Gait rehabilitation treatment using a wearable robot
For patients with nervous system damage aiming to improve their walking function, it's crucial to undergo repetitive walking training at a pace and in an environment similar to their ideal walking pattern. Moreover, it's crucial to actively involve patients in gait training to activate their autonomous movement. Unlike stationary robots that guide passive walking on a fixed treadmill, wearable robots are more effective in nerve recovery. They operate based on the wearer's intention, allowing them to feel the ground and move their weight while maintaining balance and walking. This approach enhances walking endurance by improving muscle strength and cardiopulmonary function.
ANGEL LEGS M20 provides added convenience for gait rehabilitation and is designed for easy donning and doffing. A skilled physical therapist can put on or remove the M20 in under 3 minutes. Given the 30-minute duration of gait rehabilitation treatment in many domestic hospitals, this significantly reduces the time required for attaching and detaching the robot, maximizing the effectiveness of gait rehabilitation treatment.
