DESCRIPTION

Power Assist Wrist rewrist is a Medical-Robots from LAP Co., Ltd.. It is built for Rehabilitation.

The Power Assist Wrist 'rewrist' is LAP's wrist rehabilitation-assist robot, co-developed with Densan Co., Ltd., which flexes and extends a paralysed wrist with air pressure so that people with hemiplegia can keep training wrist function at home when hospital therapy time is limited. The forearm rests on a padded base under a strap while the hand holds a grip that the device moves. LAP offers it for sale or monthly rental to make self-training at home easier to start. Air is pumped by a control box into bellows on the device, which expand and contract to move the joint passively and rhythmically through repeated flexion and extension. A low-pressure pump keeps it from producing excessive force, and the strength is deliberately fixed rather than adjustable, because LAP says stronger forcing makes spastic, contracted joints tense up further. LAP sells and rents the devices, offers a free three-day trial or a two-week trial at half the monthly rental, and states that they are rehabilitation aids, not medical devices, and contain no lithium-ion batteries.
