Study Sensory, Motor and Cognitive Function With a Highly-Flexible Platform

As recommended by a recent Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Roundtable, kinematic measures of motor function are recommended for research into sensorimotor function.  

Better Your Research with Kinarm

Gravity support for participants with severe UL weakness.

The Kinarm Exoskeleton Lab allows free movement in the horizontal plane.

Quantify brain function through behaviour.

Conduct research in complex cognitive-motor function.
Output kinematic and kinetic parameters.
Cluster homogenous behaviour from a heterogeous sample.
Measure significant change.
Focus on the data; not the programming.
