This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), supports the development of a lightweight robotic telerehabilitation device with integrated blood flow restriction for patients with musculoskeletal conditions.

The $613,744 award will fund the creation of a device that provides motorized exercise modes coupled with blood flow restriction to enhance the effectiveness of low-load exercise for patients recovering from lower limb orthopedic injuries or surgery, such as knee replacements and ligament repairs. The device will allow patients to undergo rehabilitation exercises at home while remotely monitored by their care team, reducing the need for in-person physical therapy sessions and associated costs. Key project goals include evaluating the device's safety and efficacy through pilot usability studies and a larger clinical trial. Successful commercialization of this technology could significantly lower recovery costs, improve patient outcomes, and reduce the logistical burden for some of the most common surgical procedures in the U.S.
