CLINICAL EVIDENCE
CLINICAL STUDIES WITH THE EXOSKELETON
To date, 4 clinical studies have been conducted with the ATLAS 2030 exoskeleton and 3 clinical studies with the MAK ACTIVE KNEE
This document brings together studies and analyses that support the efficacy and benefits of our ATLAS 2030 and MAK ACTIVE KNEE devices. If you are interested in receiving this dossier, please complete the form below:
THE EXPERTS SAY
-
The physical improvements were clearer to us that they were going to happen and they are happening, but we are seeing very important psychological, emotional and participation benefits. The children are more willing to communicate because we are allowing them in a safe and correct position to explore the environment.
-
The exoskeleton is a robotic device that offers many possibilities for both patients and us specialists, who can use it for gait therapy regardless of the child's thoracic control or cognitive level. Leer más
-
Above all, we are improving the social side. After 3 years without being able to get up, thanks to this exoskeleton he was able to get up and play.
-
The acquisition of the Atlas 2030 means being able to offer the smallest patients all the advantages of neurorehabilitation in bipedal position that until now could not be offered to them. It represents a qualitative leap in the rehabilitation of the youngest patients affected by cerebral palsy. Leer más
-
The advantage of using this device on knee replacements is early mobilisation, which is painless and will improve healing, inflammation, joint balance and muscle strength. Leer más
-
The limitations of the device are few, although it is true that there are some inclusion criteria, but compared to other exoskeletons on the market, there are very few indications required to use it.
-
There are many respiratory, digestive and joint benefits, as well as helping to prevent future pathologies or reduce their severity.
-
The device enables early, highly functional and motivating treatment for the patient. In addition, it facilitates neurons to "learn by seeing", promotes the reordering of neural circuits and strengthens weakened muscles to train safer walking patterns to achieve functional independence. Leer más
-
In conventional treatment, physiotherapists always have to be adjusting the child and the exoskeleton allows us to work without having to do that kind of functions. Leer más
-
The children are gaining head and trunk control, cognitively they are more awake, much more receptive and participative during the session. But above all, they are very excited during the therapy. Leer más
