About this Content
Aims
To improve ambulation distance for neurological patients by 50% using Andago™, enhancing rehabilitation quality and therapist confidence.
Background
Neurological patients required moderate to maximal assistance, limiting ambulation and increasing safety risks.
Methods
Introduced the Andago™ for overground gait training, assessing patient progress and therapist feedback.
Results
Ambulation distances improved significantly, with patients achieving >50% increases compared to conventional training; therapist confidence improved.
Conclusion
Andago™ use significantly enhanced mobility outcomes and therapist confidence, supporting its wider adoption.
Lessons Learnt
Robotics like the Andago™ enable safer and more effective ambulation, reducing therapist fatigue.
