Dora Bedside Rehabilitation Training System
Dora from ZD MedTech brings rehabilitation capabilities directly to patient bedsides, addressing the growing clinical emphasis on early mobilization in acute care settings. The system enables motor training for hospitalized patients who cannot yet access traditional rehabilitation departments.
Product Overview
Early mobilization has emerged as a critical intervention for preventing complications associated with prolonged bed rest. However, delivering rehabilitation to patients in acute wards and intensive care units presents logistical challenges that conventional rehabilitation equipment cannot address. Dora was designed specifically for bedside deployment, enabling therapists to initiate motor training earlier in the care continuum.
The active-passive training capability accommodates patients across a wide range of motor abilities, from those with minimal volitional movement requiring fully powered assistance to those ready for active participation. This flexibility allows continuous rehabilitation intervention as patients progress through recovery stages.
Dora received NMPA medical device registration in September 2025, enabling clinical deployment across hospitals in China.
Key Features
At the bedside in acute care wards and ICUs, ZD MedTech’s Dora delivers passive-to-active-resistive motor training to patients who cannot yet reach a rehabilitation department — NMPA approved September 2025.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Dora different from standard rehabilitation equipment?
Dora is specifically designed for bedside use in acute care settings, enabling rehabilitation delivery to patients who cannot yet travel to rehabilitation departments. The portable design and appropriate safety features make it suitable for medically fragile patients in hospital wards and ICUs.
Can Dora be used in ICU settings?
Yes, Dora is designed with acute care environments including ICUs in mind. The system supports early mobilization protocols for critically ill patients to help prevent ICU-acquired weakness.
When should Dora be used in a patient’s care journey?
Dora enables rehabilitation intervention during the acute hospitalization phase, before patients are typically able to access traditional rehabilitation departments. This early intervention can help preserve motor function and accelerate overall recovery.
