Hand and Arm Robot Armeo

The Armeo is a robotic system used in neuro-rehabilitation to help patients recover arm and hand function after stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury and other neurological conditions.

How It Works

The affected arm is supported in an ergonomic arm brace that offsets its weight, allowing patients with significant weakness to move against gravity and use whatever active movement they have. The system guides the arm through therapeutic movements and turns exercises into interactive, game-like tasks on a screen, giving immediate feedback and motivation.

Why It Helps

Recovery of arm and hand function depends on intensive, repetitive, task-specific practice that drives neuroplasticity. The Armeo allows far more repetitions than manual therapy, keeps patients engaged, and adapts the level of support and challenge as they improve. It also measures performance objectively, so progress can be tracked precisely.

Who Benefits

It is used across stages of recovery, from patients with very limited movement to those refining fine motor control. By combining weight support, meaningful practice and feedback, Armeo helps patients rebuild strength, coordination and confidence in using the arm and hand for everyday activities, as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation programme.
