Company description and purpose of company Hocoma AG

Hocoma is a world leader in the development and manufacture of automated therapy devices for the rehabilitation of neurological movement disorders. The Swiss company develops its innovative therapy devices in close cooperation with international rehabilitation clinics and research centers. Hocoma was founded in 2000 as a spin-off from the Paraplegic Center at the Balgrist University Hospital by electrical engineers Gery Colombo and Matthias Jörg and economist Peter Hostettler. At the end of 2008, over 80 employees were working in the Hocoma headquarters near Zurich and in the branch in the USA. Hocoma product portfolio In the foreground of the Hocoma product portfolio is the Lokomat system. The new and globally unique device for performing automated treadmill therapies with patients with walking difficulties was developed in cooperation with the Paraplegic Center of the Balgrist University Hospital, has been on the market since 2001 and has fundamentally improved the possibilities of treadmill therapy. At the end of 2008, around 200 Lokomat systems were already in use in prestigious clinics around the world. At the beginning of 2006, Hocoma launched the Pediatric Lokomat, which is based on the Lokomat system, but was specially developed for the needs of gait therapy for children. Numerous systems have now been installed in renowned children's clinics. At Medica 2007, Hocoma presented the innovative Lokomat module "Augmented Feedback" with Virtual Reality Technology. The aim of this new Lokomat module is to increase the patient's motivation and thus to significantly improve the therapy results. Another product developed by Hocoma in collaboration with the Paraplegic Center of the Balgrist University Hospital and the Heidelberg University Hospital is the Erigo, a tilting table with an integrated leg drive. The therapy device, which came onto the market in 2005, was developed for the mobilization of neurological and bedridden patients. In November 2006, Hocoma launched the Andago, a new type of system for manually supported gait therapy that is characterized by superior ergonomics and an innovative weight relief system. This new weight relief system enables a more physiological gait training than conventional weight relief, because the inertia - in contrast to conventional relief systems - is compensated and therefore allows a more even patient relief and thus a more natural gait. Another important milestone in the expansion of the product portfolio was the market entry in the area of ​​rehabilitation of the upper extremities in 2007. In collaboration with leading researchers from the University of California Irvine and the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (USA), Hocoma AG is responsible for the commercialization of a Novel arm and hand therapy device called Armeo Spring for the rehabilitation of patients after a stroke, traumatic brain injury or with other neurological findings. The first series of devices has been in use since summer 2007.
