Armeo Extra Time: Family and caregivers can participate in rehab

Elevate your therapy sessions to the next level with the ArmeoSpring Pro, the latest development in upper limb rehabilitation technology from our partner Hocoma.

Empower family, caregivers and healthcare assistants to actively participate in the patient’s journey with Extra Time training. This allows you to extend Armeo Therapy beyond regular sessions with therapists, promoting intensive training. Extra Time is available for the ArmeoSpring Pro, as well as the ArmeoSpring, ArmeoSpring Pediatric, and ArmeoSenso.

How can you use the ArmeoSpring Pro to promote inclusion of family and caregivers?

Therapists play a pivotal role in introducing Extra Time. Therapists can guide suitable patients and assistants on using Extra Time following a therapy plan already defined by the therapist. Users can enter sessions with a patient-specific password for secure access, ensuring a tailored and effective therapy guided by the step-by-step instructions in the software.

Multiplayer games allow patients, therapists, family and friends to interact with each other during therapy, increasing motivation and patient engagement with their rehabilitation.
