Indego Therapy Exoskeleton
A new video has been released to showcase the Indego Therapy exoskeleton. It’s worth 14 minutes of your time.
Indego Exoskeleton – Advanced Opportunities for Therapy
These three institutions can offer trials of the Indego Personal unit and therapy sessions with the Therapy product.
– More Rehab (Sheffield/Doncaster)
– The Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital (Aylesbury)
– The Wellington Hospital (London)
The real power offered by the Indego for Therapy is it’s ability to really fine tune the support provided to a user. It’s easy to argue that if an exoskeleton does all the work it is not likely to be beneficial to the user who has potential for functional recovery. The Indego’s outstanding ability to provide adjustable support to the user means that it is truly restorative technology. It’s the combination of hardware and software that makes the difference. To take advantage of neuralplasticity it is important that fine control of the gait pattern is achieved – otherwise all that happens is a reinforcement of poor performance.
This video unpicks the details of exactly what the Indego Therapy unit can do.
What’s the difference between the Therapy and Personal models?
The Therapy unit has an adjustable thigh and pelvis sections to allow easy adjustment in the clinic for users with different statures. The Personal unit functions in an identical manner but the fact that it is intended for one user means that the adjustment features are not needed. It is therefore lighter. Some 12 kg for the Personal Indego and 17 kg for the Therapy product
