Self-initiated repetitive arm and hand therapy in an extensive 3D workspace

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 the patient

Self-Initiated Movement Therapy by providing arm weight support, the ArmeoSpring enables patients to use any remaining motor functions and encourages them to achieve a higher number of reach and grasp movements based on specific therapy goals.

Self-Initiated Movement Therapy

  • By providing arm weight support, the ArmeoSpring enables patients to use any remaining motor functions and encourages them to achieve a higher number of reach and grasp movements based on specific therapy goals.
  • As all activity during the training is based on the patient’s own movements, this repetitive training leads to better, faster results and improved long-term outcomes.
Simultaneous Arm and Hand Therapy in a 3D Workspace
The ArmeoSpring allows the simultaneous arm and hand training in an extensive 3D workspace with six degrees of freedom.
This enables patients to practice the movements important for their therapy progress and daily life. The ArmeoSpring supports 1D (joint-specific), 2D, and 3D movements.

Ergonomic Exoskeleton
The ergonomic and adjustable exoskeleton of the ArmeoSpring embraces the whole arm, from shoulder to hand, and counterbalances the weight of the patient’s arm.
Built-in sensors record the active movements and all joint angles during the therapy session.
Motivating Exercises
An extensive library of motivating game-like Augmented Performance Feedback exercises has been designed to train core movement patterns that are commonly used in activities of daily living.
Immediate performance feedback motivates patients and helps to improve their motor abilities, leading to more independence in daily routine and therefore better quality of life.

Increased Therapy Efficiency

The ArmeoSpring enables therapists to deliver higher training efficiency (more hours per day) thanks to self-directed therapy, which may lead to better long-term outcomes.
This is possible by reducing the need for continuous therapeutic guidance, thus giving therapists the possibility to supervise more than one patient at a time. Furthermore, self-directed therapy enables patients to reach an even higher therapy intensity through extra training during after-hours and weekends.

Intended Use
ArmeoSpring is a rehabilitative exercise device intended for patients who have lost their function or have restricted function, in their upper extremities caused by central or peripheral nervous system damage, muscular disorders, or bone-related disorders. 
These devices allow the patient to train specific exercises in order to increase muscle strength and range of motion in different joints, with the overall goal of improving motor function. 
Furthermore, they assist clinicians in evaluating changes in motor function as therapy progresses.

Indications
Taking into account the contraindications and every patient’s individual profile, indications for the use of the ArmeoSpring are:

Stroke/ Hemiplegia
Multiple sclerosis (MS)
Cerebral palsy (CP)
Recovery from neurosurgical interventions
