Advanced robotics therapy uses robotic-assisted devices and programmable exoskeletons to deliver highly-repeatable, measurable and progressive rehabilitation for neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. At Back To Life, robotics complements clinician-led therapy to accelerate motor relearning, restore gait, improve strength and enable intensive task-specific training under close supervision.
Robots provide consistent movement guidance, adjustable assistance/resistance, objective performance metrics, and the ability to scale intensity safely. These features help patients with stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, complex orthopaedic recovery and chronic motor deficits to practise high-dose repetitions with real-time feedback and clinician oversight.
Wearable exosuits for retraining walking — allow variable assistance, speed control and precise gait patterning under therapist guidance.
Upper-limb robotics for repetitive reaching/grasping tasks, motor relearning, and hand function rehabilitation with haptic feedback.
Devices that move the patient's limb endpoints in precise trajectories — useful in early retraining when active control is limited.
Robotic platforms that perturb and assist balance tasks safely to improve postural control and fall risk reduction.
Stroke rehabilitation (subacute & chronic), spinal cord injury (ambulatory training), Parkinson's disease gait training, post-op orthopaedic motor retraining, severe deconditioning requiring graded assisted practice.
Unstable medical conditions, uncontrolled hypertension, severe cardiopulmonary compromise, active DVT, open wounds at device interface, uncontrolled spasticity without clinician plan. Individual screening required before robotic sessions.
Start with high assistance to normalise pattern, 15–20 min active practice, gradually reduce assistance and increase speed/steps across sessions. Combine with overground practice.
Robotic-assisted reaching/grasp tasks with haptic assistance, 20–30 min sessions, progressive challenge by increasing reach distance, resistance or task complexity, plus functional carryover tasks.
Short bouts (10–15 min) of controlled perturbations with robotic platform, combined with reactive step training and functional balance tasks.
Robotics therapy involves progressive intensity; expected outcomes include improved step count, gait symmetry, limb kinematics and functional independence over a course of repeated sessions. Informed consent covering risks, device limitations and realistic goals will be obtained before the first session.
Not everyone — suitability depends on medical stability, cognitive ability to follow instructions, skin integrity and specific rehab goals. Our clinicians screen individually and create personalised plans.
Depends on condition severity and goals. Typical courses range 8–24 sessions with frequent reassessment using objective metrics to guide progression.
