Gait rehabilitation system PerPedes

robotic

PerPedes - Developed With Leading Neurologists PerPedes is based on the end-effector approach. It offers, amongst other benefits: Natural walking motion including plantar flexion Progressive hip and torso control Versatile adjustment options and intuitive operation High subjective feeling of safety Revolutionary technology Cost efficiency Patient Access - Quick, Safe, Comfortable Entry into and exit out of the PerPedes are achieved via the patient lift system within the crane, which can be operated either through the tablet computer or foot switches. This relieves the therapist from heavy lifting, allowing him to guide and support the patient in order to feel safer. Since the footplates are connected to the basis of the device, instead of feeling like they are floating, patients feel like they are standing safely on the ground. This not only leads to a higher subjective feeling of safety but also aligns perception with the reality of walking. Plantar Flexion - Natural Walking Motion During normal walking rear leg toes are pushed into the ground until a solid grip is achieved. This is followed by toe muscles moving the body forward. Reproducing plantar flexion during foot lifting as well as initial contact of the heel during foot placement are essential for replicating natural walking motion. PerPedes is the only gait rehabilitation device that can achieve both.
