Early and acute rehabilitation
Starting as early as possible
Mobilising patients who are in the ICU or acute units for serious and complex injuries as early as possible – even those who are comatose or unable to move at all – gives them the greatest chance of recovery and enhances their quality of life.
Safely moving patients who are immobile or unable to interact is very physically demanding, challenging, and time-consuming. In addition, being bedridden or unable to use your upper or lower limbs without the opportunity for intensive rehabilitation can lead to muscle weakness, cardiovascular instability, and loss of function.
Additionally, neurorehabilitation plays an important role for neural plasticity and functional recovery. Research suggests that the neural plasticity of the brain is retained after an injury, and new connections can be made through intensive, repetitive, task-oriented movements. These exercises allow the restoration of movement and functionality and motivates patients throughout their rehabilitation process.
It is therefore extremely beneficial to get acute patients gradually accustomed to being upright and moving again, and severe upper or lower limb patients gradually using their limbs, in a safe and controlled environment.
Robotic technology can make this vital difference to the recovery prospects of patients, even if they cannot move themselves. Using technology gets the blood pumping, their limbs moving, and reduces risk of complications further down the line.
As patients start to regain their stability and movement function, they can then progress to other devices to further their rehabilitation journey. This also frees up resources within the healthcare setting, as intensive repetitive rehabilitation at an earlier stage in a patient’s recovery helps them be discharged sooner and recover earlier at home or in the community.
The ROBERT®
The ROBERT® is the only early rehabilitation solution capable of training both the upper and lower limbs.
ROBERT® is an innovative robotic rehabilitation device that focuses on delivering efficient therapy and providing early mobilisation of acute patients.
The ROBERT® is a portable solution which offers both active resistive and assistive mobilisation for both the upper and lower limb, with optional FES, providing patients and healthcare professionals with better conditions for rehabilitation.
Its unique 7 degrees of freedom allows therapists to first define the movement, including Activities of Daily Living or Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation. The ROBERT® then carries out the intensive therapy either in-bed or seated.

Gait and balance therapy
Getting patients back on their feet
Our range of devices for gait and balance are ideal for the in-depth evaluation and intensive training of functional lower limb movement.
From starting in bed with robotic upper and lower limb movement, to mobilisation on a robotic tilt table, to walking on rehabilitation treadmills, your patients can progress from acute mobilisation and verticalisation to overground gait and balance training and treadmill-based gait adaptability training.
As the therapist, you can be hands-free and take a step back to assess their movement, providing feedback and monitoring their progress throughout gait, balance and stability tasks.
We also offer state-of-the-art multi-sensory rehabilitation treadmill systems, which can be used for clinical analysis and immersive physical therapy using virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).
For example, the Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN, pictured right) combines a motion platform with six degrees of freedom, an instrumented force plate dual belt treadmill, motion capture, high speed video, D-Flow software, virtual reality and surround sound, and uses game elements and immersive interactions to engage the subject within a real time feedback loop.
The CAREN is used by some of the UK’s leading facilities including the Defence and National Rehabilitation Centre (DNRC) and the Brain and Spinal Injury Centre (BASIC).
The ROBERT® by Life Science Robotics offers efficient mobilisation and early rehabilitation for both upper and lower limb. Therapists first define the movement. The ROBERT® then carries out the intensive therapy either in-bed or seated.
Exercises for the lower limb can be created and tailored to individual patients. ROBERT® then carries out these exercises, which are recorded and monitored by the healthcare professional.
Optimised for ease of use with quick set up, operating with 7 degrees of freedom to allow for bespoke mobilisation patterns to be programmed.
Reporting and progress monitoring allows the healthcare provider to easily modify treatment, and an optional FES module intelligently senses the intent of an immobile patient based on the signals from the muscles to contract the weakened muscles and assist-as-needed.

Arm and hand
The Armeo range of upper limb devices use robotics and sensors for hand and arm impairment. The range addresses different patient and therapeutic needs across the different stages of rehabilitation, from acute rehabilitation to moderately-impaired outpatient therapy.
The Armeo enables patients to practise and repeat movements with their hands and/or arms, aiding neural plasticity and supporting the patient’s progress and recovery.
Feedback and results are provided by Augmented Performance Feedback, which is a shared software platform that encourages and motivates patients to achieve a higher number of repetitions. This will lead to better, quicker results, increased efficiency, and improved long-term outcomes.
The game-like software also provides automatic, ongoing assessment of motor functions and patients can easily track their progress, which helps them to take their training into their own hands and reach their therapy goals. These programs have been designed to train core movement patterns which are commonly used in daily life activities.
The new ROBERT® by Life Science Robotics offers intensive upper limb rehabilitation for patients with upper limb weakness and loss of movement. Therapists first define the movement, including Activities of Daily Living or Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation. The ROBERT® then carries out the intensive therapy either in-bed or seated.
With 7 degrees of freedom, ROBERT® promotes functional recovery and activity of daily living training and supports vital and complex movements. Active, active-assistive and passive training are adjustable options depending on the patient’s level of impairment, and offers repetitive, task-oriented exercises in a controlled environment.

Plantar pressure, sensors and force plates
Plantar pressure mapping data has become a crucial part of clinical gait assessments, and helps clinicians understand the complex interaction between the rearfoot, midfoot, and forefoot joints – particularly where there is pain and injury. Measurement tools quantify loading, motion, and footwear performance, and are also particularly critical for those with reduced foot sensation.
This data can then be used to predict functional outcomes with confidence, and validate treatment plans that result in improved patient outcomes.
Additionally, electromyography (EMG) and inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors can be used for functional diagnoses and during motion and gait analysis. EMG can also be used as a control signal for prosthetic devices.
We are pleased to stock state-of-the-art EMG and IMUs for clinical gait analysis, including wireless, mini and waterproof systems.
These are fully compatible with software provided free of charge to acquire up to 36 channels of EMG or IMU data simultaneously, view and replay inertial data, and export and report all analyses.
The Optima Series by force plate market leader AMTI is a major breakthrough in force measurement technology. When you purchase an AMTI Optima force plate, you know you are getting the best force platform system available.
Force platforms measure the ground reaction force as a subject stands on or walks across it, giving a full three-dimensional description of the force that acts on a human body during a movement. This can then be used to assess progress and performance.
AMTI’s precise calibration involves up to 4000 measurements taken along a high-density grid that covers the entire platform’s surface. Multiple loads are applied up at up to 400 locations using a precision machine capable of maintaining absolute positioning accuracy of 0.005mm, which is certified by the Association for Manufacturing Technology.
