automated gait trainer
Automated Gait Trainer* is the active medical device designed for the rehabilitation of the lower limbs of patients with gait dysfunctions.
Prodrobot Magna is dedicated for:
– patients between 140 and 200 cm height,
– up to 130 kg weight,
Prodrobot is characterized by:
– automatic adjustment to the patient,
– propelled hip joints,
– patient body support,
– compact size,
– the ability to limit and modify ranges of lower limbs movement,
– multi-level electronic robot safety system: live measurements on controllers in joints.
Thanks to unique exercises set and increased intensity mobility of patient can be improved. Five exercises are available with adjustable speed and motion range fitted to the needs of the patient.
1. Gait – plays an anatomical walking pattern
2. Swings – execution of gait without bending the knees
3. Squats – at the same time both legs are moving with the knee flexion
4. Bicycle – simulating the movement of pedaling on a bicycle
5. Stairs – simulating walking upstairs
* The project is being implemented, the finished product will be presented soon.
Prodrobot Magna is a class IIa medical device. Therefore, it is subject to strict requirements set by international medical standards.
Like Prodrobot for children, it uses a gait pattern developed by experienced specialists in physiotherapy, anatomy, biomechanics and neurology.
Cooperation with people in the field of control, measurement and propulsion systems has allowed to gather relevant knowledge.
The highest quality materials and components are used for construction. Some of them are successfully used even in the space industry.
The applied coherent design philosophy gave results in the form of intuitive operation, characteristic of modern and innovative devices.
Based on risk analysis, a safe product was created for both the patient and therapist.
Patients under the guidance of a therapist have the option of performing a set of exercises not available for any device in the world. At the same time, the device is equipped with a number of security systems.
The Prodrobot device has a sitting assistant, the patient in a sitting position is fastened with a harness and fixing the limbs.
In Prodrobot Magna there is a ramp for wheelchairs and a harness that fastens in a sitting position. The crane lifts the patient to an upright position to match the other fixings.
ProdElViS can be used as a biofeedback application and can be fully adapted to many devices dedicated to gait re-education and improvement of gait functionality, such as exoskeletons, trainers, walkers.
The minimum requirements for system adaptation for other rehabilitation devices are:
ProdElvis works on Linux and Windows operating systems. The technical condition of the computer (i.e. processor, memory) only affect the smoothness of the application.
Feel free to follow our website and fanpage on Facebook. We try to inform you about open shows, workshops and fairs where Prodrobot takes part.
Moreover Prodrobot is available in several facilities in Poland under the conditions set by their owners.
With Prodrobot, the patient’s weight must not exceed 50 kg. Growth is limited primarily by the length of the limbs. This is due to the distance between the axis of the joints (ankle-knee, knee-hip), which should be between 29 and 37 cm for each pair of joints. This translates into a total patient height in the range of about 110 to 150 cm height. An important parameter is also the width of the hips, which can not howl more than 29 cm.
In contrast, Prodrobot Magna is adapted for patients between 140 and 200 cm height and weighing up to 130 kg.
Several exercises are available with adjustable intensity:
All exercises allow you to adjust the speed and motion range.
Prodrobot is powered by a single-phase 230V electricity, like most household electrical appliances.
It is important that Prodrobot works in a electricity network protected by a differential switch, which makes it safe and in accordance with the standards requirements.
Prodrobot is a compact unit. The width of the device is 88 cm, length 76 cm, height 117 cm in sitting position and 147 cm in standing position.
Prodrobot Magna is a larger device, but it still does not require placing in special rooms. Its dimensions are 119.6 cm wide, 134.5 cm long and 180.9 cm high at rest, and 280.9 cm high.
Prodrobot is about 160 kilograms.
For adults, i.e. patients over 140 cm height, Prodrobot Magna is dedicated – it will has the premiere in 2022.
Yes, the device is small and easy to use at home.
The robot’s operation is very simple and intuitive. Initial training is short and it is enough to use Prodrobot by yourself.
Prodrobot is a tool that can be used in a therapist’s hands in a passive and active way to a certain extent. When the patient is left alone and does not put effort into the training, you can certainly call it passive. When the therapist helps the patient to imitate the movement of the robot and stimulates the patient’s work to perform the correct movements, the therapy becomes active. The patient under the eye of the therapist puts a lot of effort into the training and Prodrobot only assists and watches over that each step will go to the ideal. The device continuously operates with invisible feedback system, which several times per second measures motion parameters and adjusts the power of the drives depending on how the patient affects on the orthoses.
