Healthcare professionals who help patients each day with their physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises are going to get supported in a whole new way thanks to this new system that utilizes the KUKA LBR Med Robot.
The therapy system works by being brought into a patient's room and attached onto their legs before being activated by the physiotherapist. The machine is then shown by the operator the movement to perform before being allowed to operate independently to prevent the physiotherapist from needing to do all the heavy lifting themselves.
The rehabilitation therapy system with the KUKA LBR Med Robot was showcased by the company at Medica 2018 in Düsseldorf, Germany and identifies a glimpse of how the brand's robotic technology could revolutionize healthcare.
