Evidence-based neurorehabilitation technology The epicenter of interactive robotics in neurorehabilitation Interactive Motion Technologies (IMT) is the global pioneer and leader in providing effective robotic tools for neurorehabilitation professionals. Developed at the Newman Laboratory for Biomechanics and Human Rehabilitation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), InMotion Robots are the most thoroughly researched technology available in the rehabilitation industry. InMotion robotic therapy augments each patient s remarkable capability to learn, reacquire and improve motor skills using the brain s own inherent neuroplasticity. InMotion robots patented {i] Assist as Needed technology and evidence-based treatment protocols ensures patients are continously engaged and able to perform over 1000 movements per interactive therapy session. By applying the latest research in neuroscience, neurorehabilitation and biomedical engineering, IMT is redefining recovery for neurorehabilitation professionals, patients and their families. Our mission is to improve function and quality of life to the broadest possible range of neurologic patients. Between 1994 and 1998 the MIT-Manus was tested with over 250 Stroke Patients InMotion Robots become available for clinical use MIT-MANUS project initiated Clinical Guidelines 1989 1994 MIT-MANUS Clinical debut Burke Rehabilitation Hospital where it has been in daily operation since 1994. 1998 2010 From 1998-2010, InMotion Robots were tested with over 800 stroke patients in the worlds leading medical research institutions 2012 National Health Service UK InMotion Robots were selected by the National Health Service (NHS) and its National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) to examine the efficacy and effectiveness of robotic therapy in the UK medical system According to NHS this is the Largest ever stroke rehabilitation study in the British Healthcare System backdriveable robotic hardware impedance control assist-as-needed modular rehabilitation system 3 CORE DESIGN PRINCIPLES Today the American Heart Association, American Stroke Association and the Department of Veterans Affairs all include robot-assisted therapy in their stroke rehabilitation guidelines for moderate to severe patients with upper extremity disability.

INMOTION inmotion robots Dan Parkinson PT, MBA Director of Rehabilitation, Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital, Braintree, MA Braintree believes that their investment in InMotion and other rehab technology has made a favorable impact on the hospital. It is hard to attribute any specific initiative to inpatient volume growth, however Braintree believes evidence-based technology has helped to increase admissions of neurologic patients for both inpatient and outpatient programs, says Parkinson. Technology has also helped with our therapist recruitment and retention. Our clinical staff is excited about contributing to the development of clinical applications for rehab technology. Braintree is proud that we can offer patients such innovative treatment. INTERACTIVE MOTION TECHNOLOGIES Redefining Recovery 10
Evidence-based neurorehabilitation technology Published research using inmotion robots Interactive Motion Technologies InMotion Robots have been used in all the publications listed below and are the most thouroughly researched technology available for neurorehabilitation. Stroke Significant Impairment Reduction and Improvement in Function In a multi-center, randomized controlled trial involving 127 chronic stroke patients with moderate to severe upper-limb impairment, InMotion assist-as-needed therapy demonstrated significant improvement in arm movement, function and quality of life. (Lo. A.C., et.al Robot-Assisted Therapy for Long-Term Upper Limb Impairment after Stroke, New England Journal of Medicine, 362:1772, May 13, 2010) In a controlled clinical study involving 56 stroke inpatients, the motor skills of the robot-treated group improved significantly more than the control group. Analysis showed that interactive robotic therapy significantly reduced motor impairment of the treated limbs, doubling the impairment reduction. We ve shown that with the right therapy, [stroke patients] can see improvements in movement, everyday function and quality of life-this is giving stroke survivors new hope. Dr. Albert Lo, Neurologist Principal Investigator Robot-Assisted Therapy for Long-Term Upper-Limb Impairment after Stroke The New England Journal of Medicine May 13, 2010 (Volpe, B.T., Krebs, H.I., Hogan, N., Edelstein, O.L., Diels, C and Aisen, M., A Novel Approach to Stroke Rehabilitation Robot-Assisted Sensorimotor Stimulation, Neurology, 54 (2000) 1938-44) Clinical research designed to measure the intensity of therapy needed to augment neuroplasticity shows at least 400 repetitions are required. InMotion Robots are designed to deliver over 1000 repetitions in a typical therapy session. 11
INMOTION Published research using inmotion robots Stroke Long Lasting Improvements Patients from an early clinical study were recalled up to three years later, and those patients who received interactive robotic therapy sustained their improvement over those who did not. Moreover, subsequent follow-up studies re-examining these patients also confirmed the findings. (Volpe, B.T., Krebs, H.I., Hogan, N., Edelstein, L., Diels, C.M. and Aisen, M.L. Robot Training Enhanced Motor Outcome in Patients with Stroke Maintained over 3 years, Neurology, 53 (1999) 1874-6) (Volpe, B.T., Krebs, H.I., Hogan, N.; Is Robot-Aided Sensorimotor Training in Stroke Rehabilitation a Realistic Opinion? Current Opinion in Neurology, Lippincott Williams &Wilkins, 14:745-752, 2001) Thanks to the InMotion Arm Robot, I am now able to use my left arm to hold my granddaughter on my lap to read to her. I m more balanced and have greater endurance when I walk. After the first robotic session, I was able to lift my left foot up to my buttock. David Karchem, stroke patient and volunteer, Rancho Los Amigos Rehabilitation Hospital Improvement can Occur Even Several Years Post Onset of Injury A multi-center VA study of 127 patients with longterm severe to moderate upper-limb impairment from a stroke that occurred at least 6 months before enrollment (average time of 4.7 years, 33% with multiple strokes) found that the improvements provide evidence of potential long-term benefits of rehabilitation and challenge the widely held clinical belief that gains in motor function are not possible for long term stroke survivors. (Lo, A.C., et al, Robot-Assisted Therapy for Long- Term Upper-Limb Impairment after Stroke, New England Journal of Medicine, 362 1772, May 13, 2010) Patients, who had suffered a single unilateral stroke one to five years earlier and who were demonstrated to be in a stable phase, showed significant improvement after receiving robotic therapy three times a week for six weeks. These findings also suggest that such patients have potential for further recovery which conventional therapy has been unable to tap into.

