RESTORING GAIT AFTER NEUROLOGICAL DIAGNOSES IN ADULTS AND CHILDREN
R-Gait is an innovative end-effector robot that aims to retrain patients with neurological diseases or after a stroke to walk in a natural gait pattern. By using sensors on special foot plates, R-Gait simulates the typical foot movement and supports the extension of the metatarsophalangeal joints, thereby simulating the push-off phase of the foot as in a natural gait pattern.
Take your patient care to the next level!
Highlights
- Up to 1500 steps per session: R-Gait allows patients to complete up to 1500 steps in one session, which enables intensive and efficient gait rehabilitation.
- Time-efficient therapy: The system enables a 30-minute training session that is optimally tailored to the patient’s individual needs. Adaptation to the patient takes less than 5 minutes.
- Training for the targeted promotion of neuroplasticity and tissue adaptation: The R-Gait system uses biofeedback to enable targeted training that can promote neuroplastic changes with the help of task-oriented feedback. At the same time, body relief and the precise adjustment of gait parameters offer a gradual increase in requirements to support effective tissue adaptation.
- After the initial recovery phase: R-Gait is specifically designed for use after the initial recovery phase and is ideal for further improving mobility.
- Optimal gait patterns and physiological gait for children and adults: “Dynamic Joint Alignment Therapy” enables the correction of malpositions of the lower limbs during therapy. This promotes optimal static loading of the bone-muscle system.
- Integrated pelvic module for guided and natural movements
- Promotes natural 3D movement of the entire body
- Active participation mode allows the patient to walk independently with support
- The tablet allows the user to observe the patient from all sides
- Covers the widest range of patient heights and weights
Functionality & technology
R-Gait is an end-effector robot that teaches patients to walk again with a gait pattern that is as natural as possible. The end-effector type of gait training mimics the principle of a natural gait pattern by using foot plates equipped with sensors. These support the patient in extending the metatarsophalangeal joints and stimulate the push-off phase of the foot as in the natural gait pattern.
R-Gait promotes precisely measured gait training in a safe environment and is therefore suitable for the initial recovery phase. R-Gait is suitable for adults and children from a height of 80 cm.
Real-time gait biofeedback
Real-time gait biofeedback is used to assess biomechanical impairments in the walking behavior of patients who have suffered a stroke, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy or other neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis, morbus: Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson`s Disease.
Treatment data can be stored in exportable gait reports, and both the therapist and the patient can monitor useful therapy information to track and evaluate progress.
