Erigo
The Hocoma Erigo is a sophisticated motorized tilt-table designed for early rehabilitation of patients who have suffered from neurological disorders or injuries. It allows patients who are unable to stand or walk to perform active movements in a vertical position, simulating the natural walking pattern. The device can be tilted to different angles, providing a range of challenging exercises to help patients recover faster. Its advanced features, such as adjustable leg supports, armrests, and footplates, make it highly adaptable to the patient’s individual needs. The Erigo also offers a range of biofeedback and monitoring tools, providing therapists with valuable data to track patient progress and adjust treatment plans accordingly. Clinical studies have shown that early mobilization with the Erigo can lead to improved functional outcomes and a faster recovery time, making it an essential tool in the rehabilitation of patients with neurological disorders or injuries.
Andago v2.0
The Hocoma Andago v2.0 is a cutting-edge mobile exoskeleton designed for the rehabilitation of patients with gait impairments. It offers a unique combination of mobility and support, providing patients with the freedom to move around and perform various activities while receiving the assistance they need. The device is highly adaptable and can be easily customized to meet the specific needs of each patient. Its advanced sensor technology allows for real-time monitoring of the patient’s movements, providing valuable data to therapists for optimizing treatment plans. The Andago v2.0 has been shown to improve gait speed, endurance, and overall functional outcomes, leading to better patient outcomes and an improved quality of life. Its versatility and user-friendly design make it a valuable tool in the rehabilitation of patients with gait impairments.
Lokomat
The Hocoma Lokomat is a state-of-the-art medical device that offers a robotic gait training solution for individuals who have suffered from neurological disorders or injuries that have resulted in mobility impairments. The Lokomat uses a robotic exoskeleton that enables precise and repetitive movements of the legs while supporting the patient’s weight. It offers a highly customizable and adaptable approach to gait rehabilitation, allowing therapists to tailor the training to the patient’s individual needs and track their progress over time. The Lokomat has been shown to improve gait patterns, reduce spasticity, and increase endurance and strength, leading to improved functional outcomes and a higher quality of life for patients.
Arm & Hand
The Armeo Therapy Concept offers a sustainable and potent approach to therapy for those who have experienced hand and arm impairment due to neurological disorders, strokes, or traumatic brain injury.
Research indicates that the brain’s neural plasticity remains intact despite the patient’s condition. Intensive, repetitive, task-oriented movements can establish new connections in the brain, facilitating its gradual reorganization and the restoration of movement and functionality to the affected areas.
The Armeo Therapy Concept enhances the effectiveness of therapy by enabling self-initiated, self-directed, functional, and intensive exercises. Even individuals with severe impairments can perform the exercises independently, without the constant presence of a therapist, unlocking their full potential for recovery.