J. Krol, J. Krebs, H. I., Hogan, N., Volpe, B. T., Robot Aided Sensorimotor Arm Training Improves Outcome in Patients with Chronic Stroke, Neurology, 61: 1604-1607,2003.) 12

IMT in close collaboration with the Newman laboratory for biomechanics and human rehabilitation at MIT has developed the ANKLEBOT. The technology uses patented Assit-as-Needed technology and the initial results are quite encouraging.

The children showed significant improvement in total Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scores. A questionnaire administered to the children s parents also showed significant improvement in how the children used the paretic arm during functional tasks at home. (Fasoli, S. E., Fragala-Pinkham, M., Hughes, R., Hogan, N., Krebs, H.I., Stein, J., Upper Limb Robotic Therapy for Children with Hemiplegia, American Journal of Rehabilitation, 87:11:929-936 (2008) A childs brain is much more plastic than an adults brain, so if adults can make gains perhaps children with CP can make even larger gains. In our initial studies we saw gains that were completely unexpected!

INMOTION Published research using inmotion robots CEREBRAL PALSY Robotics Helps Tappan Girl Move Again By Randi Weiner To her mother, her special-education teacher and her therapists, watching 8-year-old Heather Matthew use both hands to cut out magazine pictures and glue them onto paper is like watching a miracle unfold. Heather s left side has been paralyzed since she was an infant. About 18 months ago, she qualified for an experimental program at Blythedale Children s Hospital in Valhalla using MIT-created robots to move her left arm in a circle hundreds of times to see if it would help return movement to her left side. The results have been outstanding, said Donna Matthews of Tappan, Heather s mother. Two days before her First Communion in May, Heather raised her left arm as high as her ear the first time she had done since she was 17 months old. I think she s really come a long way in the last two years, said Eleanor Lacovetta, who has been Heather s occupational therapist for three years and was helping her with the cut-and-paste project yesterday at her Rockland Board of Cooperative Education Services summer school class. Her fine motor skills have really improved. Now, when she s engaged in a cutting activity, she s stabilizing the paper with her left hand and bringing it to the cutting edge and helping guide the paper to the scissors. She was never able to do this before, Lacovetta said.

