The ARM is a robot developed from studies and rehabilitation treatments in the field of Physiotherapy and represents a more efficient alternative for patients who, after a stroke, have totally or partially lost movement and neurological function in their upper limbs.
The ARM robot provides patients with a new experience for their recovery through games with playful challenges. There are several digital games, assisted or not by the robot, that encourage consistency and overcoming challenges. Unlike imported robots, the ARM has a more accessible price, is lighter than similar models, and has a compact design. Therefore, the ARM is a completely viable product for clinics and hospitals of all sizes, both private and public.
How does it work?
The ARM (Air-Mounted Rehabilitation Machine) functions as an alternative to traditional therapies, allowing the patient to exercise while playing games. Through a robotic arm (for upper limb movement) and a pedal (for lower limb movement), the patient receives motor assistance to perform functional movements in a three-dimensional space, with content that simulates everyday activities.
The movements are prescribed by therapists, and the playful environment motivates and encourages the patient to perform a greater number of movements, reducing treatment time. The robot generates customized performance graphs with parameters of force, trajectory, and speed.
For greater comfort during sessions, one of the advantages of ARM is that it can be used not only in hospitals and clinics, but also in patients' homes.
