Motorika, a company out of Mount Laurel, New Jersey, is introducing its Optimal-G Pro robotic walking rehabilitation system at the American Physical Therapy Association’s Combined Sessions Meeting this week in Washington DC.
The device helps to train the walking gait of people who have suffered from a variety of neurological, neuromuscular, and other injuries. It does so by having the legs strapped into the robotic component and the so-called Enhanced Learning Intelligence TEchnology (ELITE) adjusts the assistance it provides depending on each patient’s needs.
The patient is constantly monitored using front and side cameras, which gives therapists a clear look at each patient’s walking style and ability. The firm claims that the robot can match each person’s natural walking movements and therefore not feel restrictive.
“The Optimal-G™ Pro has been a great addition to our therapy program,” in a published statement said Dr. Martin Rahn Setliff, Medical Director of Inpatient Rehabilitation at Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge, La. “It engages and motivates patients in ways we were never able to achieve previously. The numerous settings and options have made this device beneficial to patients with a variety of impairments and functional deficits.”
