Robotic WalkLab - Lower Limb GAIT Training Rehabilitation System
Suitable for patient with
- Stroke and TBI
- Spinal Cord Injury (C&I)
- Cerebral Palsy
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Orthopedic conditions
- Parkinsons
Walnut Medical Robotic WalkLab with unweighing and synchronized treadmill
Robotic WalkLab is a high level of gait training platform that Improves gait outcomes, accelerate recovery and reduce cost of care through intensive, repetitive retraining of normal movement. This solution continuously engages the patient in a virtual reality environment, incorporating cognitive and motor challenges and providing instant feedback. The WalkLab includes active modes of therapy that guide and enhance participation during a range of gait events. The system guides the patient through the activation of the lower leg muscle with the correct timing and force while incorporating visual and audio feedback from sensors that detect lower limb kinematics and muscle activation levels throughout entire session.
Patient Benefit
- Neural retraining of natural gait pattern
- Objective outcomes show progress from session to session
- Various modes of operation
- Real-time audio and visual feedback
- Multiple clinical gait training modules including virtual reality-multitask and gait coordination training.
- Visual feedback provided by sensors
- Muscle resistance-spasticity
- No 3rd person intervention required.
Therapists Benefit
- Set up in less than 10 minutes
- Highly intuitive user interface
- Resistance-Spasticity measurement
- Visual display of foot loading pattern
- Efficient gait training – passive and active modes with biofeedback
- Earlier patient participation
Muscle Resistance Force Quantification
The Walnut Medical WalkLab allows monitoring of the actual muscle resistance forces (spasticity), that are applied by the patient’s lower limb muscles. Quantification of muscle resistance forces during different gait stages enables the therapist to normalize resistance by modifying various parameters i.e. treadmill speed, body weight
support, step size.
