Hand mobility rehabilitation system Bimeo PRO

arm mobilitycomputer-assisted

Overview Bimeo PRO is a sensor based rehabilitation device for post-stroke and other neurological patients. The patient is involved in a motivating virtual reality environment. Bimeo is designed to make therapy effective and motivating for patients and facilitating for therapists. Therapy with Bimeo goes one step beyond state-of-the-art methods in rehabilitation medicine. The patient is encouraged to use the more affected arm, supported by the movement of the less affected arm. The support is supervised and optimized through automatic therapy task adaptation. Therapy is augmented with activity-of-daily-living type exercises and cognitive tasks, while specific tasks are designed for objective motor function assessment. Physicians can easily track progress of the patient and adjust therapy difficulty according to the patient’s needs. Therapy is therefore more effective and the rehabilitation process shorter. Therapy modes Therapy with Bimeo PRO offers wide variety of modes. Different therapy modes require different therapeutic attachments. With help of a quick release mechanism, attachments can be easily exchanged and the new therapy can be started simply by a few clicks in a simple user interface. Bimanual mode Arms are coupled to provide necessary assistance or resistance during movement. The coupling of arms enables controlled movement of the more affected arm in free space and in gravity minimized position. It enables the assessment and evaluation of passive arm range of motion. Unimanual mode Therapy of the more affected arm in free space or gravity minimized position. It enables the assessment and evaluation of active arm range of motion.
