Supporting the recovery of arm and hand functionality. Self initiated repetitive arm and hand therapy in an extensive 3D workspace.

Advantages for our patients

1. Self-Initiated Movement Therapy: By providing arm weight support, the ArmeoSpring enables our patients to use any remaining motor functions and encourages them to achieve a higher number of reach and grasp movements based on specific therapy goals.
2. Simultaneous Arm and Hand Therapy in a 3D Workspace: The ArmeoSpring allows simultaneous arm and hand training in an extensive 3D workspace with six degrees of freedom. This enables our patients to practice the movements important for their therapy progress and daily life.
3. Ergonomic Exoskeleton: The ergonomic and adjustable exoskeleton of the ArmeoSpring embraces the whole arm, from shoulder to hand, and counterbalances the weight of the patient’s arm.Built-in sensors record the active movements and all joint angles during the therapy session.
4. Motivating Exercises: An extensive library of motivating game-like Augmented Performance Feedback exercises has been designed to train core movement patterns that are commonly used in activities of daily living. Immediate performance feedback motivates patients and helps to improve their motor abilities, leading to more independence in daily routine and therefore better quality of life.
5. Increased Therapy Efficiency: The ArmeoSpring enables therapists to deliver higher training efficiency (more hours per day) thanks to self-directed therapy, which may lead to better long-term outcomes. This is possible by reducing the need for continuous therapeutic guidance. Furthermore, self-directed therapy enables patients to reach an even higher therapy intensity through extra training during after-hours and weekends.
6. Objective Patient Assessments: The ArmeoSpring precisely records how our patients perform during their therapy sessions. Standardized Assessment Tools evaluate the sensor data of the device to investigate specific patient function, including movement ranges. The results can be used to analyze and document the patient’s state and therapy progress in order to further optimize therapy.
