Able de Human Motion

Human Motion’s Able: Rehabilitation Otherwise

Lightweight and quick to adjust, the from the Spanish brand of the same name is designed to optimize freedom of movement. Designed for people with lower-limb paralysis, much like Cyberdyne’s HAL medical robotics system, this exoskeleton restores mobility and enables many people to walk again. Approved by leading clinical neurorehabilitation centers, this device is equipped with an inertial measurement unit to accurately detect the intention to walk. Are you worried? Let’s take a closer look.

Characteristics of a Person Capable of Movement

Weighing just 17 kg, the Able is lightweight and easy to adjust to fit any body type. Specially designed for people with lower-limb paralysis, this Spanish-made can be adjusted to fit you if you’re between 150 and 190 cm tall and weigh less than 100 kg.You won’t need any special tools to set it up, which is ideal if you need to quickly install it at a rehabilitation center or if you want to use it for personal use. In fact, setup takes just 6 minutes to maximize therapy time.To function, the motorized system works on the hips and knees to provide active assistance—specifically, to help you stand up, walk, turn around, and sit down. Its inertial drive system detects your intention to walk before synchronizing the device’s movements to achieve a natural gait, very close to human walking. This is its main advantage: the physiological approach helps retrain or rehabilitate the brain and muscles to walk again. When it comes to assistance with bending, it provides maneuverability, even in narrow spaces considered difficult. For additional trunk support and according to your needs, Able features modular straps. Safety in mind: The Able integrates VisionFence so that obstacles can be easily avoided, whether used indoors or outdoors. Finally, its design is the result of close collaboration between patients and clinics to ensure the best possible outcome. It is particularly well-suited for modern neurological rehabilitation. Able is indicated for gait rehabilitation to perform ambulatory functions in rehabilitation facilities under the supervision of a trained therapist.

Human trial

Thanks to its intuitive design, tailored to your needs, the results of the ability assessment demonstrate clinical improvement in tolerance for walking training. But they also show improvements in motor function and quality of life. Skill assessments and evaluations have also shown high user satisfaction compared to other devices of the same type. Indeed, Able Care reviews are very positive regarding the device’s ease of use and safety. Thanks to its real-time adaptive systems and the Able Care mobile app, therapists can precisely configure gait parameters in real time during sessions. The interaction between the robot and the mobile app allows for precise and responsive adjustments. This enhances safety by ensuring that the device meets specific and immediate needs. Finally, clinical trials of I-Able have not reported any serious incidents. On the contrary, gait stability and quality are described as above average, with a high degree of acceptance among therapists and patients. In summary, Human Power is a combination of lightness, advanced technology, and safety, much like the Phoenix SuitX. You can make a difference! Discover all our medical and rehabilitation products.
