Safety and efficacy of add-on robotic therapy for early mobilization in intermediate neurocritical care: a pilot study
The results of this pilot study indicate that VEMOTION<sup>®</sup> robotic therapy is a safe and effective adjunct to conventional physiotherapy for the early mobilization of critically ill neurosurgical patients, leading to clinically significant improvements in physical and respiratory function. Further large-scale studies are needed to confirm these findings and establish the robot's role in daily clinical practice.
