Focus on Developing Innovative Products to Help Needy Patient

Similarly, the key stakeholders in the global robotic rehabilitation assistive technologies market are now trying to develop robotic trousers that will help disabled people to walk normally. Such robotic trousers are now being developed by integrating soft artificial muscles laced with electric conditioning so as to instigate normal walking movement in such patients. Also, with an objective to improve the body functionality of these disabled patients, these assistive trousers come with functional electric stimulation technology. This technology releases electrical impulses over the body muscles that then establishes communication between muscles and human brain. It thus results in a direct command to the muscles to either contract or move.
In recent years, there have been several such successful innovations launched in the global market. A prime example can be given of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The university developed and evaluated the efficiency of a robotic arm. The arm could function as a self-help mobile rehabilitation of an upper limb. It was designed in order to help patients who have suffered from stroke. Since a considerable share of the robotic rehabilitation assistive technologies market share is being dominated by the rehabilitation robots, the key stakeholders in are now investing more resources for developing lightweight and more mobile devices that will be able to help patients suffering from different types physical challenges.
One of the key reasons for disability in individuals is occurrence of stroke. Thus, the robotic rehabilitation assistive technologies market stakeholders are now focusing on developing different techniques such as exoskeleton with soft robot and exo-nerve stimulation technologies to serve these patients.

Lower Cognitive Functionality is Restrain for Market Growth

However, there are a few key restraints for the global robotic rehabilitation assistive technologies market. One of the major challenges in the robotic rehabilitation and assistive technologies landscape is decreased cognitive functionality in elderly patients to assess the appropriate use of robot suits. Also, the risk of collisions due to uncertainty while driving vehicles and disorderly variations in low-base floors and other structural mechanisms pose challenges for stakeholders. Another challenge is to support monoaxial joint movement in the knees and hips to prevent a sudden fall.
North America accounted for a major share of the global robotic rehabilitation and assistive technologies market in 2018, followed by Europe. Early adoption of technologically-advanced robotic rehabilitation & assistive technologies, favorable healthcare reimbursement policies in the U.S. and Canada, and rapid increase in the geriatric population with physical disability are likely to drive the robotic rehabilitation and assistive technologies market in North America.

Key players operating in the global robotic rehabilitation and assistive technologies market includeReWalk Robotics, AlterG, Inc., Bionik Laboratories Corp, Ekso Bionics, Vincent Medical DIH Technologies Corporation (Hocoma), CYBERDYNE, INC., and Kinova, Inc.
