Besides providing comprehensive care to traumatic as well as non-traumatic spinal cord injury patients, we have a strong focus in investigating novel therapeutic approaches to improve their quality of life and independence beyond the current state of the art. A close cooperation with Hocoma exists since the company has been founded. The Heidelberg University Hospital has participated in the first clinical trial showing the efficacy of the Lokomat and contributed to the development of the Erigo and its clinical evaluation.

Hocoma collaborates with Prof. Clemens Becker, Chief Medical Officer for geriatric rehabilitation and leading international expert on fall prevention. A joint multi-center trial with BGU Hospitals, one of the largest trauma treatment center chains in Germany, is currently investigating the use of ArmeoSpring to help orthopedic patients regain arm function after shoulder fractures caused by elderly falls.

With its science, MIRA sets standards in the field of new technology for healthcare.
Moreover, it brings those new technologies to the market, effectively stimulating change, renewal and progress in clinical applications. MIRA is the only scientific organization in Europe that holds fundamental, applied and clinical chairs. The ArmeoBoom was developed based on a research prototype developed by scientists of MIRA and in close collaboration with therapists, clinicians and researchers from the Roessingh Research and Development. The aim of the development was to provide a lightweight and movable therapy platform for patients with mild to moderate upper extremity impairments, allowing free movements in a large workspace supported by an arm weight support system with little inertia. In close collaboration between the involved centres, the ArmeoBoom will be clinically tested in a Dutch national multicentre trial.

The further development of the Lokomat system is being attended together with clinical research at Balgrist University Hospital. In this way, there is a guarantee that the requirements and experience of the customers - i.e. the patients, therapists and hospitals - are included in the development.

ETH Zurich is place of study, research and work for approximately 20,000 people from 80 different nations. About 500 professorships in 16 departments are responsible for high-quality research and teaching in the fields of technical, mathematical and natural sciences. In the ArmeoSenso project, funded by the Swiss government Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI), Hocoma has collaborated with the Rehabilitation Engineering Lab (ReLab) of ETH Professor Roger Gassert, to develop and clinically evaluate a prototype of a sensor-based arm rehabilitation system for stroke patients using low-cost inertial measurement units (IMUs).
The lessons learned during this project are now being deployed to develop a future generation of Armeo products.
