1. Robotic complex for locomotor therapy with extended feedback
2. The new FreeD module improves the effectiveness of therapy through the function of transferring body weight and activating balance through lateral and rotational movements of the pelvis
3. New generation of competitive therapeutic programs
4. Evaluation of the patient's condition and documentation of the progress of therapy
5. The goal of therapy on the Lokomat system (Lokomat) is to improve daily motor activity in patients with motor disorders due to neurological diseases using the principle of neuroplasticity.
6. Lokomat combines functional locomotor therapy with motivational training and objective patient assessment through advanced feedback tools and virtual reality, setting new standards in robotic rehabilitation.
7. The uniqueness of the rehabilitation complex LokomatPro
LokomatPro is a full-fledged robotic complex that simulates and reproduces a natural human gait, which, thanks to objective feedback and the active participation of the patient, leads to the activation of the sensorimotor networks of the brain responsible for walking.
The unique software with advanced biofeedback allows you to increase the patient's involvement in therapy, focus his attention on training and specific tasks, such as: use in a paretic leg, symmetrical distribution of the stride length of the right and left limbs, increase in stride length, etc.
The software is also adapted for the comfortable work of medical personnel, so a simple and ergonomic setup saves time, and active feedback calibration allows you to fine-tune the feedback.
To facilitate the routine use of the equipment, a system is provided for automatically generating reports on the dynamics of the rehabilitation process, as well as reports on the work done for the patient.
The system of dynamic unloading of body weight is unique. It reproduces the natural walking pattern with vertical movement of the patient in height (so-called "cushioning"). Compliance with the physiological pattern of the support load allows you to train the support muscles without resorting to heavy loads.
A distinctive feature of the complex is a system for controlled movement of the patient's pelvis, simulating lateral displacements, rotations of the pelvis and phases of transferring the patient's body weight from one leg to another to reproduce a natural gait. The FreeD module provides several unique training options: rotation of the pelvis to activate the muscles of the core; transfer of body weight from one leg to another; abduction/adduction in the hip joints.
LokomatPro, thanks to the presence of the FreeD module, is the only robotic exoskeleton device in the world that has 4 degrees of freedom of movement in each leg: ankle, knee and two planes of the hip joint.
A unique feature of this equipment is the possibility of rehabilitation of children with a height of 86 cm (approximately the age of 4 years), as well as adolescents and adults with a height of up to 202 cm in one complex.
The software adapts to the training of children or teenagers by changing the sensitivity of security systems and sensors that control the drives of the exoskeleton.
The only stationary robotic exoskeleton, the technology of which is patented by 9 patents.
The most studied robotic gait device: more than 400 studies by independent research groups have proven the safe and effective use of the Lokomat.
8. The concept of locomotor therapy
The Lokomat robotic complex was developed in collaboration with the Center for Spinal Cord Injury at the Balgrist Clinic in Switzerland. Lokomat is a robotic exoskeleton complex that performs physiological movements of the lower extremities in patients with walking disorders. In cases of impaired motor function (due to traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, neurological, muscle or bone pathologies), Lokomat therapy improves patient mobility.
Innovative therapy on Lokomat has proven effective in restoring gait function in patients with trauma and pathology of the nervous system, providing restoration of motor functions thanks to the latest advances in neurorehabilitation.
9. Key benefits of LokomatPro therapy
Lokomat provides a physiologically repeatable walking pattern, which is extremely important in the early stages of rehabilitation. Lokomat allows for high-intensity therapy leading to a fast rehabilitation process.
Lokomat's advanced feedback tools displaying real-time walking activity provide comprehensive, accurate biofeedback and a high level of patient motivation. During walking training on a treadmill, there is a natural stimulation of the receptors of the supporting zones of the foot, leading to reverse afferentation and activation of the areas of the cerebral cortex responsible for locomotion, which allows you to re-form the skills of motor activity.
10. Intensive Functional Movement Therapy
Patients in a wheelchair can be easily moved to an upright position and secured with special fixators in the Lokomat.
The computer-controlled Lokomat robotic orthoses are precisely synchronized with the speed of the treadmill (range 1 to 3.2 km/h). They give the patient's legs a trajectory of movement close to the physiological pattern of walking. The user-friendly computer interface allows the therapist to effortlessly control the Lokomat and adjust the training parameters according to the needs of each patient.
11. New competitive programs increase long-term patient motivation
LokomatPro game programs offer exciting exercises that increase the patient's motivation and activity, providing elements of competition with an intuitive scoring system. Functional extended feedback motivates the patient to improve specific aspects of walking, such as foot elevation, stride length and symmetry.
Even patients with gross motor impairments who still need maximum support benefit from the kinematic variability increase option, which greatly improves gait learning.
Lokomat robotic orthoses are equipped with special force sensors that measure the active movements of the patient and further allow to adapt the intensity of mechanical assistance to movement for each limb separately. Real-time adjustable intensity of mechanical motion assistance promotes more active participation of the patient in rehabilitation.
The integrated feedback system monitors the patient's gait and visually displays up to 8 biomechanical characteristics of walking in real time, increasing the patient's motivation and stimulating the process of motor relearning.
