Conditions Treated with Hocoma Lokomat, ArmeoPower, & Erigo

The three medical robot systems are designed to help people who have lost their ability to move their muscles. This loss of function may be caused by:

 

How Hocoma Robot Systems Works

Our neurology team at Dignity Health - St. Rose Dominican uses Hocoma devices to support you and to help your muscles regain muscle memory through movement. The Erigo allows your body to feel the natural sensations of being upright, which in turn, has a positive effect on your body overall. The Lokomat and ArmeoPower focus on regaining movement and strength.

Erigo

The Erigo is usually used in the early stages of therapy, as soon as rehabilitation is possible following injury or nervous system trauma. Our rehab team secures you on a specially designed tilt table, which gradually tilts you up into a standing position. While upright, the device moves the your feet and legs in a stepping motion.

Lokomat

When using the Lokomat, you wear a harness to stay upright and secure as you walk on a treadmill. Straps around the your legs connect to a robot frame and computer. The computer controls how the legs are moved and how quickly they step, mimicking a normal gait. The repetitive movement trains your brain and spinal cord to work together again and improves your ability to walk. 

ArmeoPower

The Armeo is strapped to one or both arms and, if necessary, the upper body. A robotic arm guides your arm through exercises and specific tasks. This retrains the brain and muscles to move in a coordinated manner. You and your therapists can choose more or less robotic assistance as you progress through treatment and gain more independence.
