Rehabilitation Support

Reduced muscle strength · rehabilitation training

When muscle strength declines, raising an arm or walking becomes difficult in itself. As light as clothing, the Bionic Suit assists these motions to support rehabilitation training and independence in daily life.

57%+ Shoulder range-of-motion improvement

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
