Functional Therapy Engineering Solutions utilize technology to support movement and recovery in patients with physical impairments. This area includes assistive devices like exoskeletons, therapeutic robotics, and biofeedback systems that help patients regain function and independence. Exoskeletons assist those with spinal cord injuries or other mobility challenges in walking again, while therapeutic robotics enable targeted exercises for patients with neurological conditions. Biofeedback systems track muscle activity in real time, allowing therapists to adjust treatments for better results. By merging engineering with therapeutic methods, these solutions provide patients with customized tools that maximize their rehabilitation potential, improve functional abilities, and encourage active participation in recovery. Functional Therapy Engineering Solutions represent the future of personalized, tech-supported rehabilitation, especially for individuals with complex mobility needs.
