Robo Gait
RoboGait is an advanced gait therapy robot, classified as an end-effector type device. Unlike exoskeletons, which are attached directly to the patient’s joints, RoboGait stimulates movement through special orthoses fastened to the feet. These orthoses guide the patient’s feet along a physiological gait path, allowing the restoration of a natural walking pattern. The patient is suspended in a harness above a treadmill, while the dynamic body-weight support system unloads their body mass, minimizing strain and ensuring safety.
Intensity and Repetition: During a 30-minute session, the robot can perform between 1,000 and 1,500 gait cycles, which is impossible to achieve in traditional therapy. Such a number of repetitions is crucial for stimulating brain neuroplasticity, accelerating gait re-education after injury. Physiological Gait Pattern: The end-effector technology enables precise reproduction of the natural, physiological gait cycle, including toe push-off and weight transfer phases, which are essential for restoring proper biomechanics. Increased Motivation: The device is equipped with virtual reality, which motivates the patient through games and progress visualization. This leads to more active participation in therapy and faster improvement. Objective Progress Assessment: Built-in sensors and software allow real-time monitoring of gait parameters such as pressure force on the platforms, step length, and symmetry. Access to precise data is a valuable tool for both therapist and patient.
RoboGait is designed for a wide range of patients with gait deficits, including: Patients after stroke Patients after spinal cord injuries (SCI) Children with cerebral palsy (CP) Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson’s disease Patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) Patients with muscle weakness after prolonged immobilization
