Rehabilitation technology developed by Fourier Intelligence has won yet more recognition for its globally-significant innovation.
The ExoMotus M4, a lower limb exoskeleton, was awarded the Shanghai Design 100+ accolade.
The exoskeleton, a gait and body weight system, is the first and only product of its kind on the market with its own body weight supporting system.
The ExoMotus M4 will be launched into the Chinese market at the Shanghai GReAT 2021 annual summit at the end of July, and is expected to be unveiled in the international market in early 2022.
The latest recognition comes only shortly after Fourier Intelligence won four awards at the China International Medical Equipment (CMEF) Spring Expo, with two being given to its newly-revamped ArmMotusTM M2 Pro device.
The Shanghai Design 100+ awards recognise and promote the influence of designers in Shanghai, and covers innovation from over 30 industries.
Over 2.45million public online votes were cast in determining the winners, which were also determined through industry voices and key expert votes.
The ExoMotus M4 lower limb rehabilitation robot was acknowledged for its ergonomic and user-friendly design, which can achieve gait functional training and multiple mode evaluations.
The gait mechanical leg can provide the user with precise sensory input in the early stage of rehabilitation through repetitive walking and inhibit the formation of an abnormal gait pattern or learned non-use.
Early gait training on the ground enhances plantar activation and biofeedback, and dynamic balance and symmetrical weight-bearing assessments can be performed before and after training, which provides a quantitative reference for measuring the outcome and progress of gait training with this futuristic assistive technology.
In addition to having multiple training modes and adjustable parameters, having the additional balance assessment and training modules are the three main characteristics of this lower limb rehabilitation robot that is designed to empower gait training. Through this feature, users can have personalised rehabilitation training.
