RELAX-C Series Pediatric Rehabilitation Robot

The RELAX-C Series is MileBot’s pediatric rehabilitation exoskeleton designed specifically for children with lower limb motor dysfunction. The system accommodates patients between 90-150cm in height and operates with preset rehabilitation programs adapted for childhood neurological conditions.

Product Overview

Pediatric rehabilitation presents unique challenges compared to adult therapy: smaller limb dimensions require proportionally scaled mechanics, developing nervous systems respond differently to training stimuli, and engagement strategies must account for children’s attention spans and motivation patterns.

The RELAX-C Series addresses these requirements with a size-appropriate exoskeleton frame and preset training programs designed for conditions prevalent in pediatric rehabilitation—cerebral palsy, pediatric stroke, and developmental motor disorders. The compliant actuator technology shared across MileBot’s product line provides gentle, force-limited movement particularly important when working with developing musculoskeletal systems.

Key Features

Pediatric-Scaled Design: Mechanical components sized for children 90-150cm in height, with adjustable segments to accommodate growth during extended treatment periods.

Preset Training Programs: Pre-configured rehabilitation protocols designed for pediatric conditions, reducing setup complexity for therapists.

Compliant Actuator Safety: Force-limited actuators provide inherent safety margins appropriate for developing skeletal structures.

Visual Feedback Options: Interface elements designed to engage pediatric patients during training sessions.

Technical Specifications

For pediatric patients between 90 and 150 cm, MileBot’s RELAX-C Series provides compliant-actuator lower limb training with preset protocols for cerebral palsy and childhood stroke.

Clinical Applications

The RELAX-C Series targets pediatric patients with gait dysfunction:

• Cerebral Palsy: Spastic diplegia, hemiplegia, and other motor subtypes affecting lower limb function
• Pediatric Stroke: Motor recovery following childhood arterial ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke
• Traumatic Brain Injury: Gait rehabilitation following acquired brain injury in children
• Developmental Coordination Disorder: Severe motor coordination deficits affecting ambulation

Pediatric rehabilitation protocols typically emphasize repetitive task practice, with session frequency and duration adapted to age-appropriate attention spans and fatigue thresholds. The preset program approach simplifies treatment planning while ensuring consistent training parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age range is the RELAX-C Series designed for?

The system is designed based on height (90-150cm) rather than age, as children develop at different rates. This typically corresponds to children approximately 3-12 years old, though individual sizing assessments should be performed.

Can the exoskeleton grow with the child during treatment?

The RELAX-C Series includes adjustable segment lengths to accommodate some growth during treatment periods. Children undergoing rapid growth spurts may eventually exceed the system’s adjustment range.

How do preset programs differ from customized therapy?

Preset programs provide standardized movement patterns and training progressions validated for specific conditions. Therapists can select appropriate programs based on diagnosis but cannot fully customize movement parameters as with adult systems.
