*Chronic stage
Chronic stage is a stage where one would conduct rehabs that aims to maintain or improve the functions or ADLs that was acquired during acute and recovery stages. Rehabs in this stage will be done to improve QOL.
Coordination on “Neuro HALFIT at Home”
The Group offers “Neuro HALFIT at Home” as a contactless service that could be practiced at home, which could contribute on chronic stage rehabilitation and prevention of frailty. The Group believes it is especially useful in the current situation where individuals must refrain from going outside of their house due to the spreading of new coronavirus, which could lead to lack of opportunity to work out and reduction of exercise load. The HAL device synchronizes with Cyberdyne’s cloud, enabling it to visualize information of bioelectrical signals and postures etc., which could help users to retrieve visual feedback and also receive remote support from their trainers/therapists. This alliance between the two company could realize greater quality of home program for customers who have difficulty visiting the center frequently.
