About Rex Bionics Plc
Rex Bionics (AIM: RXB) is the AIM-listed pioneer of the REX
Robot that enhances the mobility of wheelchair users. Founded in
Auckland, New Zealand by two robotics engineers with first-hand
experience of wheelchair users and their needs, Rex Bionics is
working with physiotherapists to develop the practice of
Robot-Assisted Physiotherapy (RAP). In a session of RAP, REX lifts
patients from a sitting position into a robot-supported standing
position, allowing them to take part in a set of supported walking
and stretching exercises, designed by specialist
physiotherapists.
Wheelchair users are at risk of developing numerous medical
complications from extended periods of sitting. By enabling them to
spend more time standing, walking and exercising, REX may offer
significant health benefits, including improved sleep,
cardiovascular performance, maintenance of joint range, and a
reduction in common abdominal problems and prescription drug use. A
programme of clinical trials is now under way to evaluate these
potential benefits.
REX is used by people with complete spinal cord injury, as well
as people who have suffered a stroke or other traumatic brain
injury; and people with multiple sclerosis and muscular dystrophy.
REX P, for use in the home, enables users to walk and stand with
their hands free - providing more work and recreation options.
Rex Bionics has been listed on AIM since April 2014. REX is not
approved for At-Home use in the United States of America.
