BIONIK Laboratories Reports 15-20% Increase in Therapeutic Gains on InMotion® Robotic Devices in New Patient Outcomes Data Report.
About this update from Bionik Laboratories Corp.
[{"type":"text","content":"\nBIONIK Laboratories Corp. (OTCQB:BNKL) (\"BIONIK\" or the \"Company\"), a robotics company focused on providing rehabilitation and assistive technology solutions to individuals with neurological and mobility challenges from hospital to home, today announced the release of a new whitepaper, Using IoT Data to Quantify InMotion® Therapy Gains on Upper Extremity Motor Impairments, detailing the significant clinical effects of InMotion Robotic technology on patient recovery. In the report, patients utilizing InMotion® robotic devices measured upwards of 15-20% improvement over a 14-day time-frame. The new data suggests additional sessions with InMotion® robots improve a patient’s ability to move more smoothly, with intention, and in a controlled manner.\n\nBIONIK’s products of InMotion® Robots for rehabilitation following stroke and other neurological conditions help patients to regain arm and hand movement. The reported clinical gains highlighted in the whitepaper show greater therapeutic gains associated with an increase of InMotion® therapy sessions for patients suffering from upper-extremity motor impairments. For all metrics measured, patients who had three or more sessions within a 14-day period had improved at least 8% more than patients who had two sessions, who also experienced an increase in improvements, which furthers the case for continued use of the InMotion technology. For some metrics, the increase in improvement was even higher, including:\n\n\n15.1% increase in improvement of Smoothness, which is defined by the measure of the smoothness in the velocity of arm movement. Smoothness is important for tasks such as independent feeding and cooking.\n\n\n17% increase in improvement with Movement Efficiency, or the ratio of the total distance of the patient’s movement path with respect to the straight-line distance between the targets. A larger value indicates a greater ability to directly move between two points.\n\n\n18.1% increase in improvement with Motion Jerk, the time derivative of acceleration. Motion jerk is an indication of the patient’s control of arm motion and ability to produce smooth movement.\n\n\n19.7% increase in Mean Velocity, the velocity of a patient’s movement from target to target.\n\n\n“Asset utilization is a priority for both hospital an...
