The PTR Robot contributes to early rehabilitation, as our Chairman of the board of directors, Lone Jager Lindquist explains in the article from CareNet - Nationalt Netværk for Velfærdsteknologi:
“Our focus is welfare technology in the healthcare sector. Our robot contributes for example to patients getting a fast as possible start on rehabilitation, what you would call early mobilization. That’s why our robot enables the rehabilitation of patients by e.g. gait training and sit to stand training. Early rehabilitation creates both value for the hospitals and for the patients.”
The article is in danish and this quote is our own translation.
The robot is simple and intuitive to use which makes it possible for every caregiver to practice e.g. gait training with the patients. The rehabilitation procedures can therefore be on a regular basis and be practiced with the regular staff, which means safety and comfort for a lot of patients and especially residents at a nursing home.
