Research announces that it has published a new study Rehabilitation
Robots: Market Shares, Strategy, and
Forecasts, Worldwide, 2014 to 2020. The
2015 study has 659 pages, 266 tables and figures. Worldwide markets are poised to achieve
significant growth as the rehabilitation robots, active prostheses, and
exoskeletons are used inside rehabilitation treatment centers and sports
facilities providing rehabilitation for all patients with injuries or physical
dysfunction.
Relearning
of lost functions in a patient depends on stimulation of desire to conquer the
disability. The rehabilitation robots
can show patients progress and keep the progress occurring, encouraging
patients to work on getting healthier.
Independent functioning of patients depends on intensity of treatment,
task-specific exercises, active initiation of movements and motivation and
feedback. Rehabilitation robots can
assist with these tasks in multiple ways.
Creating a gaming aspect to the rehabilitation process has brought a significant
improvement in systems.

As
patients get stronger and more coordinated, a therapist can program the robot
to let them bear more weight and move more freely in different directions,
walking, kicking a ball, or even lunging to the side to catch one. The robot
can follow the patient’s lead as effortlessly as a ballroom dancer, its
presence nearly undetectable until it senses the patient starting to drop and
quickly stops a fall. In the later
stages of physical therapy, the robot can nudge patients off balance to help
them learn to recover.
According
to Susan Eustis, principal author of the team that developed the market
research study, “Robotic therapy stimulus of upper limbs provides an example of
the excellent motor recovery after stroke that can be achieved using
rehabilitation robots.” Lower limb
systems and exoskeleton systems provide wheelchair bound patients the ability
to get out of a wheelchair
No company
dominates the entire rehabilitation robot market sector. The products that work are still emerging as
commercial devices. All the products
that are now commercially viable are positioned to achieve significant staying
power in the market long term, providing those companies that offer them with a
possibility for long term leadership position in the market.
The
companies you would expect to see as participating in these markets, the
leaders in the wheelchair markets re not there with any significant
presence. The exoskeletons will
challenge the wheel chairs, providing a supplement to the wheelchair,
permitting disabled people to have some more mobility than they have now.
Robotic
rehabilitation equipment is mostly used in rehabilitation clinical
facilities. There is a huge opportunity
for launching a homecare equipment market if it is done through sports clubs
rather than through clinical facilities.
People expect insurance to pay for medical equipment but are willing to
spend bundles on sports trainer equipment for the home. Rehabilitation robots can help stroke
patients years after an event, so it makes a difference if someone keeps
working to improve their functioning.
Vendors
will very likely have to develop a strong rehabilitation robotic market
presence as these devices evolve a homecare aspect. The expense of nursing home rehabilitation
has been very high, limiting the use of rehabilitation to a few weeks or months
at the most.
Rehabilitation
robots realistically extend the use of automated process for rehabilitation in
the home. The availability of affordable
devices that improve mobility is not likely to go unnoticed by the sports clubs
and the baby boomer generation, now entering the over 65 age group and seeking
to maintain lifestyle.
As
clinicians realize that more gains can be made by using rehabilitation robots
in the home, the pace of acquisitions will likely pick up.
Rehabilitation
robot market size at $203.3 million in 2014 is expected grow dramatically to
reach $1.1 billion by 2021. Exoskeleton
markets will be separate and additive to this market. A separate exoskeleton market will create
more growth. Market growth is a result
of the effectiveness of robotic treatment of muscle difficulty. The usefulness of the rehabilitation robots
is increasing. Doing more sophisticated
combinations of exercise have become more feasible as the technology
evolves. Patients generally practice 1,000
varied movements per session. With the
robots, more sessions are possible.
