This exoskeleton helps stroke patients walk again

The Breakthrough

The development of the CORBYS gait rehabilitation system has the potential to revolutionize stroke rehabilitation. The system makes use of an exoskeleton that adapts and works with the patient to provide them with specialized and customized therapy according to their specific needs. What's more, operation of the system only requires the oversight of a single professional.

The machine has already helped many patients that have suffered serious trauma learn to walk again and regain their full range of movement.

The Implications

The CORBYS system uniquely applies  advancements in robotics and exoskeletons to the world of rehab. At its current stage, the system already improves the efficiency and effectiveness of the learning process for patients. It also allows therapists to customize and tailor their treatment more specifically to the needs and ability of the individual.
