Clinical Research
Hocoma devices have always been forerunners in rehabilitation technology and have therefore sparked a lot of interest, not only with clinicians, but also in the research community. We are proud to say that today, over 500 peer reviewed journal articles have been published that include our devices and Hocoma is partnering with the most recognized research institutions in the world. The Clinical research department is your partner regarding questions of knowledge management, clinical trial management, clinical research expertise and scientific event management.
Knowledge Management
Are you searching for clinical evidence regarding the Hocoma devices? For this purpose, we have created the Hocoma Knowledge Platform, where we provide you with all the available scientific information and regularly feature newly published articles, all in the same convenient place. If you know of any articles that were published with our devices, that we missed, please don’t hesitate to contact us, we’d be happy to add them to the list.
Clinical Trial Management
Hocoma has many long standing partnerships with world leading research institutions who are interested in the effects of our devices on patients’ rehabilitation success.
Currently, our research focus is centered around the following topics:
What are the economic advantages of the Lokomat? We are collaborating with research-experienced clinical health economists on this topic.
How can one increase the efficiency of delivering therapy thanks to Hocoma devices? We are collaborating with research-experienced clinical health economists on this topic.
What are the training advantages of the Augmented Performance Feedback? We are collaborating with research-experienced clinical partners to investigate the effect of using augmented performance feedback in a longitudinal study.
Are you interested in a research collaboration with Hocoma on one of the topics mentioned above? Let us know by completing the contact form.
Please understand, that in order to keep study results objective and independent, Hocoma cannot support research studies financially. We can however provide support in many other ways to those institutions interested in the topics mentioned above.
Clinical Research Expertise
Hocoma’s research partners have a leading role in rehabilitation research in the world, and they are happy to share their knowledge and experiences upon request. Hocoma helps to connect people around the world in order to move the field of rehabilitation technology forward. One example of how we do this is the Hocoma-initiated ARTIC network (Advanced Robotic Therapy Integrated Centers).
Advanced Robotic Therapy Integrated Centers (ARTIC) ARTIC is an international network of trailblazer institutions in the use of advanced rehabilitation technologies. The network was originally initiated by, but is now independent of Hocoma. It is currently chaired by PD Dr. Hubertus van Hedel, Head of Research at the Rehabilitation Center for Children and Adolescents of the University Children’s Hospital Zurich. By introducing a standardized assessment protocol, the members generate valuable data upon which evidence-based guidelines can ensure a sophisticated use of modern technology and therefore improve patient outcome. Active member are Spaulding Rehabilitation Center, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, Rehaklinik Zihlschlacht, Kinder-, und Jugend Rehabilitationszentrum Affoltern, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Wellington Hospital, Schön Kliniken Vogtareuth, Von Hauernsches Kinderspital München, Rehabilitace Kladruby, Bundang Seoul National University Hospital, Moss Rehab and Sheltering Arms.
Scientific Event Management
RehabWeek 2017: Translation and Clinical Delivery
Event takes place in London, United Kingdom, from July 17th-20th and will target basic science, the translation of technologies across fields and promote clinical delivery.
Contact us to collaborate with us or to participate in your event
Hocoma organizes workshops, scientific sessions and other events for different international conferences and societies. Also, as a member of the IISART, together with our partners, we can organize company-independent events that promote the field of rehabilitation technology as a whole.
