▲ Trunk Stabilization Rehabilitation Robot 3DBT-33

The trunk stabilization rehabilitation robot (3DBT-33) was designed for stroke hemiplegic patients, and as such, stability training is possible in the sitting position by playing games using the weight sensors that are attached to the chair, and by using the left and right buttons. It is also possible to use the weight sensors at the footrest to move the center of gravity to perform leg strength training. The tilting chair can be used to strengthen and rehabilitate leg muscles and perform stand up training. The maximum weight it can support is 140kg. The Trunk Stability Robot has shown in clinical results to improve cognitive ability.

▲ Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robot 3DBT-61

The Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robot (3DBT-61) was designed for active and passive upper limb rehabilitation exercises while in a sitting position through the use of a robot arm attached to the upper limb robot. Patients who use this need rehabilitation of the upper extremities (arms and shoulders). This medical device that can rehabilitate the affected area through controlled step-by-step resistance training games by using the robot arm. Horizontal plane, slope plane, and vertical plane training are possible as are active, manual, resistance, and auxiliary training, with individual training settings also available. The arm height can be adjusted and real-time feedback and remote support are available. The device consists of a body, monitor, keyboard, arm support, game content, and a program, which allows the patient to have some enjoyment during the rehabilitation exercises.

▲ 3D Balance Trainer 3DBT-12

The 3D Balance Trainer (3DBT-12) is a rehabilitation system that improves physical condition by performing horizontal center of gravity movement and vertical bending training for underarm rehabilitation patients. It measures the difference of the left and right loads, measures the degree of bending of the knee and evaluates the body balance of the patient. As a result, the accumulated data can provide a window into the improvement of the body. All of the training centers on games, which increases the effectiveness of the treatment, as it allows the patient to have fun while actively participating in the treatment. The maximum weight it will support is 140kg, and the joint motion angle is -70 degrees to +70 degrees.

▲Spinal Rehabilitation Trainer 3DBT-73

The spinal rehabilitation trainer (3DBT-73) is a manual function recovery device for patients who need spinal rehabilitation exercise. It is a rehabilitation treatment designed to optimize spinal rehabilitation by evaluating the function of spinal rehabilitation patients. It measures the degree of the spinal cord injury (rehabilitation) to set the rehabilitation training games for active spinal rehabilitation.

The Standing Balance Trainer (3DBT-25) induces muscular strength exercises by inducing body imbalance with manual exercises for patients who need lower limb training. It is possible to induce unbalance of the patient by sliding the upper plate support and the knee guard on the left and right. The height of the upper plate support and the seat belt can be adjusted electrically by remote control. There is a knee guard and a seat belt to prevent falls.

The Trainers for Seniors consist of the SBT-110 (trainer) / MS-110 (exercise machine) and SBT-220 (trainer) / MS-220 (exercise machine).
