Ascend from Roam Robotics uses robotics and proprietary algorithms to improve the mobility of patients with knee pain and significantly improve their daily lives

San Francisco, December 7, 2021/PRNewswire/ - Roam Robotics, a company leading the expansion of human mobility through wearable robotics, today announced the San Francisco VA Healthcare System (SFVAHCS) and the Northern California Institute and Education (NCIRE) ) Has begun to recruit patients to study the impact of Ascend on the veteran population, which is a first-of-its-kind smart brace.

Ascend from Roam Robotics is a smart knee orthosis designed to relieve knee pain and intuitively support daily activities. Previous clinical studies of knee osteoarthritis participants showed that after using the device, pain was reduced by an average of 46%, and 67% of people showed functional improvement. Ascend is the first wearable robotic device that is useful in daily life for people with knee pain, who want to regain independence and lead a more active lifestyle. Ascend is also registered as a Class I medical device by the FDA.

"I am very happy to be able to evaluate Roam Robotics' Ascend powered knee pads on veterans with knee osteoarthritis, who experience considerable knee pain during daily activities," said Dr. Alfred Kuo, Director of Orthopedic Surgery at VA Health in San Francisco. System "The rate of veterans suffering from knee arthritis and other musculoskeletal diseases is higher than that of the general population. For many of these patients, especially those with moderate disease, we do not have good treatment options. The Ascend branch has the potential to be significant. To improve pain, stability and function."

Ascend provides a non-opioid and non-surgical solution to relieve pain and increase stability while performing common exercises such as walking, kneeling, standing, sitting, and up and down steps. Sujit Dike, Vice President of Roam Robotics, said: "Roam's technology has previously been proven to be beneficial for all kinds of patients suffering from knee pain, quadriceps weakness or instability. "We have this partnership with San Francisco VA. The relationship is very excited. It can further verify the potential impact of Roam technology in solving the huge and growing challenges faced by the veteran population".

Tim Swift, CEO and founder of Roam, said: “Roam focuses on large-scale markets with low service levels. More than 20% of the world’s population is limited by physical activity. As medical advances help people live longer, this number is only It will increase.". "Our wearable robotic approach works seamlessly with the human body to help people live healthier, happier, and more active lives without being affected by physical limitations."

Roam Robotics is committed to helping millions of people transcend their current physical boundaries and expand their ability to engage in activities they love. Roam was founded by Dr. Tim Swift in 2013. He dreams of developing lightweight, low-cost, wearable robotic devices that can be easily integrated into daily life. Roam's proprietary technology produces an unparalleled power-to-weight ratio, using scalable manufacturing technology and using innovative wearable robotics technology to improve and extend the boundaries of human mobility.
