Hocoma a leading company in robotic rehabilitation therapy for neurological movement disorders is developing innovative therapy solutions working closely with leading clinics and research centers. Lokomat one of their products is successfully used with patients in clinics worldwide in the field of rehabilitation medicine. The Lokomat system, the first driven gait orthosis, is used for robotic treadmill training of neurological patients with movement disorders caused by stroke, spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease. The Lokomat Robotic Gait Orthosis is adjustable to the patient's anatomy. Hip width, length of upper and lower leg, size and position of the leg braces can be conveniently and individually adjusted to every adult. Specially designed leg braces prevent pressure sores during the training session. A user interface allows the therapist to easily operate the Lokomat and adjust training parameters to suit the individual patient's needs at any point during a training session. Patients in a wheelchair can be escorted on a ramp onto the treadmill and efficiently fit into the Lokomat. By making only minor adjustments, the Lokomat can be moved out of the way from the treadmill, making it possible to easily switch from automated to manual therapy.

Our latest innovation, the Pediatric Lokomat, provides intensive locomotion therapy now also for the treatment of small children with cerebral palsy or other neurological disorders such as stroke, spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury.
