G Gaiter trains people who lose mobility due to stroke, spinal injury, accidents, Parkinson’s disease, and similar conditions to recover faster with minimal dependency on others, the statement said.
Afsal Muttikkal said that within a short span of time, G Gaiter has proved to be the most effective tool for the rehabilitation of individuals who have lost mobility due to various conditions.
Genrobotics also secured the Medicall Made in India Innovation 2023 Golden Award for G Gaiter earlier in July this year, Muttikkal added.
Genrobotics is currently collaborating with major hospital chains in India, including Aster, to deploy the G Gaiter robotic gait trainer in their Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation departments.
The technology has the approval of the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation, the national regulator for medical devices, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, the statement further said.
Recently, the Thiruvananthapuram General Hospital has become the first government hospital in the country to deploy G Gaiter.
The state government plans to deploy G Gaiter at its medical college hospitals in Kozhikode, Thrissur, and Kottayam.
