Dynamic Support for Real-World Movement

The FLOAT is a robotic 3D body weight support system that allows for unrestrictive, multi-directional movement, empowering therapists to safely simulate real-world activities for both pediatric and adult patients.

Safety Features

  • 4 Independent Cables

    Four independent cables ensure a new level of stability and safety, allowing for highly accurate control over every movement.

  • Robotic 3D Body Weight Support

    The robotic system smoothly tracks the patient's every move, enabling versatile, multi-directional training with true freedom of movement.

  • Advanced Fall Protection

    By constantly monitoring vertical movement, the advanced fall protection system proactively prevents falls, giving both patients and therapists greater confidence.

User Friendly

Efficient Single-Therapist Operation

An intuitive setup and streamlined workflow enable one therapist to safely manage a session that would traditionally require two or more therapists.

Remote Options

Options such as touch displays on walls and a remote allowing the therapist to focus on the patient and not on handling the system.

Training Features

The system allows horizontal forces that can be adjusted and applied at different angles for postural control, as an assistive force, and to improve movement quality in all directions.

The system’s targeted Horizontal Force and Damping, that is applied longitudinally and/or laterally and can be used to challenge neuromuscular control for effective resistance training.

The robotic system uses Impulses to apply controlled perturbations. These dynamic forces vary in strength, angle, and duration to safely simulate real-world balance challenges for reactive balance and stabilization.

The FLOAT’s dynamic body weight support and Horizontal Force allows to safely increase walking speed and build endurance. Built-in, validated assessments such as the 10 meter walk test and 6 minute walk test provide therapists with objective data to measure and track patient progress.

Interactive Virtual Reality

6 Goal-Oriented Exercises

Features a suite of engaging, task-specific exercises designed to accelerate motor learning and functional recovery.

Progressive Difficulty Levels

Therapists can select from multiple difficulty levels within each exercise, allowing them to tailor the challenge and ensure patients are always training at the optimal intensity for their current ability.

Real-Time Feedback

Provides immediate visual and auditory cues on performance to reinforce correct movements and accelerate motor learning.

FAQ

2D system limits multidirectional movement to a linear path. This limits exercises like complex turns, curved paths, perturbations, and more.

3D allows for unrestrictive multi-directional movement. This allow for real world simulation for activities of daily living (ADL) such as stair climbing, kitchen simulation, and navigating around obstacles.

The FLOAT is a robotic 3D body support system that offers unparalleled control and versatility for both pediatric and adult patients. Unlike single-point crane-like systems, the FLOAT’s advanced 4-independent cable system provides precise, multi-directional support. This allows therapists to apply specific Horizontal Forces like guiding a puppet’s strings, for interventions including postural control, balance, and strengthening exercises.

This precision enables training for complex gait and real-world simulation for activities of daily living (ADLs).

Additionally, with its optional integrated VR experiences, therapy becomes more immersive and motivating, further accelerating motor learning and patient engagement.
