Why ABELarm?
The world's first motorized exoskeleton
- for the entire arm
Our aid is for stroke survivors and others with reduced function in one arm so that they can become more independent in their daily lives. ABELarm is a motorized orthosis that gives users the ability to grasp, as well as move the elbow and shoulder, making the affected arm usable as a "support arm" for everyday tasks. Additionally, the assistive device will train the arm, which for some users will improve the function of the arm.
ABELarm is controlled by small sensors that detect when users try to lift the arm or open the grip, then the aid, with the help of small motors, will assist the movement. It's the same technology used in more advanced hand prosthetics.
ABELarm is intended as a support arm in activities that require two hands. ABELarm is a perfect aid for opening lids or screw caps. Or more practical tasks such as carrying a laundry basket or slicing bread. For home use, ABELarm can assist in various hobbies and recreational activities. It can also be used as an aid in the office.
