HOW DOES

LI-WALK

WORK

BIOFEEDBACK

The patient, stimulated by virtual reality and infrared rays, will respond with a variation in the operation of the robotic exoskeleton.

PATIENT PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

The computer analyzes the biofeedback and sends a command to adapt the operation of the robotic exoskeleton based on the response to the stimuli.

GATE CONTROL INTERACTION

The robotic exoskeleton adjusts operation in real-time based on the patient’s response.

Advanced Rehabilitation Technology:
Li-Walk’s Cutting-Edge Features

Li-Walk® is not just a robotic exoskeleton—it is a complete rehabilitation system designed to provide maximum efficiency, adaptability, and patient comfort. Through a combination of robotics, AI, infrared thermal stimulation, and immersive biofeedback, it optimizes rehabilitation for individuals with motor impairments.

Rapid Connection & Personalized Adaptation

One of the key innovations of Li-Walk® is its advanced quick-connect system, ensuring that each patient can be fitted with the exoskeleton with minimal preparation time. The device includes:

  • Motorized leg adjustments for precise calibration to individual patient morphology.
  • Automatic sliding guides that adapt in real-time to the patient’s femur and tibia size.
  • Optimized weight distribution for enhanced comfort and safety.

This results in a faster and more efficient therapy setup, making Li-Walk® an ideal choice for rehabilitation centers seeking to maximize patient throughput without compromising quality of care.

AI-Powered Gait Assistance & Biofeedback Integration

Li-Walk® leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and real-time gait analysis to ensure a highly personalized rehabilitation experience. Through kinematic sensors and AI-driven software, the system:

  • Analyzes patient movements in real time, adjusting the exoskeleton’s resistance and support accordingly.
  • Provides detailed feedback to therapists, allowing for customized rehabilitation strategies.
  • Enhances neuromuscular learning through repetitive, controlled movement patterns.

The integration of infrared thermal stimulation further enhances the rehabilitation process by warming up muscles and stimulating nerve activity, allowing for more effective and comfortable therapy sessions.

Infrared Thermal Stimulation

One of the most groundbreaking aspects of Li-Walk® is its infrared thermal stimulation technology, designed to activate neural pathways, promote muscle recovery, and enhance motor function.

How Infrared Thermal Stimulation Works

Infrared rays are used to target thermoreceptors in the skin, triggering a neurophysiological response that facilitates motor recovery. The therapy includes three customizable stimulation modes, tailored to different levels of motor impairment:

Impulse Stimulation
(Low Residual Capacity)

  • Immediate heating upon muscle activation, encouraging initial movement attempts.
  • Ideal for patients with severe motor limitations, such as post-stroke individuals.

Pulsed Stimulation
(Moderate Residual Capacity)

  • Alternates heating cycles based on applied force, ensuring deep muscle warming while allowing skin cooling.
  • Helps reduce muscle stiffness and enhance coordination.

Gradual Stimulation
(High Residual Capacity)

  • Increases heat intensity progressively with patient effort.
  • Promotes fine motor control and muscular endurance for advanced rehabilitation stages.
