Regen is a robot-assisted device designed to help therapists and improve the quality of treatment. It works by replicating the movement of the therapist and providing assistance as needed for the patient. This study aims to assess the safety, feasibility, usability, and ability to Regen to replicate the movement pattern of therapist in young healthy adults during treadmill walking.
Physical therapy, despite its effectiveness, is a physically demanding profession that requires moderate to high physical and psychological work demands. A single session typically lasts close to an hour per patient, with a substantial portion dedicated to hands-on rehabilitation therapy, excluding assessment. Long sessions, repetitive manual motions, and awkward postures contribute to fatigue, risk of musculoskeletal strain, and limited treatment duration. One of such physically demanding tasks in rehabilitation is gait training, which often requires therapists to provide continuous manual a…
