Series Production of Innovative Rehabilitation Device Started in Switzerland

OLTEN, Switzerland, June 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ –

REHA Technology AG Switzerland Manufactures Only Walking Robot in the World Capable of
Simulating Climbing Stairs

The only neuro-rehabilitation device in the world capable of simulating climbing
stairs in addition to all other types of walking is now manufactured in series production
by REHA Technology AG in Olten, Switzerland, under the name “G-EO-System”. The CE- and
FDA-certified device has been sold globally since spring this year.

The device is intended to assist patients affected by stroke, craniocerebral injury,
Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or paraplegia, in a novel and highly effective
way to re-learn his/her own motor function. The product adapts in a completely dynamic and
continuously variable way to the patient’s needs and reduces the physical strain on the
therapist.

The first few devices have already been used successfully in some rehabilitation
centres. Prof Esquenazi, M.D., head of one of the most prominent rehabilitation centres in
the United States – the “MossRehab in Philadelphia – found in his study a significantly
faster full recovery in patients using the “G-EO-System”. Further studies from Italy and
Germany also support the efficacy for the patient, the cost saving for the health
insurances, and the physical relief for the therapists.

The neuro-rehabilitation device “G-EO-System” was developed by an international team
of medical doctors, engineers, therapists, technicians, and software specialists over a
period of five years. These professionals recognized early on that stroke patients and
certain trauma patients require more support than the traditional treadmills and that
electronically controlled devices help them to utilise a significantly greater potential
for a speedy recovery.

The demand for technological electronic devices to support recovery-centred therapy
has increase exponentially since 2000. Product sales have already started in
industrialised countries. The awareness of these devices continues to increase day by day.
REHA Technology AG has secured the patent rights for the “G-EO-System” and is already
taking steps to extend its distributor network.
