Groot Klimmendaal is a Dutch medical rehabilitation center for people who suffer from physical, cognitive or multiple disabilities. The goal is to make patients as independent as possible, encouraging them to live their lives without having to spend most of their days in hospitals or health centers. Groot Klimmendaal, like many other rehabilitation centers, has invested in various robotic projects. These projects are beginning to have a significant impact in the medical world and tests are showing positive results.
Project ROBAR, for example, has found robot arm support to be a valuable rehabilitation tool and aims to take this to the next level. Arm support has been implemented in seven different rehabilitation facilities across the Netherlands with good results. A project like ROBAR is the first step towards making a difference in the medical world.
