The device offers a lightweight, portable, and cost-effective rehabilitation solution compared to large and expensive robotic rehabilitation systems. Its modular wearable exoskeleton and chair-based design enable flexible therapy modes, while adjustable mechanisms ensure suitability for Malaysian body dimensions and community-based rehabilitation settings.

Access to continuous physiotherapy is limited in Malaysia due to high treatment costs, limited therapists, and insufficient rehabilitation facilities, especially for B40 and non-PERKESO patients. Many patients cannot receive consistent lower-limb therapy, slowing recovery. A portable, affordable rehabilitation device is needed to support structured therapy and improve accessibility.

The system uses adjustable joint modules integrated into a lightweight wearable exoskeleton and rehabilitation chair to guide controlled lower limb motion. Users perform repetitive flexion–extension exercises within safe ranges. The quick-release mechanism ensures safe donning and doffing, while the ergonomic design supports rehabilitation training for patients with limited mobility.

The project provides an automated lower-limb rehabilitation system combining a wearable exoskeleton and assistive chair to support controlled therapy exercises. It enables safe, structured rehabilitation for patients with limited mobility, offering a more accessible and cost-effective solution for improving recovery outcomes.
