Hong Kong, October 29, 2024 — Professor Tong Kai-yu of The Chinese University of Hong Kong recently introduced Hopebotics’ latest innovation, Xo Muscle, on RTHK. This wearable, flexible rehabilitation robot is designed to aid children with cerebral palsy and individuals with stroke-related mobility impairments. Many children with cerebral palsy struggle with unsteady steps, and to help them learn to walk, Professor Tong’s team developed this wearable device using brain-computer interface (BCI) technology to enable effective rehabilitation. Clinical tests have shown that after 20 sessions over two to three months, patients experience significant improvements in their ability to perform daily activities independently.
The design of Xo Muscle combines ergonomic and biomimetic technology, allowing it to respond to the user’s neural signals and facilitate active movement training, which promotes neural regeneration and functional recovery. Clinical tests have demonstrated Xo Muscle’s effectiveness in helping many patients gradually regain their ability to perform daily activities, bringing new hope to those in need of support.
Hopebotics’ innovation represents a significant breakthrough in the field of rehabilitation, offering a more efficient and adaptive solution for children with cerebral palsy and stroke patients seeking improved quality of life and independence.
