First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a portable robot-assisted device could improve knee rehabilitation better than traditional bodyweight exercises. Twelve people with knee injuries (like ACL tears) used either the device or standard rehab for 6 weeks. Researchers measured muscle strength, flexibility, and pain to see which method worked best.
