DESCRIPTION

Walkbot_S is a Medical-Robots from P&S Robotics. It is built for Medical-Assistance, Rehabilitation. Key figures: released 2011.

Walkbot_S is the adult model of P&S Robotics' Walkbot robot-assisted gait rehabilitation system. Launched in 2011, it trains patients who cannot walk normally after neurological injury to walk again on a treadmill with a robotic lower-limb exoskeleton and body weight support. All Walkbot models are treadmill-based exoskeleton gait trainers. They drive the hip, knee and ankle together with P&S's patented Ankle Joint Drive to prevent foot drag and unstable landing. Dynamic body weight support tracks the patient's vertical movement in real time. Impedance control uses a reaction torque observer instead of physical torque sensors to detect walking intent and adjust joint resistance. The Natural Gait Pattern Generator builds a patient-specific gait from height, weight, limb lengths and shoe size, and augmented-reality games and 3D gait analysis keep patients engaged and track progress. Walkbot is indicated for stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, Guillain-Barre syndrome, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease, and holds MFDS Class 3, US FDA and CE MDR approvals.
