A NEW APPROACH TO MOBILIZATION Our VEMOTION® combines adjustable tilting with robot-assisted leg movement therapy in a safe environment. Uniquely, there is no need to transfer to a separate device as the patient can remain in their own bed. Secure and efficient early mobilization of the patient – VEMOTION® takes over the physically exhausting work of the nurse or therapist. Early Mobilization is part of the ABCDEF-bundle and is seen as one of the most important therapies in the prevention of negative effects of immobility. PATIENT-INITIATED MOVEMENT THROUGH VEMOTION THERAPEUTICAL BACKGROUND Particularly large functional improvements are shown in the rehabilitation of neurological patients when the patients initiated the movements themselves. In comparison, rehabilitation therapies were significantly less successful when patients were only passively moved. Research shows self-initiation of the motor movement command is critical for functional improvements.* The Assist-As-Needed is the world‘s first robotic implementation of this therapy paradigm, which does not require any complex sensors such as EEG or EMG. A minimal movement of the patient is sufficient to achieve the desired complete range of motion in a robotically assisted manner. ADVANTAGES OF VEMOTION® The VEMOTION® solves the problem of large-scale implementation of Very Early Mobilization in critical care by bringing robot-assisted mobilization to the patient. The unique usability of the VEMOTION® allows one person to perform early mobilization therapy even with severely affected patients.
