HexaRehab is device for the rehabilitation of lower limbs, designed to be operated remotely. It is especially indicated for people with mobility problems, such as those who have suffered injuries or surgeries, and elderly people who need physical therapy to improve their quality of life. It uses a Stewart platform, a robotic structure based on a parallel mechanism, which allows controlled and precise movements in multiple directions.
HexaRehab uses a Stewart platform, which is a robotic structure based on a parallel system composed of multiple actuators. This platform allows complex and controlled movements in several directions, which is ideal for rehabilitation exercises. In addition, the system incorporates advanced controllers based on artificial intelligence, which optimize movements according to the patient's needs, providing a personalized therapeutic experience.
• The device offers an alternative to traditional rehabilitation, providing robotic assistance to perform controlled and repetitive exercises.
• HexaRehab acts as a complementary tool for physical therapists and healthcare professionals, allowing them to focus their efforts on designing personalized therapy programs while the device performs the repetitive exercises in an automated manner.
• Healthcare facilities can choose to purchase the device for long-term use or rent it based on their needs, facilitating access to this advanced technology without committing to large initial investments.
HexaRehab's design will allow it to be used in hospitals, clinics and rehabilitation centres, where it can be integrated as part of existing treatments:
• It improves the effectiveness of manual rehabilitation by providing additional robotic support.
• It enables monitoring of patient progress in real time, allowing immediate adjustments to therapy programs.
Rehabilitation in Isolated Sites:
• Thanks to its ability to be operated remotely, the device is ideal for providing rehabilitation in hard-to-reach areas, such as rural areas or places where medical services are limited.
• It allows patients to receive quality physical therapy without having to travel long distances.
• In 2021, 10% of the population over 65 years of age had a significant risk of falls and lower limb injuries due to loss of mobility.
• By 2050, this percentage is estimated to increase to 16.7%, representing a major challenge for health systems and an increase in demand for rehabilitation services.
• The increased risk of falls implies an increase in lower limb injuries, which underlines the need for devices such as HexaRehab to mitigate these problems and improve the quality of life of older people.
