The first model was built on an aluminum frame in order to test the feasibility of a computer
controlled range of motion, power and velocity of the Assisting Sleeve design. The outcome
of these experiments is the OR that is been developed to become a stand alone product yet
vital database is collected all the time on behalves of the future development of the
Assisting Sleeve.

The Assistive capabilities of the OR will be incorporated in the development of the company’
s future vision – the ‘Assistive Sleeve’.
Properties:
The assistive mode was planned to enable every day living functions by controlled
amplification of the patient’s force, velocity and range of motion.
A revolutionary assistive device using a unique technology to retrieve the patient his
independence.
Reduces the cost of expensive welfare services
Enables to patient to restore his self esteem
Enables reintegration in the work force.
The Assisting Sleeve is an ADL Amplifier
Functional innovation
Mobile lightweight system enabling amplification of force, velocity and range of motion in
an interactive process allowing elementary routine actions.
Technological innovation
Using the company’s development of an “Artificial Muscle” – Bidirectional actuator, flexible,
high weight to power ratio, based on a unique hydraulic system.
Signal processing control unit enabling control and collaboration between different motion
vectors and velocity.
