automated gait trainer
Prodrobot Automated Gait Trainer is an active medical device designed for the rehabilitation of lower limbs of patients with gait dysfunctions.
Prodrobot presents a unique concept of approach to therapy. It is devoid of the treadmill, and at the same time allows for adjustable relief of the patient’s joints and reproduces the movement pattern in 6 joints. This allows you to get a variety of exercises under one structure. It is equipped with numerous regulations that allow it to be adapted to each patient individually. Operation is via the control panel and is very simple.
We have made big effort to be sure that therapy with Prodrobot is safe. However, keep in mind that the device is not suitable for all medical cases. In particular, please note the following contraindications:
Prodrobot is a class IIa medical device. As such, it is subject to the stringent requirements of international medical standards. In 2015, the product underwent tests to demonstrate compliance with medical standards. Both Prodrobot and Prodromus Ltd successfully completed the research and audit, which resulted in the obtaining of certificates, issued by a notified body TUV Rheinland.
From the beginning, great emphasis was placed on acquiring knowledge from experienced people in the field of physiotherapy, anatomy, biomechanics and neurology.
Cooperation was established with specialists in the field of control, measurement and drive systems.
The collected knowledge came from verified sources and was also verified many times during development and testing.
The construction uses materials and components of the highest quality. Some of them are successfully used even in the space industry.
The applied consistent philosophy in the field of design gave results in the form of intuitive operation, characteristic of modern and innovative devices.
Based on a retail risk analysis, a safe product was created for both, the patient and the therapist.
In everyday work with patients, Prodrobot confirms its effectiveness by intensifying the therapy and its effects. Small patients under the supervision of a therapist have the opportunity to perform a set of exercises unavailable to any device in the world.
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.
