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 60 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)
- Adjustable Robotic Assist during Exercises.
The ArmeoPower assists the patient’s arm as much as needed to successfully reach the goal of the exercise.
(Nef et al. 2009)
Improve Efficiency & Intensity
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.”
