Clinical evidence
Validated through clinical programs in Kazakhstan
A-GEAR has been evaluated in two formal clinical programs, demonstrating its application across adult stroke rehabilitation and pediatric cerebral palsy rehabilitation.
CS1
Stroke Rehabilitation - Pilot Clinical Trials
Multidisciplinary Hospital named after Prof. Kh. Zh. Makazhan, Karaganda
Ten adult patients with post-stroke lower-limb motor deficits underwent supervised A-GEAR therapy using the exoskeleton, treadmill, and body-weight support system. Outcomes demonstrated improvements in gait initiation, step symmetry, and walking endurance.
CS2
Cerebral Palsy - Phase 3 Clinical Trials
National Centre for Children Rehabilitation (NCCR), Kazakhstan
Trials with pediatric patients evaluated support for natural gait patterns in cerebral palsy rehabilitation. Therapists used suspension support and selected VR sessions; clinical observation confirmed improved walking patterns and greater active participation.
Clinical observation: Across both programs, therapists noted efficient patient setup, high-quality gait assistance, and useful real-time therapy data. No adverse device-related events were reported.
Research and funding
Built on published rehabilitation robotics research
A-GEAR draws on more than 17 years of peer-reviewed research in mechanical design, control algorithms, and clinical methodology.
