The Robotic-SNS project aims to transform rehabilitation in the National Health System (NHS) with the ABLE Exoskeleton: a lightweight, accessible and quick-to-fit robotic exoskeleton. Through artificial intelligence and a multicenter clinical trial, it seeks to improve the independence of patients with spinal cord injury, demonstrating both its efficacy and cost-effectiveness. A pioneering initiative towards a more inclusive and technologically advanced health care.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Current Rehabilitation in the NHS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Loss of mobility has a devastating impact on the quality of life of neurological patients, especially those who have suffered a spinal cord injury (SCI). For them, rehabilitation is not only a necessity, but a bridge to greater independence and community reintegration. However, the rehabilitation tools available in the National Health System (NHS) have hardly evolved in the last decades. Equipment such as parallel bars, standing devices and KAFOs, while fulfilling their basic function, do not take advantage of technological advances that could revolutionize the rehabilitation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Current Problem and the Limits of Traditional Rehabilitation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) has proven to be more effective than conventional therapies, its adoption has been limited by several factors: current devices cost more than 150,000 euros, weigh more than 30 kg, take more than 20 minutes to adjust from one patient to another, and are not properly adapted to the specific needs of each patient. This reality underscores the need to create more accessible, effective and efficient technologies for the public health system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABLE Human Motion solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taking into account the main problems of current solutions, ABLE Human Motion was born with the mission to democratize access to robotic exoskeletons. With this in mind, the ABLE Exoskeleton was created, a lightweight, quick-to-fit and accessible exoskeleton for neurorehabilitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
