Robotic Assisted Therapy
At Toronto Private Hospital our focus is on innovation. We seek opportunities to integrate the latest technology into our programs, so that our patients achieve outcomes far beyond the industry standard.
The highly anticipated, evidenced-based robotic therapy supplements conventional rehabilitation therapy by increasing the number of repetitions during rehab, for positive patient gains.
Whether Stroke, spinal cord injury, accident, Parkinson's , Multiple Sclerosis disabilities; robotic assisted rehabilitation devices can be applied with a variety of symptoms utilised to improve and enhance recovery.
Intensity, dose and motivation are the three components of robotic assisted rehabilitation- three components which are required to be able to achieve the best possible therapeutic results within the shortest time, in a goal-orientated and motivated manner.
Robotic assisted rehabilitation helps therapists and patients to do the right things at the right time, regardless of location, indication and phase of rehabilitation.
Robotic Assisted Therapy
Robotic assisted rehabilitation is used in conjunction with conventional therapies and integrated into existing inpatient and day therapy programs at Toronto Private Hospital.
Meet our robotic-assisted rehab heroes
PABLO® Upper Limb & Lower Limb
PABLO® Gait, our sensor-based gait analysis and training system, precisely measures and tracks parameters that are critical for the proper selection of the most effective gait therapy.
OMEGO® Plus
The OMEGO® Plus allows you to go where no other robotic lower extremity therapy device can. The multifunctional chair provides nearly limitless variability for limited lower limb function movement therapy.
Please contact our rehab team for more information on how these devices can assist you with your rehabilitation goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does robotic assisted therapy mean for my rehabilitation?
Robotic assisted therapy broadens the daily therapeutic routine of rehabilitation by training more intensively. It allows you to build on the foundations of traditional rehabilitation, develop ambition, achieve your goals and enjoy therapy.
What are patients saying about robotic assisted therapy?
Toronto Private Hospital Allied Health Manager said the results and feedback from patients who have trailed the robotics technology has been overwhelmingly positive.
"One of Toronto's young stroke survivors said she felt she completed her exercises much more comprehensively on the devices than she did in traditional therapy sessions and we had a patient with multiple sclerosis tell us she felt significant benefit from the couple of weeks of the trial," she said.
"Evidence shows repetition aids recovery and, across the board, patients find the robotics not only challenges but engages them to keep working towards their goals, with gaming and virtual reality incorporated to aid in motivation."
How to access the program
Ask your General Practitioner or Specialist to refer you to our program.
The new robotics will be available to inpatients, day patients and outpatients, with those who are uninsured able to access a package of sessions, tailored to their individual needs.
Robotic therapy is also available to patients under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and other funding schemes.
