The Lokomat®

by Hocoma

The Lokomat® is the world leading robotic rehabilitation device that offers highly intensive, physiologic training. The Lokomat® improves the therapy outcome by providing highly intensive, individualized training in a motivational environment of constant feedback.

Advantages of Lokomat® Therapy:

• Effective Rehabilitation Training
Robot-assisted therapy enables effective and intensive training to increase the strength of muscles and the range of motion of joints.

• Most Physiological Movement
The physiological movement of the lower extremities is ensured by the individually adjustable patient interface. Additionally, the hip and knee joint angles can be adjusted during training to the patient’s specific needs.

• Optimal Patient Challenge
During rehabilitation, patients need to be challenged. Therapists can help patients reach their goals by setting the training parameters according to their performance.

• Increased Efficiency
The Lokomat® allows therapists to focus on the patient and the actual therapy. It enhances staff efficiency and safety, leading to higher training intensity, more treatments per therapist, and consistent, superior patient care.

• State-of-the-Art Gait Rehabilitation
Patients are increasingly more informed about what the most effective and efficient therapy is, and they use this information to decide where to go for their rehabilitation.
