Principal Electrical Engineer at Interactive Motion Technologies, Inc - Watertown Town, MA, us
Providing advanced robotic solutions for patients with neurological conditions. State of The Art Robotic Therapy InMotion Robots are the result of groundbreaking medical engineering research at the Newman Laboratory for Biomechanics and Human Rehabilitation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Our evidence- based system is unique in the industry and has been tested by leading medical centers worldwide for 10 years in over 40 studies with over 400 patients. Technology The InMotion Robot's exceptional capacity for measurement and immediate interactive response sets it apart from other therapy systems. The InMotion assesses the patient's movement and responds to a patient's continually-changing ability. Like an experienced clinician the robot then guides the exercise treatment accordingly: • If the patient is unable to move, the robot gently assists the patient to initiate movement towards the target. • If coordination is a problem, the robot "guides" the movement, allowing the patient to move towards the target and making certain that the patient is practicing the movement the correct way. • As the patient gains movement control, the robot provides less assistance and continually challenges the patient . • Provides quantifiable feedback on progress and performance .
