Erigo® - Introduction

Patient mobilization and sensory stimulation

The Erigo is an innovative tilt table with integrated robotic stepping functions. It provides the opportunity to begin intensive movement therapy and physiological loading of the lower limbs at an early stage after onset combined with the possibility of simultaneous up-righting of the patient.

Advantages of Erigo® based therapy

  • Combines verticalization, leg movement and cyclic loading
  • Supports and facilitates patient mobilization
  • Activates the cardiovascular system
  • Intensive afferent sensory stimulation
  • Repetitive physical motion reduces spasticity in some patients
  • May reduce risk of secondary complications caused by immobility
  • May improve alertness in vegetative state patients
  • Relieves physical strain on therapists
  • Easy to use


"Experience at our institution suggests this system may alter the way in which patients are treated in intensive care units, as well as enhance early and intensive rehabilitation protocols that ideally would begin as soon as the patient is stabilized".
