The driver of your health

MOTORE is a new portable robot developed by Humanware and conceived for upper limb rehabilitation: it is used for treatment of brain stroke patients or head injury patients and helps both the patient and the therapist to get the maximum output from the therapy. Benefits for the patient Motore bears the weight of the arm during treatment. It helps the patient to move or even prevents the movements in wrong directions according to the patient’s need. While the patient is playing enthusing games, the audio-visual feedback and the force feedback effectively stimulate his/her brain. A therapy...

Clinical studies demonstrated the effectiveness of robotic rehabilitation. Motore is a unique autonomous mobile robot able to sense and react to the force exerted by the patient; with this feature the device can guess the patient’s intention and react with a proper force for a better functional recovery. A software suite with several exercises and parameters is a powerful tool for the therapist to easily refine the rehabilitation protocol to match the patient’s needs. The measurement of force, acceleration and speed at any given time allows the robot to automatically adapt its behaviour...

The software suite includes games to train sensory-motor control, cognitive games and daily activities simulations for functional recovery. The software also includes data analysis and visualisation of the values recorded during the training: the evaluation results are calculated and recorded at the end of each exercise and can be retrieved at any moment from the patients’ database. The progresses can be monitored and evaluated. The range of motion and the forces are assessed with specific exercises and the major assessment scales are integrated in the software. MOTORE is used for: •...
