Effects of robotic-assisted gait training on the central vascular health of individuals with spinal cord injury: A pilot study
A new paper has been published, led by the physiology team from the University of Winchester's Department of Sport, Exercise and Health and supported by Hobbs Rehabilitation on the effects of robotic-assisted gait training.
The research showed improvements in vascular health of people with spinal cord injury following robotic-assisted exercise with the EksoGT from EksoBionics.

We are so pleased to see our Tecnobody Solution at the neuro-rehab outpatient centre in Neurotherapy Worx. The centre, based near Wigan, started using the D-Wall at the beginning of the year and went on to include the Prokin 252, WalkerView, and Data Server devices. Clinic owner, Sarah Wilkinson's experience with the advanced motion tracking, analysis, and therapy programs of the D-Wall has led her to adopt additional solutions, such as the Prokin 252 for balance and proprioception, and the Walker View for gait assessment and training. This strategy is designed to motivate patients and supply valuable data to the physiotherapy team, potentially reducing recovery time.

We are so excited to share with you that this year marks the 15 year anniversary of Ectron and the services to neurological rehabilitation technology. Ectron has been recognised as the UK leader in the implementation of neurological rehabilitation robotic and sensor-based technology. As these new devices entered the UK market, it became a period of change that required leadership from key clinicians and Ectron is proud to have supported them in developing their business cases and new work practices. Ectron are proud to have worked with some of the UK’s leading and pioneering Neurological Rehabilitation Centres such as: Hospital of Neurology and Neurosurgery MOTIONrehab's Intensive Neurological Rehabilitation Centres Hobbs Rehabilitation Stoke Mandeville Spinal Injury Unit
