ABLE Human Motion S.L. news
We interviewed Prof. Dr. Ing. Rüdiger Rupp, a key opinion leader in the field of rehabilitation technology with more than 25 years of clinical experience, to talk about rehabilitation, exoskeleton technology, clinical trials and many more.
Prof. Dr. Ing. Rüdiger Rupp is the Head of Experimental Neurorehabilitation at the Heidelberg University Hospital in Germany. Throughout his extensive career, he has authored ov
After creating 7 iterative versions of the exoskeleton prototype that have been tested in individuals with spinal cord injury to validate product-market fit and receive early feedback in order to adapt, change and redesign the device, we have frozen the design of the ABLE Exoskeleton. The final design will be revealed at RehabWeek, the leading conference in rehabilitation technology, in Rotterdam on 25-29 July 2022.
We are pleased to announce that “EngageABLE”, a project of ABLE Human Motion in collaboration with the dutch hospital Sint Maartenskliniek, has been awarded for funding by DIH-HERO. The goal of this project is to enhance the capabilities of the ABLE Exoskeleton to promote users’ motivation and faster learning. DIH-HERO is an independent platform that con
We performed 2 clinical trials in leading neurorehabilitation hospitals in Germany and Spain proving safety, feasibility and usability of the exoskeleton in a clinical setting, and showing significant improvements in clinical outcomes and benefits in rehabilitation.

1. What is ABLE Care? (what devices does it work on)
ABLE Care is a software application for smartphones that allows clinicians to control, adjust parameters and monitor ABLE Exoskeleton gait metrics in real-time during rehabilitation sessions.
In addition, ABLE Care serves as an intermediate platform to save the data collected during rehabilitation in the cloud storage system a
Congratulations to the ONWARD team for the incredible progress they are making in the field of neuroengineering!
In recent days, numerous media have reported the news of a great advance for science, and especially for all those people with spinal cord injury and their medical and caregiver teams. The ONWARD team has developed an epidural electrical stimulation system using electrodes placed in the epidural space (between the vertebrae and the spinal cord membrane), whic
Helena López; why did you decide to become a physiotherapist?
Because I like dealing with people, I like helping, I like healthcare… All these reasons were leading me towards medicine, but, in that case, I would spend little time with the patient. I preferred the contact, to be more involved in their evolution. And what made me decide,
specifically for the field of neurology, was the movie: Regarding Henry, I said: “I want to dev
In November 2021, ABLE hosted two focus groups with members of our SCI community. The topic was the exoskeleton use at home. The groups were made up of 11 participants from the ABLE network who have a spinal cord injury and who had experience using exoskeletons for rehabilitation.
The purpose of the focus groups was to gather experiences, insights, and suggestions from members of the ABLE community about how to best adapt an exoskeleton to home and community use.
