QWalkbotIs there a feature that automatically stops the system if the patient experiences spasticity during
A
Yes, there is an emergency stop function that immediately halts training if the patient experiences sudden muscle spasms or spasticity, based on sensitivity settings customized for each patient. Safety is further enhanced by emergency stop buttons located within easy reach of the patient's hands, as well as a stop function that the therapist can activate via the control panel.
QWalkbotCan it detect the patient's gait and automatically adjust resistance and assistive torque?
A
Walkbot features an automated function that uses sensors to monitor the force exerted by the patient during training; it enhances training efficiency by increasing speed or resistance when the target level is exceeded, or by increasing support from the robotic modules when the patient's exerted force decreases.
QWalkbotCan it be used for patients with severe ankle contractures?
A
The Walkbot’s Ankle Joint Drive enables natural dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, and lateral adjustment, allowing for gait training even in patients with severe ankle contractures.
QWalkbotCan I try out the Walkbot at P&S Robotics?
A
Patients can experience the Walkbot at hospitals and rehabilitation centers where the system is installed. If a medical institution wishes to request a Walkbot demonstration, please submit a request via the "Contact Us" page on our website, and we will get in touch with you.
QWalkbotI would like to know if I am a patient who needs Walkbot training.
A
The Walkbot is suitable for patients across the entire spectrum of the Functional Ambulatory Category (FAC), ranging from level 0 to level 5. If you require gait rehabilitation robot training, please locate a hospital equipped with the Walkbot and consult with them.
QWalkbotWouldn't the training be affected by physical attributes such as height and weight?
A
Walkbot utilizes an algorithm—powered by the Natural Gait Pattern Generator (NGPG) function—to determine the optimal gait pattern based on the patient's physical dimensions, thereby providing the best possible gait rehabilitation training for patients of all body types.
QWalkbotHow much space is required to install Walkbot?
A
For the Walkbot_G/GK and Walkbot_S models, a space measuring 530 cm (width) x 300 cm (depth) x 265 cm (height) is required.
QWalkbotHow should the Walkbot be maintained on a regular basis?
A
For the harness jacket that comes into contact with the patient, spray a disinfectant—such as a diluted ethanol solution—focusing on the contact areas, allow it to air-dry at room temperature, and then reuse it. For other parts of the equipment that patients touch, such as the parallel bars, wipe them down using a dry towel dampened with a disinfectant like a diluted ethanol solution.
QWalkbotAre there height and weight limits for Walkbot training?
A
Generally, the system accommodates users up to 200 cm in height and 130 kg in weight. For users 135 cm or shorter, the system can be used with the pediatric module, provided the patient's shoes fit into the ankle module and the leg length is adjusted accordingly. Please consult with the attending medical team and our company to confirm suitability for a specific individual.
QWalkbotCan patients with conditions not listed in the Walkbot user manual undergo training?
A
For conditions not specified in the manual, suitability for training is determined based on the attending physician's assessment and prescription. Please contact us in advance so we can review the case with you.
