion of sales is reimbursed through the Veterans Health Administration which accounted for approximately three point eight percent of total revenue in the year ended December 2025. Additional revenue is derived from direct sales to rehabilitation centers hospitals and clinics from sales to individual patients who pay out of pocket and from payments received through workers compensation arrangements such as the agreement with CorLife. The company also benefits from reimbursement approvals obtained from Medicare private insurers and various European statutory health funds which allow it to bill third party payors for its devices.

Lifeward operates in a competitive landscape that includes several established players in the exoskeleton and anti gravity markets. Direct competitors for its ReWalk product line are Ekso Bionics Rex Bionics Cyberdyne FREE Bionics DIH Wandercraft and Bioness. In the anti gravity space Lifeward competes with manufacturers such as BTL Industries and other providers of treadmill based gait training equipment. The company’s competitive advantages stem from its proprietary tilt sensor technology which enables a self initiated walking pattern that closely mimics natural gait. The ReWalk personal exoskeleton is the only device with regulatory clearance for use on stairs and curbs in the United States and Europe which expands its usability in real world environments. The AlterG system differentiates itself through its patented differential air pressure technology originally derived from NASA research which allows precise and comfortable body weight support during rehabilitation and athletic training.
