Robotics-assisted therapy: the future of rehabilitation

robotic supported therapy

Supportive, efficient and patient-friendly

In our blog posts, we repeatedly report on robotics-assisted therapy. Robotic technology is playing an increasingly important role in modern medicine, especially in rehabilitation. However, these are not large, intimidating machines that force their movements on patients, but high-precision, supportive technologies that assist therapists and support patients in improving their mobility and quality of life.

What is robotic-assisted therapy?

Robotic therapy describes the use of robotic systems to support patients during rehabilitation. In neurorehabilitation, these systems are often used in physiotherapy and occupational therapy. The robots are not intended to replace human therapists, but to support them. They help with the execution of exercises and make progress measurable, which increases the efficiency of the therapy.

Advantages of robot-assisted therapy

Precise and consistent support Robotic technology enables more precise control and execution of movements than would be possible manually by therapists. It can repeat movements exactly, which is particularly important when certain movement sequences need to be trained to restore neurological connections. This precision ensures that patients always perform the correct movements, which can promote healing.

Visible progress Another advantage is the ability to clearly visualise progress. The robotic therapy systems continuously collect data on the patient’s movements, progress and improvement in mobility. This information can be displayed in real time to both the patient and the therapist. This gives both a better understanding of how well the therapy is working and which areas may need more attention or adjustment.

Support for therapists Robots are a valuable tool that makes the work of therapists easier. For example, they relieve therapists of heavy physical labour by helping to guide movements. This allows therapists to focus on other important aspects of treatment, such as motivating patients and adapting the therapy plan.

Enabling new movements A key advantage of robotic therapy is that it enables patients to perform movements that they could not do on their own. Particularly after serious injuries or strokes, patients often lack the strength, balance or coordination to perform certain movements. Robots can help them to relearn and train these movements safely and gradually.

Motivation through playful elements Many robotic therapy systems use gamified approaches to make therapy more attractive for patients. The exercises are embedded in a playful format in which patients can, for example, achieve virtual goals or collect points. This can significantly increase motivation.

Personalised therapy Thanks to modern technology, robotic therapy systems can be individually tailored to patients. Every movement and every step of progress is analysed and the therapy can be continuously adapted. This means that patients receive exactly the support they need to optimise their abilities.

Robotic therapy an integral part of therapy at cereneo

Robotics-assisted therapy does not replace human contact, but is an extremely helpful tool in rehabilitation. Patients benefit from efficient and safe support that can speed up their recovery. The technology enables highly individualised therapy plans and more precise work by therapists and gives patients the feeling that they are working safely and effectively on their recovery. Thanks to robotic support, more and more patients are able to regain movements they previously thought impossible.

At cereneo, we have a variety of robotic therapy systems, such as the CAREN; Zero-G, Lokomat or Humac Norm. The complete list of our therapy technologies can be found here.
