ArmeoSpring training at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-Disability
Hocoma
Yesterday we joined the Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy teams at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-Disability for training with their Hocoma ArmeoSpring. The ArmeoSpring is a state-of-the-art upper limb rehabilitation device suitable for patients with mild to moderate impairment.
The Royal Hospital for Neuro-Disability said “It is great to have more staff trained and ready to support with using the device as one of our Upper Limb rehabilitation technology options.”
Thank you to the team for their time, and we are looking forward to seeing how even more staff and patients will be using the ArmeoSpring as part of their therapy plan.
About the Armeo therapy concept
The Hocoma Armeo range is a robotic and sensor-based set of devices for patients who have suffered from a stroke, traumatic brain injury or neurological disorder which results in hand and arm movement impairment. The Armeo range of products address different patient and therapeutic needs across the stages of rehabilitation, from acute rehabilitation to final outpatient therapy sessions. Even severely impaired patients can practise independently without the constant presence of a therapist, as exercises are self-initiated, self-directed, challenging and motivational. The devices range in the amount of support they provide for patients, from high levels of arm weight support to completely unassisted.

About the ArmeoSpring
The ArmeoSpring allows simultaneous arm and hand training in an extensive 3D workspace with six degrees of freedom. This enables patients to practice the movements that are key for their therapy progress and daily life.
The ArmeoSpring features an adjustable exoskeleton which supports the whole arm, from shoulder to hand, and counterbalances the weight of the patient’s arm. By providing arm weight support, the ArmeoSpring enables patients to use any remaining motor functions and encourages them to achieve a higher number of reach and grasp movements based on specific therapy goals. The activities are based on the patient’s own movements, and built-in sensors record the active movements and all joint angles during the therapy session.
