•  Clinical Benefits of 'Propulsion Feedback Training' Using an End-Effector Gait Rehabilitation Robot Revealed

CUREXO, a medical robotics company, announced on June 4 that it will present the latest clinical outcomes using its next-generation gait rehabilitation robot, MorningWalk, at the 63rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the Japanese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine (JARM 2026), which will be held from June 4 to 7 at the Fukuoka Convention Center in Japan.

The JARM Annual Meeting is one of the largest academic events in Japan dedicated to rehabilitation medicine, bringing together rehabilitation specialists from Japan, across Asia, and around the world to share the latest research findings and clinical experiences.

At this year's conference, CUREXO will present research under the theme, "Effects of Propulsion Feedback Training Using a Novel End-Effector Gait Rehabilitation Robot."

MorningWalk is a footplate-based end-effector gait rehabilitation robot. Unlike exoskeleton-type systems that require the robot to be directly attached to the patient's body, it offers shorter setup times and enables a variety of gait training patterns.

In particular, the propulsion feedback training technology featured in this presentation allows patients to recognize and adjust the force used to push off the ground during walking in real time, enabling more active gait training.

A CUREXO representative said, "This presentation is a meaningful opportunity to introduce MorningWalk's clinical effectiveness and technological competitiveness to rehabilitation medicine experts worldwide. We plan to actively expand our gait rehabilitation robotics business in overseas markets, including Japan, and strengthen global partnerships."
