The Ovation system is intended to assist subjects who have experienced neurological and orthopedic injuries as they practice therapeutic activities related to walking, balance activities and postural control tasks. Ovation should never be used to lift subjects off the ground and should never be connected to inanimate objects. Ovation should only be operated by clinicians and trained healthcare professionals who have read and understand the instructions for use and have passed the Ovation training competency exam conducted by an Aretech trainer or a certified staff trainer. The Ovation 400 model allows for a patient weight capacity of up to 400 pounds with a dynamic body-weight support range of 10 to 200 pounds.
An electrically-powered, body-weight unloading, gait rehabilitation device designed to assist a patient with a walking/balance disability (neurogenic, muscular, or osseous in origin) regain lost motor function, by enabling them to hang in a dedicated harness in a vertical position and exercise (e.g., walk over the ground or moving surface of an elliptical/treadmill, climb stairs, perform sit-to-stand movements). It consists of a ceiling- or wall-mounted beam, or floor-standing frame with a motorized attachment assembly connected to the harness which supports the body weight. It is intended to be used in a clinical setting under professional supervision.
