NextStep Robotics

NextStep Robotics has a clear purpose, which is to combine robotics and information technology to prevent falls and falls-related injuries that are due to foot drop. Our purpose is achieved by improving voluntary control of the affected ankle. Our signature device, the AMBLE, is designed to provide step-by-step graded assistance that over time, is progressively reduced as the patient’s foot drop severity improves. Unlike substitutive devices like prostheses, our device is intended to alleviate the workload of physical therapists while maximizing mobility outcomes for patients with foot drop.
