Rehabilitation Support

Rehabilitation wearable robot · reduced muscle strength · training

When muscle strength declines, raising an arm or walking becomes difficult in itself. As light as clothing, Bionic Suit — a 3rd-generation textile wearable robot — assists these motions to support rehabilitation training and independence in daily life.

57%+ Shoulder range-of-motion improvement — SNUH clinical trial, muscular dystrophy patients

Challenges on Site

• Reduced muscle strength makes everyday arm elevation difficult
• Repetitive rehabilitation training requires assisting personnel
• Existing assistive devices are heavy and bulky, so they are hard to use day to day
• If a device is cumbersome to put on, training is hard to sustain
