Problem
Rehabilitation therapy for upper extremity injuries, particularly those affecting the shoulder, often requires high repetition and can place significant physical strain on therapists. Traditional methods may also limit the range of motion and precision achievable during these exercises.
Solution
Harmonic Bionics offers the Harmony SHR, a bilateral robotic rehabilitation system designed to enhance upper extremity therapy. The system utilizes biomechanically matched shoulder designs that mimic the natural scapulohumeral rhythm, enabling comprehensive and natural arm and shoulder therapy. High-fidelity sensors provide precise tracking and control of movements, allowing for a greater number of repetitions with reduced physical burden on therapists. The Harmony SHR aims to improve patient outcomes by facilitating a wider range of motion and more consistent, repeatable exercises during rehabilitation sessions.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes physical therapists, occupational therapists, rehabilitation centers, and hospitals specializing in neurological and orthopedic rehabilitation.
