ICan Robotics develops robotic rehabilitation units for people with reduced limb movements or control of the limbs. The upper limb and lower limb rehab units are named Motus and Lenar respectively. The robot is similar to an exoskeleton and replicate the structure of the limbs. The robot is unique, in the sense, it has no joints that have to be accurately aligned with the joints of the patient. This significantly reduces the down time needed for set up of the robot.
