Limitations of Conventional Arm and Hand Therapy
- Severity prevents practice
- Difficult to keep patients motivated
- Limited number of repetitions
- Therapy limited by availability of therapists
- Unclear feedback regarding progress and performance
- Changing needs of patients
ArmeoPower is a highly advanced arm and hand rehabilitation device for early-stage patients even before they develop active movement.
Scientific Evidence of Arm and Hand Rehabilitation with ArmeoPower
More than 100 studies have been conducted on the ArmeoPower, including the research versions of the device.
- Highly Intensive Early Arm Rehabilitation.
The device enables even patients with severe movement impairments to perform exercises with high intensity.
(Staubli et al. 2009)
- Assist-As-Needed Movement Guidance.
The ArmeoPower uses sensors and intelligent algorithms to recognize when the patient is not able to carry out a movement and assists the patient’s arm as much as needed to successfully reach the goal of the exercise.
(Nef et al. 2009)
- Most severely affected patients profit most from robot assisted therapy.
In a large, randomized controlled trial in patients with stroke, those most severely affected profited most from the robotic arm training.

Earlier Start of Therapy
Increased Number of Repetitions
Enables Therapist to Supervise More Than One Patient at a Time
“In a way, 3D-robots plus games becomes your own arcade that is customized to you as the patient. I just don’t see where that is anywhere comparable to about twenty repetitions that are done by a therapist holding your arm. So it’s a qualitative difference.”
