One of the common gait impairments among the elderly is reduction in trunk and pelvic rotation, which leads to increased
risk of falls and loss of independence. However, common rehabilitation devices focus mainly on leg exercise and ignore the
effect of trunk and pelvic rotation on walking. Moreover, the frail senior, as well as the neurologically impaired patient who
suffer from advanced gait impairments lack the strength to cope with leg exercises that are performed while walking.
Therefore, this population deteriorates, becomes home-bound and falls. Mopair's device, Balanseat, applies thoraco-pelvic
rotation and thighs extension to a seated user. Thus, the frail senior, as well as the neurologically impaired is expected to
find this treatment the only training modality they can cope with. Moreover, Balanseat approach is assumed to provide the
comprehensive treatment that exceeds beyond the existing leg-exercise approach. A case series with 19 frail residents from
an assisted living home demonstrated marked improvement in the functional-parameters that are correlated to fall-risk and
level of ambulation. Clinical indications from neurologically impaired patients, as well as from two home-users who use
Balanseat for more than 6 months, are similar. In parallel to the commercialization of this fundamental device, Mopair is
planning to pursue a sensor-embedded device that senses the user's capabilities and progression. Sensors' outcomes, that
enable personalization of treatment programs, will lead Mopair to fulfil its long-term vision of developing an autonomous
therapist for the frail elderly and neurologically impaired – maybe, the only modality that can survive the challenge of the
growing of Balanseat target population together with the shrinking of the healthcare resources.
Balanseat is a revolutionary solution for walking rehabilitation, reducing risk of falls and improving ambulation for older adults and neurological impaired.
