Robotic Assisted Rehabilitation

Following a successful trial, a number of our hospitals have invested in a range of robotic and computer-assisted therapy devices.

The highly anticipated, evidenced-based robotic-assisted therapy supplements conventional rehabilitation therapy by increasing the number of repetitions during rehab, for positive patient gains.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is robotic-assisted therapy / robotic rehabilitation?

Robotic-assisted therapy utilises computer-assisted therapy devices, software and applications to provide patients with intensive rehabilitation that engages them physically and cognitively.

Robotic rehabilitation successfully blends principles of rehabilitation with robotics, virtual reality and gamification, engaging patients with the three components of robotic assisted therapy – intensity, dose and motivation.

Who does robotic-assisted rehabilitation help?

Whether stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinsons or Multiple Sclerosis; our sensory robotic rehabilitation devices can be applied with a variety of symptoms to improve and enhance recovery.

Robotic assisted therapy focuses on the following:

• Finger and hand therapy
• Cognition and visual scanning
• Balance
• Gait analysis
• Upper limb and lower limb function

Robotic-assisted rehabilitation helps therapists and patients to do the right things at the right time, regardless of location, indication and phase of rehabilitation.

The benefits of robotic assisted therapy

Patients using robotic-assisted therapy have seen improvement in patient functional deficit resulting from stroke, traumatic brain injury, MS, Parkinsons and, musculoskeletal and spinal conditions.

There are numerous benefits to utilising robotic-assisted therapy in your road to rehabilitation:

• Allows you to build on the foundations of traditional rehabilitation
• Increase in repetition of movement, compared to traditional, is important in neuroplasticity and recovery.
• Provides more stimulus, more repetition and more rehab therapy time for patients
• Devices are user-friendly and provide instant feedback to help keep you motivated and engaged

How to add robotic-assisted therapy to your rehabilitation

Ask your general practitioner or specialist to refer you to one our hospitals near you that offers our Robotic Assisted Therapy Program.

The new robotics will be available to inpatients, day patients and outpatients, with those who are uninsured able to access a package of sessions, tailored to their individual needs.

Robotic-assisted rehabilitation is also available to patients under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and other funding schemes.
