Precision diagnostics

ddrobotec® Sport delivers over 50 different measurements (biomarkers of health movement) across 13 distinct test categories, including proprioception, coordination, motor control, strength, power, and endurance. This comprehensive data provides valuable insights into the user’s motor performance and neuromuscular control, which are crucial for enhancing performance, preventing injuries, speeding up recovery, and tracking targeted training progress.

Intelligent strength training

Based on individual test results, ddrobotec® Sport offers programmable training programs with and without visual biofeedback to ensure precise execution. This tailored approach significantly improves the training outcomes for strength, coordination, mobility, speed, and endurance. Additionally, the training protocols can be standardised, ensuring that all users within a specific group or indication receive consistent workouts.

Best-in-class gamification

To make training both entertaining and more effective, ddrobotec® Sport features over 50 engaging exergames. These games not only enhance motivation but also collect data on cognitive abilities, intensifying the connection between cognitive functions and physical activity. This innovative approach promotes an effective integration of mental and physical training.

Cloud and app-based

ddrobotec® Sport collects data during each testing and training session. This data is then processed and stored in the ddrobotec® cloud, allowing for real-time access to actionable insights through various interfaces such as the system’s user interface, smartphone apps, user portals, and data API’s. Additionally, the existing sync-in/out feature provides opportunities for third-party providers to synchronise the collection of additional data, enhancing the overall utility of the system.
