hirob borih save | economical | effective intelligent motion Worldwide the first solution for a save, economical and effective implementation of the automated hippotherapy for neurorehabilitation.

The complex three-dimensional movement of the horseback was analysed with a 3Dmotion capturing system and transferred onto the rehabilitation robot. This physiological motion pattern can be used for the automated therapy. The exact imitation of the horse‘s movement, a simple patient transfer as well as a massive cost reduction enables the wider use of this effective therapy for neurological patients, e.g. stroke patients, patients with head and brain injuries, patients with multiple sclerosis or children with cerebral paresis etc. The device is a class 2a medical product according to EU...

higher individualisation According to the patients’ state of convalescence including his or her day’s condition the intensity of the therapy must be adjusted. On the robot this is easily possible through a simple reduction or increase of the motion pattern. Furthermore also the motion pattern itself should be adjusted according to the patients’ individual requirements. For patients with multiple sclerosis it could be for instance a steady movement, but with incidentally generated changes of the pattern at the push of a button. If desired individual motion patterns for different symptoms or...

To provide evidence for the effectiveness of the robot-based therapy, a clinical trial with twelve patients with little trunk control of different aetiologies was conducted at the hospital Hochzirl from September to December 201 1 . The study had three phases each lasting three weeks. The first phase [baseline] consisted of conventional treatment in the hospital for three weeks. Phase two comprised add-on training with the hirob five times per week for 20 minutes each for another three weeks [intervention]. During the subsequent follow-up phase patients were treated conventionally in the...
