CUREXO and The University of Texas Medical Branch Jointly Develop World's First Propulsion Force Feedback System for Rehabilitation Robots
• Real-time ground reaction force feedback helps improve gait symmetry in patients with moderate to severe impairments • Immersive VR-based training enhances patient engagement and motivation CUREXO, a leading medical robotics company (CEO Jaejun Lee), announced that it has co-developed a new Propulsion Force Feedback (PFF) system for its gait rehabilitation robot MORNINGWALK, in collaboration with The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB). This groundbreaking feature is the world's first system to provide real-time analysis of anterior-posterior ground reaction force (GRF), offering patients intuitive feedback on their gait propulsion.< Propulsion Force Feedback System > The newly developed PFF system is designed to move beyond conventional passive rehabilitation methods, enabling patients to engage in more active and goal-oriented training. It is particularly effective for stroke patients who typically exhibit significantly reduced GRF. By enhancing propulsion on the affected (hemiparetic) side, the system helps restore gait symmetry and improve walking stability. In addition, the system incorporates an interactive VR-based training program, transforming repetitive rehab exercises into an engaging, game-like experience. Patients can visually monitor their propulsion force in real time and make immediate adjustments, maximizing the effectiveness of each session.< VR System > "Gait propulsion is not only a measure of mobility but also a key indicator of a patient's ability to return to independent daily life," said a CUREXO spokesperson. "With the MORNINGWALK PFF system, medical professionals can design more precise rehabilitation strategies while patients train with increased motivation and enjoyment."The MORNINGWALK is an end-effector type gait rehabilitation robot, which assists lower limb joints through a powered footplate system. It is currently being utilized in major hospitals across South Korea and internationally recognized medical institutions.
