Russian Robots Help Children With Cerebral Palsy
A Breakthrough Rehabilitation System With No Direct Global Analogues
In Yekaterinburg, the Russian company Aspect Medical is developing a robotic rehabilitation system designed to help children with cerebral palsy (CP) as well as patients recovering from strokes or spinal injuries.
The innovative complex supports the patient in a horizontal position and controls the movement of the entire body, simulating both running and swimming motions to promote motor coordination and restore neuromuscular function.
A World-First Approach
Development began in 2016 and involved years of testing and certification to prove the system’s safety and effectiveness.
For Children and Adults
The device is intended not only for children with CP but also for patients with multiple sclerosis, limb amputations, and spinal injuries, helping maintain and restore motor activity.
By combining robotics, biomechanics, and rehabilitation science, Russian engineers and physicians are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in medical technology — creating solutions that could dramatically improve patients’ quality of life and strengthen Russia’s position in the global medtech industry.
