Robot-assisted gait therapy is revolutionising neurological rehabilitation by helping patients who have suffered a stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease or other neurological disorders to relearn how to walk. An exoskeleton guides the leg movements precisely on a treadmill and adapts individually to stride length, speed, range of motion and level of support. The training is supplemented by visual feedback and playful elements that promote motivation and active participation.

The combination of a high repetition rate, physiologically correct gait pattern and intensive therapy measurably increases the success of rehabilitation while reducing the workload on therapeutic staff. Progress can be objectively recorded, analysed and used to optimise therapy – a clear advantage over conventional methods.

For such a system to function reliably, it requires intelligent electronics: precise motor controls, sensors for safety and feedback, and easy-to-use interfaces. This is exactly where Antrimon comes in. The company developed and manufactured central electronic components such as motor controller boards, pressure sensor integration, connection boxes for data and power transmission, and a display board including user guidance. Thanks to a high degree of vertical integration, experience in medical technology, and close cooperation with the customer, robust solutions suitable for series production were created that could be seamlessly integrated into the overall system.

Robotics, sensor technology and intelligent control enable a form of therapy that is not only medically effective, but also efficient, motivating and sustainable. With its technology, Antrimon is making a decisive contribution to helping people with neurological impairments regain their mobility step by step – in the truest sense of the word: technology that moves.
