Armeo®Power

Limitations of Conventional Arm and Hand Therapy

• Severity prevents practice
• Difficult to keep patients motivated
• A limited number of repetitions
• Therapy is limited by the availability of therapists
• Unclear feedback regarding progress and performance

• Changing needs of patients

Advantages of ArmeoPower Therapy

• Highly Intensive Early Arm Rehabilitation
• The ArmeoPower has been specifically designed for arm and hand therapy in an early stage of rehabilitation.
• The device enables even patients with severe movement impairments to perform exercises with a high number of repetitions (high intensity), which is paramount for relearning motor function.

Assist-As-Needed Movement Guidance

• The ArmeoPower uses sensors and intelligent algorithms to recognize when the patient is not able to carry out a movement and assists the patient’s arm as much as needed to successfully reach the goal of the exercise.
• It automatically adapts the arm movement guidance to the individual needs and changing abilities of each patient–from full movement guidance for patients with very little activity to no support at all for more advanced patients. This assist-as-needed movement guidance enables and motivates patients to participate actively in their training, which effectively supports motor relearning.

Arm Weight Support in an Extensive 3D Workspace

• The ArmeoPower is the world’s first commercially available robotic exoskeleton for upper extremity rehabilitation. The six actuated degrees of freedom allow training in an extensive 3D workspace.
• This enables patients to practice the movements important for their therapy progress and daily life. The ArmeoPower supports 1D (joint-specific), 2D and 3D movements.

 Taking into account the contraindications and every patient’s individual profile, indications for the use of the ArmeoPower include:

• Stroke
• Multiple sclerosis (MS)
• Cerebral palsy (CP)
• Recovery from neurosurgical interventions
• Spinal cord injuries (SCI)
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Muscle diseases
• Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders
• Upper limb ataxia

• Neuropathies (e.g. Guillain-Barré syndrome)
