Walkbot Rehabilitation robot that helps you walk in the right posture.

[Seoul, Korea/ KBS Broadcast] Rehabilitation training is very important for people with brain lesions or physical disabilities to walk properly.

Accurate rehabilitation training, which has been difficult even with the help of 3 to 4 physical therapists, is now possible thanks to the robot.

Reporter Kim Ki-heung covered it.

Walkbot Rehabilitation robot that helps you walk in the right posture.

[Ki-heung Kim/ Reporter] Young-Jin, a high school student who was born with a spinal disorder and can’t walk on his own, is dreaming of walking properly in 17 years.

As the rehabilitation training with the help of robots, the expectation that I can now walk has grown.

[Young-jin Hwang /Yongin city]: : “It’s amazing. I think it’s good because my feet are forward and I walk properly.”

This rehabilitation training robot can freely adjust the walking speed and stride length according to the body type and degree of disability.

Man’s walking motion is not simple. The hip, knee, and ankle joints interact and move in a complex structure.

Therefore, it is evaluated that such a robot is effective for rehabilitation, considering not only the hip and knee joints, but also the ankle joints.

Because of this, patients have only been able to walk 100 steps in 30 minutes even with the help of three physical therapists, but now they can walk 10 times as much.

For one spinal cord injury patient, walking time was reduced to 1/4 through 36 rehabilitation robot training sessions.

[Professor Seung-Hyun Yoo/ Department of Physical Therapy, Yonsei University]:: “There are a number of feedback advances that can give you walk accurately, change force, joint movement, speed and stimulate your senses.”

According to the Foreign clinical results, the possibility of independent walking is 2.4 times higher when robotic treatment is combined.

Foreign clinical results have shown that the possibility of self-walking is 2.4 times higher when robotic treatment is combined.

The rehabilitation robots distributed to 29 locations nationwide, including Seoul National University Hospital and Yongin Welfare Center for the Disabled, are giving precious dreams to people with disabilities who cannot walk.
