Problem

All individual components used in medical devices must meet special requirements. For example, the devices must not make any noise, should be maintenance-free and must have a low component weight. These features are particularly important for the automatic gait trainer from Prodrobot. The rehabilitation device has been specially developed for children with impairments and diseases of the lower limbs. It must therefore be easily and quickly adjustable in size and as light as possible so that rehabilitation is affected as little as possible. 

Solution

igus products create normal conditions with special consideration of medical requirements. They are built into the foot distance adjustment mechanism and thus help with rehabilitation of the lower extremities. The iglidur J bar stock is easy to process. All igus components are easy to install, require no maintenance and are available throughout the entire product life cycle. When repositioning the patient's foot, no noise is produced by the individual parts from igus.
