The G-EO1 is an advanced robot-assisted, end-effector device in gait rehabilitation. It is the only device that offers the unique feature of realistically simulating climbing stairs and can be operated by one therapist only.
Therapy Modes
Floor Walking
The G-EO floor walking movement, is generated according to motion capture data by D. Winter * and allows patients to regain their ability to walk in less time when compared to conventional therapy approaches. **
By offering a realistic simulation of a physiological gait pattern it allows patient to recover mobility and their independency in daily living.
The Active Mode allows the patient to self-initiate the gait simulation by overcoming a pre-selected resistance “threshold.” This mode encourages the patient to actively participate during the therapy session in order to maximize the therapeutic outcome.
The Active-Assistive Mode senses the patient’s efforts to overcome the pre-selected resistance threshold and then augments the patient’s effort during the initiation of their gait movement.
Stair Climbing
G-EO offers the unique feature of simulated stairs climbing (up and down). This is generated by motion capture data and calculated to be in accordance to the Blondel’s Rule for a Step of 18 cm (2xStep Rise+ Step Depth = 65 cm). This feature allows the possibility of a complete rehabilitation pathway towards full recovery and independency.
Partial Movement
G-EO has the unique feature of Partial Movements which allow isolating and generating specific phase of the gait cycle. Partial Movement can be seen as the “first steps” to take into the gait rehabilitation process or as a specific training over isolated movements.