INMOTION Inmotion eval Worlds first Intelligent evaluation system Quantifies upper extremity motor control and movement recovery Establishes a baseline and measures progress to Determine medical necessity Justify continuation of treatment based upon measurable gains Measures effectiveness of treatment intervention (robotic and other) Five evaluation tests Takes about 20 minutes Robot generates 4 evaluation reports Uses technology to objectively measure motor control more consistently, reliably and efficiently then a human-administered clinical scales. First step towards a unified, automated measure of the outcomes Robot records kinematic and kinetic elements of upper extremity movement. (Position, Direction, Distance, Area, Time, Force) Robot calculates 13 evidence-based measures of motor control that are highly correlated with Fugl-Meyer, Motor Power and NIH Stroke Scale performance. Performance translates to function. five EVALUATION TESTS EFFICIENT 1. Circle tests Set of 4 trials, total 20 circles 2. Point-to-Point 80 Movements towards a target 3. Playback Static stabilization, isometric hold 4. Round Dynamic Movement against resistance, isotonic 5. InMotion Maximum Force (optional feature) The InMotion robot calculates 13 new measures of motor control and movement recovery Circle Tests InMotion Circle Size measures the size of the circle which indicates the patient s range of motor coordination. To perform a functional extremity task: dressing, bathing, feeding etc. A patient must plan, sequence, and time movements over a broad range or area. InMotion Joint Independence measures the patient s ability to freely coordinate their arm purposefully in all directions. Joint independence is required for functional tasks: placing an arm in a sleeve, grooming hair, giving a hug, etc. Playback Static InMotion Stabilization measures a patient s ability to employ shoulder and elbow muscles to stabilize position when external force is applied. Upper extremity weight bearing requires the shoulder and elbow muscles to co-contract to maintain a position. Shoulder and elbow stabilization is essential for resting on an elbow, pushing up from a chair, opening a door, automatic reactions such as protective extension, etc. 24
Evidence-based neurorehabilitation technology Inmotion eval Worlds first Intelligent evaluation system The InMotion robot calculates 13 new measures of motor control and movement recovery Point to Point InMotion Path Error measures the patient s ability to move accurately along a straight path towards a goal/target/object. Safe, functional reaching requires a person to move their arm directly and efficiently towards an object avoiding other objects along the path. Simple tasks such as reaching for a book and knocking over a glass or reaching for a spoon and bumping into a hot pan would create a safety risk and threaten a person s ability to live independently. Controlling the movement path is critical to function and safety. InMotion Peak Velocity measures the patient s ability to achieve a maximum velocity. There is safety and efficiency in the ability to move quickly when needed. Moving with greater speed demonstrates the greater ability; however, speed without accuracy and efficiency is not desirable. InMotion Mean Velocity measures the patient s ability to move at a functional speed to complete the task in a reasonable period of time. InMotion Reach Error measures the patient s ability to precisely reach towards the center of a target. An analogy is the archer hitting a bull s eye. Putting on glasses, placing a hat on a head and picking up a grape all require motor control accuracy. InMotion Smoothness measures the patient s ability to control changes in acceleration (increases and decreases of speed). Poorly coordinated changes in acceleration result in jerky movements and affects timing. Smooth motor control is required to lift or carry a full cup or eat soup with a spoon. ROund Dynamic InMotion Displacement measures the ability to move the arm through or against resistance. Reaching while wearing a heavy coat, pushing a baby carriage, opening a door requires a person to function in the presence of resistance. InMotion Maximum Force (optional feature) InMotion Maximum Force Measures maximum strength a patient can exert in shoulder flexion, extension, adduction and abduction. The four shoulder tests: shoulder flexion/extension and shoulder adduction/abduction measure the patient s ability to generate a maximum force. Applying forces with shoulder muscle groups is essential for functional independence. Examples include using a hammer, opening a can, push up from a chair, stabilizing balance with a cane, giving a hug, cutting food, etc. INTERACTIVE MOTION TECHNOLOGIES Redefining Recovery 25
INMOTION Evidence-Based Neurorehabilitation Technology According to the American Heart Association, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the latest Cochrane Report, upper extremity robot-assisted therapy can make a modest but significant clinical impact in the functional outcomes (FIM ) of stroke patients in the inpatient and outpatient settings. Drawing circles with the InMotion Robot is part of the clinical evaluation protocols included in the InMotion Eval software. The following are circles drawn by a chronic stroke patient. On the Left is the admission plot and on the right is the discharge plot following 6 weeks of InMotion Therapy. (The robot does not provide assistance during evaluation) admission plot discharge plot What improvements in functional abilities do patients or therapists report? Examples of new abilities using affected affected arm following robot assist-as-needed therapy: Put on a shirt or jacket Hold a shopping bag Push open a door Pick up a laundry basket Turn on a light switch Do household chores Pick up a cup of coffee Put a leash on a dog The goal of reaching towards a target is part of the clinical evaluation protocols included in InMotion Eval. The following reaching movements were performed by a chronic stroke patient. On the Left is the admission plot and on the right is the discharge plot following 6 weeks of InMotion Therapy. (The robot does not provide assistance during evaluation) admission plot discharge plot By applying the latest research in neuroscience, neurorehabilitation and biomedical engineering, IMT is Redefining Recovery for neurorehabilitation professionals, patients and their families.

Conroy, SS, et al., Effect of Gravity on Robot-Assisted Motor Training After Chronic Stroke: A RandomizedTrial, Archives Physical Medicine Rehabilitation Vol 92, November (2011) 2D Planar Therapy Spatial 3D Therapy IMT s modular, gym-of-robots systems approach to neurorehabilitation is the only system designed to optimize the use of robotics for neurorehabilitation in a manner that is consistent with the latest clinical research and neuroscience, taking into account the latest understandings on motor learning interference and motor memory consolidation. For instance, training planar and vertical (anti-gravity) movements in alternate days leads to significant functional improvements 1. By measuring patient kinematic and kinetic data objectively, IMT s robots have shown that for severe to moderate brain injury the effectiveness of therapy is optimized by allowing the robots to focus on reducing impairment and allowing the therapist to assist on translating the gains in impairment into function.

The robot can estimate ankle angles with an error less than 1 in both planes of movement (maximum 1.5 ) over a wide range of movement (60 in dorsi-plantarflexion and 40 in eversion-inversion) and can measure ankle torques with an error less than 1 N m. It has low friction (0.744 N m) and inertia (0.8 kg per actuator for a total of 1.6 kg at the foot) to maximize the backdriveability. Although the device adds some weight to the leg, a previous study has shown that unilaterally loading the impaired leg with the additional mass of the In- Motion ANKLE had no detrimental effect on the gait pattern in subjects with chronic hemiparesis (Khanna et al. 2010).
