Next generation robotic mobility devices for people with disabilities
ABOUT
I Rise Mechanics 357 is a high-tech company, engineering and manufacturing
new-generation, robotic mobility devices for people with lower limbs
disabilities with unique design, mechanics, electronics and software. Our
systems will improve health, independence, social inclusion and quality of life
for disabled people.
THE STORY
FACTS
Globally every year between the 250,000 to 500,000 incidents lead to the lower
limbs being immobilized.
The average age of people experiencing such incidents is
39.5 years.
Most of these people are of working age, physically active and living an active
lifestyle.
Most of the aids for people with vertebral injuries are designed to move them in
a sitting position. However, the extended stay of the human body in a
wheelchair is unusual and leads to inevitably life-long secondary health
problems such as deep vein thrombosis, urinary tract infections, muscular spasms, osteoporosis,decubital wounds, chronic pain, respiratory disabilities and many others.
