Luminaire is a robotic body-weight support system fixed above a slat-belt treadmill. The system provides precise levels of dynamic body-weight support to the patient as they walk on the treadmill, while simultaneously preventing falls. Clinician seating and footplates can be used for situations where manual-assisted ambulation is desired. The Luminaire System is intended to assist subjects who have experienced neurological and orthopedic injuries as they practice ambulating on a treadmill. Luminaire should never be used to lift subjects and should never be connected to inanimate objects. Luminaire should only be operated by therapists and trained healthcare professionals who have read and understand the instructions for use and have passed the Luminaire training competency exam conducted by an Aretech trainer or a certified staff trainer.
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.
