Technologies used in robotic rehabilitation in Turkey offer remarkable advancements in patients' neurological and orthopedic rehabilitation processes. For example, Romatem Health Group, as one of the leading centers in this field, integrates world-class robotic systems into patient care and positions Turkey competitively at the international level with these innovations. These systems, which enable patients to regain functions such as walking, arm movement, balance, and muscle strength, stand out with their personalized programming and safe operating principles.
Primary Robotic Rehabilitation Devices Used at Romatem
1. Lokomat® (Hocoma AG – Switzerland)
Area of Use: Rehabilitation following walking disorders, paralysis, brain damage, and spinal cord injury.
Technical Specifications:
- It is a computer-controlled lower limb robot.
- The patient's stride length, walking speed, and weight support can be individually adjusted.
- The patient's performance is measured using a sensor-based biofeedback system, providing real-time data.
Role at Romatem: It is used to restore natural walking patterns in patients with paralysis and brain damage.
2. Armeo® (Hocoma AG)
Area of Use: Upper extremity (arm, hand, and shoulder) rehabilitation.
Technical Specifications:
- An arm robot with a robotic skeleton structure that supports the patient's arm movements.
- It offers motivational exercises with virtual reality (VR)-based game modules.
- The patient's progress is recorded in detail using motion sensors.
Role at Romatem: Used to restore arm and hand movement after stroke, brain damage, or spinal cord injury.
3. Erigo® (Hocoma AG)
Area of Use: Early mobilization of patients who have been bedridden for a long time or who have low muscle tone.
Technical Specifications:
- It offers vertical positioning and a robot-assisted pedaling system.
- It safely increases blood circulation and muscle activity.
- It is particularly preferred in early rehabilitation after intensive care.
Role at Romatem: Ensures the safe initiation of the mobilization process in bed following paralysis and trauma.
4. Robotic Arm and Neuroprosthetic Systems
Area of Use: Supporting muscle movements with electrical stimulation, especially in patients with paralysis.
Technical Specifications:
- Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) technology delivers electrical impulses to muscles at the right time.
- It helps to relearn nerve-muscle coordination.
Role at Romatem: It is applied to reactivate muscles and strengthen nerve communication.
Other Modern Technologies
Romatem integrates various technological methods into rehabilitation processes, not limiting itself to robotic devices alone:
- Spinal Decompression Systems: They provide effective results in the treatment of neck and lumbar disc herniation by reducing pressure on the spine.
- Electrotherapy and Ultrasound Devices: They contribute to rehabilitation with their muscle-relaxing effect and circulation-enhancing support.
- Hydrotherapy and Balance Platforms: Used for balance, coordination, and muscle control training.
These robotic rehabilitation systems used in Romatem hospitals across Turkey (particularly in Samsun, Kocaeli, Bursa, and Ataşehir centers) can be customized to patient needs, monitored with scientific data, and offer safety and effectiveness in line with international standards. Thanks to the integration of Lokomat®, Armeo®, Erigo®, and other robotic systems, high success rates are achieved in cases of stroke, brain damage, and orthopedic conditions, improving patients' quality of life. These developments demonstrate how important robotic rehabilitation will be in future healthcare services.
