SPINAL CORD INJURY
Improvement in Strength and Function
A pilot study of two patients with incomplete spinal injuries, level C4-6, that had occurred greater than two years ago, was conducted at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital. Patients received treatment on the InMotion ARM™ robot for 18 sessions over 6 weeks with one arm followed by 18 sessions over 6 weeks with the other arm. Patients showed changes greater than 10% in Fugl-Meyer Scores and 20% in the Motor Power Scales. The study also showed that while one arm was treated, both arms showed comparable improvement.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
A pilot study of two MS patients at the West Haven VA Medical Center has shown that treatment with the InMotion AnkleBot twice a week for twelve total sessions resulted in significant improvement in torque production at the ankle and movement accuracy. Although the training did not include gait activities the researchers noted carry over
improvement in gait function when measured through six-minute walk tests.
