Work With Us
Carrying out rehabilitation exercises regularly has the potential of significantly improving a stroke survivor’s recovery. However, due to physical and cognitive deficiencies, stroke survivors may find it difficult to engage with the rehabilitation required. A robot has the potential to fill this coaching gap and provide extra motivation to adhere to repetitive individual exercises. You will be invited to Heriot-Watt University’s Edinburgh campus on three separate occasions to interact with the robotic rehabilitation coach. During these interactions the robot will guide you through a 30 minute rehabilitation session and will count how many of each exercise you manage to complete.
