Hocoma
Hocoma is a major provider of robotic and sensor-based solutions for functional movement therapy. Its core products include the Lokomat, a robotic gait trainer that automates treadmill training for neurological patients, the Erigo for early mobilization in upright positioning, and the Andago for overground gait training. These systems are used in clinical settings for rehabilitation […]
Tyromotion
Tyromotion develops specialized robotic and sensor-based equipment for neurological rehabilitation. Its product line features the Amadeo (finger/hand rehabilitation), Diego (bilateral arm rehabilitation), Lexo (robotic gait trainer), and Omego (lower limb functional therapy). The systems are designed for patients across the continuum of care, from acute phase to home-based therapy.
Reha Technology
Reha Technology focuses on advanced robotic systems for neurorehabilitation. Their flagship G-EO System is an end-effector based robotic gait trainer that can simulate various walking scenarios, including stair climbing and descending. It is designed to assist patients in reclaiming mobility after stroke, TBI, or other neurological impairments.
BAMA Teknoloji
BAMA Teknoloji manufactures robotic rehabilitation systems. Their RoboGait system is a robotic-assisted gait therapy system that utilizes a powered exoskeleton and treadmill to retrain walking patterns in neurologically impaired patients. They also develop wearable robotic devices for clinical use.
Honda
Honda developed the Walking Assist Device for gait rehabilitation. The hip-powered system assists users in improving stride length and walking speed. The technology is informed by Honda’s research into bipedal robotics.
Panasonic
Panasonic conducts corporate research into ‘power assist’ technologies for logistics and healthcare. While specialized commercial exoskeleton activities were historically concentrated in its subsidiary ATOUN, the parent company maintains R&D in fabric actuators and sensor-based human assistance.
Gloreha
Gloreha (Idrogenet) specializes in upper-limb rehabilitation robotics, specifically focusing on the hand. Their robotic gloves provide active and passive-assisted exercises for individuals with hand impairments resulting from neurological conditions such as stroke. The systems incorporate virtual reality to assist in the rehabilitation process.
ATOUN
ATOUN was a Panasonic-backed company that specialized in powered exoskeletons for heavy labor. Their Model Y back support system was utilized in logistics and baggage handling operations. The company’s technology has influenced subsequent developments in the sector.
Bionic Yantra
Bionic Yantra develops the Robotic Exoskeleton Assisted Rehabilitation System (REARS). The system is a powered lower-limb exoskeleton designed to assist patients with spinal cord injury and stroke during gait training. The company aims to increase access to advanced rehabilitation technology.
Seismic
Seismic develops ‘Powered Clothing’ that integrates robotic actuators and sensors into apparel. The system is designed to augment core strength and support posture for industrial workers and the aging population. The technology utilizes electromechanical actuators to assist with standing and movement.
