AMBLE

説明

AMBLEはNextStep RoboticsのMedical-Robotsです。 医療アシスト、リハビリテーション向けに設計されています。

AMBLE is NextStep Robotics' wearable robotic ankle device for gait training in people with foot drop after stroke, and potentially other conditions such as spinal cord or traumatic brain injury. Unlike a passive ankle-foot orthosis, it gives graded, real-time robotic assistance to lift the foot that is adjusted on every step, so patients practise walking with the muscles that raise the ankle rather than relying on a brace. Clinicians fit it in under five minutes and the device adjusts automatically, leaving them free to run high-intensity gait training, while its software personalises therapy and tracks progress objectively. NextStep reports eight peer-reviewed studies and that 85% of patients stopped using an assistive device or ankle-foot orthosis after six weeks of AMBLE treatment; it is sold to rehabilitation clinics for use under therapist supervision.
