Relearning to walk and maintaining physical activity are paramount rehabilitation objectives for individuals facing weakness, numbness, balance issues, or recovering from debilitating injuries or illnesses. To achieve lasting neuroplasticity gains and regain the ability to walk, thousands of task-specific repetitions are necessary. Introducing the ICARE Rehabilitation System, a groundbreaking innovation designed to empower patients and assist clinicians in their rehabilitation journey.

Empowering Patients, Assisting Clinicians: ICARE’s intelligent control offers a unique blend of assistive and resistive movement, following the "assist as needed" approach akin to hands-on therapy by a skilled clinician. It not only liberates clinicians from strenuous manual lifting but also enhances patient access to assistive technology, facilitating improvements in walking and fitness.

Key Features:

1. Natural Walking Simulation: Research confirms that SportsArt's elliptical closely emulates the natural walking motion more than any other elliptical machine.
2. Variable Speeds: Forward and reverse motor assistance allows speeds of up to 65 cycles per minute, catering to various patient needs.
3. Adaptive Motor Assistance: Automatically adjusts to suit the patient's exercise requirements.
4. Versatile Training Options: Offers single or dual-leg training to accommodate a wide range of patient needs.
5. Adjustable Stride Length: Fingertip shift-on-the-fly controls allow an electronically controlled stride range from 18" to 29".
6. Complete Body Workout: Dual action motion engages the entire body.
7. Heart Rate Monitoring: Equipped with contact and telemetry heart rate monitoring for accurate tracking.
8. Remote Control: Clinicians can make adjustments easily and un-intrusively with a remote control.
9. Passcode Control: Allows usage as a standalone elliptical trainer with secure passcode protection.
10. Safety First: Infrared safety system shutdown reduces the risk of injury during use.

Research-Backed Design: Dr. Judy Burnfield, in collaboration with SportsArt, validated that our elliptical closely mimics the Kinematic and Electromyographic (EMG) patterns of walking more accurately than any other device. This partnership gave birth to the ICARE Rehabilitation System, comprising three components: the E872MA elliptical, E872MU body unweighting system, and E872MP wheelchair ramp, stairs, and clinician platform. Together, these components provide zero, partial, or full-body weight support and motor guidance, relieving clinicians of manual manipulation and facilitating precise patient feedback.

ICARE: Revolutionizing Rehabilitation: ICARE is a fully-integrated system that offers a safe and effective method for assisting patients with neuromuscular disorders resulting from conditions like stroke, TBI, SCI, and more. This assistive rehab design alleviates clinicians from manual strain and broadens patient access to assistive technology, enhancing both walking and cardiovascular fitness.

Developed at the Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital and Research Institute: The ICARE's intelligently controlled, motor-assisted leg movements closely replicate the kinematic and EMG patterns of walking. This tailored training approach aids individuals in regaining or retaining their walking and fitness abilities, personalized to their unique rehabilitation needs. The ICARE is suitable for both home and clinical usage.
