Rehab-Robotics Company Ltd

Areas of Specialization

The company primarily focuses on developing systems that facilitate neuro-rehabilitation, which is the process of helping the brain and nervous system relearn skills that have been lost due to injury or disease. Its products are engineered to provide active, repetitive, and measurable training that encourages neuroplasticityâ??the brainâ??s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. This focus is particularly evident in its flagship product, which targets upper extremity and hand function recovery, a critical area for restoring independence in daily living activities.

Products and Services

Rehab-Robotics offers a portfolio of specialized robotic and technology-assisted rehabilitation systems.

Hand of Hope (HOH) The Hand of Hope is the company's flagship and most recognized product, an innovative system that combines robotics and neuroscience for stroke rehabilitation. It received international acclaim, including the Grand Prix Award at the International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva in 2012.

• Functionality: HOH is a portable and wearable robotic hand brace designed to assist patients in regaining hand mobility, coordination, muscle relaxation, and overall motor control following a stroke.
• Technology: The system utilizes surface electromyography (sEMG). Two sEMG sensors are fastened to the flexor and extensor muscles of the patient's affected forearm. When the patient attempts to move their impaired hand, the sEMG electrodes detect their self-initiated, weak muscle signals. The robotic hand brace then reads these signals and assists the patient's hand in performing the desired movement, providing an immediate, full-range-of-motion exercise. This biofeedback mechanism reinforces the brain's attempt to move the limb, promoting active participation and accelerating the relearning of motor function.
• Product Variants and Features:
  • Hand of Hope Basic: The core robotic system for rehabilitation training.
  • HOH with Games: Integrates the robotic training into interactive, engaging games to further motivate patients and enhance compliance with therapy.

SmarTable SmarTable is another dedicated product offered by Rehab-Robotics, described as a system designed to offer a unique user experience within the rehabilitation process. While detailed mechanics are not fully specified, its inclusion on the product line indicates a focus on interactive, possibly table-based, therapy modalities.

Visio Roller The Visio Roller is a product that is part of the company's offering, focused on rehabilitation with its own unique system and features. The name suggests a focus on visual feedback or a rolling/movement mechanism for physical therapy.

Kineto Kineto represents a more comprehensive system within the product lineup, with a clear distinction between two major rehabilitation areas. * Kineto - Upper Extremity: Dedicated to the rehabilitation of the arms and hands. * Kineto - Lower Extremity: Dedicated to the rehabilitation of the legs and feet, likely focusing on gait and mobility training.

Services In addition to their core robotic devices, Rehab-Robotics commits to providing comprehensive services that support the use of their technology in clinical settings. These services include: * Integration of robotics into a patient's training activities of daily living. * Continuous education and professional support for clinicians and therapists using the systems.

The company's focus is on delivering unparalleled solutions for patient recovery through the convergence of biomedical engineering and clinical expertise.
