The G-EO System Evolution, developed by the Swiss company Reha Technology, is one of the most advanced devices available for gait re-education, helping rehabilitated individuals regain the ability to move independently. It stands out for its ease of use, variety of training modes, and minimal risk of injury to the patient.
Key Components:
- Patient weight support system
- User interface
- Handrail system
- Ramp
- Programmable foot platforms with straps
Preparation for the session is quick and straightforward, taking less than 10 minutes. The patient is secured to the foot platforms and supported by a harness, which can be easily adjusted to accommodate various body sizes and weights, including children with a minimum height of 90 cm.
The design and operation of the device enforce correct posture in the patient, reduce their weight load, and enable efficient coordination and gait training.
Key Features:
- Automated stair climbing and descending training
- Intelligent control module that adjusts to the patient’s increasing capabilities, such as reducing mechanical assistance as the patient becomes able to initiate movement independently
- Simulation of any lower limb movements involved in walking
- Visual scenarios displayed during gait training
- Pediatric module for children as short as 90 cm and weighing up to 50 kg
- Partial gait training (e.g., specific phases of walking)
- Feedback from platforms on the load distribution between the left and right foot
- Intelligent control that monitors the patient’s progress and adjusts settings accordingly
Indications for Use:
- Cerebral Palsy
- Stroke
- Orthopedic injuries
- Hip and knee joint replacements
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Parkinson’s disease
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Paraplegia
- Hemiplegia
- Guillain-Barré Syndrome
Benefits:
- Third-generation rehabilitation system
- Suitable for patients who are beginning to walk
- Visual feedback during gait training
- Simple operation (patient setup in under 10 minutes)
- Evidence-based therapy (objective, measurable, and comparable)
- Variety of training modes
- Short preparation time
- Minimal risk of patient injury
By programming the appropriate functions, therapists can achieve precise control over exercises, fulfilling all the patient’s needs and wishes, maximizing their ability to regain independence in daily life.
