Research projects
2022 – 2023 DIH-HERO: GAITREHAB
This European research project focuses on alternative treatment options in physiotherapeutic rehabilitation after orthopedic surgery in hospitals during a pandemic. Among other things, the aim is to measure the benefit of the world's first mobile robot for autonomous gait training on crutches in pandemic situations.This European research project aims to develop the world's first mobile robot for autonomous gait training on crutches to address pandemic and post-pandemic challenges in orthopedic rehabilitation.
The study will be conducted at four major European acute care and rehabilitation clinics.
2019 – 2020 ROSMON
In this research project, the commercialization of an innovative robotic solution for monitoring the rehabilitation process of patients was to be outlined. In this context, the recording and evaluation of subjects' movement data took place automatically during and outside treatments as well as at home using a smartwatch.
2016 – 2019 ROGER
The aim of the project was to develop a personal training robot for personalized gait exercises for patients undergoing orthopedic surgery on the foot, knee or hip in inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation.
