Float
(project ref. number: PR19-RR-P2)
A robotic device for the upper limb and in particular for the shoulder, which allows to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the rehabilitation process of this part of the body. A system close to the needs of therapists, capable of performing complex exercises and returning analytical data on their execution for each patient.
Features and certifications
- Rehabilitation exercises for orthopedic patients
- Wide freedom of movement
- Possibility of rehabilitation while sitting, standing and bent over
- Weight of the exoskeleton not felt by the patient (through vertical weight compensation)
- Anthropometry measures covered (5th percentile woman - 95th percentile man)
- 5 active joints for the mobilization of the scapular and shoulder complex (gleno-humeral)
