Join Frank Long, Editorial Director of Rehab Management and Physical Therapy Products, as he speaks with Hermano Igo Krebs, PhD, Chief Science Officer and Director, Bionik Laboratories.
What do the American Heart Association, VA, and Department of Defense know about brain injury recovery?
They know robotic training reduces the costs of treatment while significantly improving care. That is why they endorse InMotion from Bionik Laboratories, a system that provides assistance-as-needed to individuals recovering from neurological injury.
Born from thinking at MIT
Hermano Igo Krebs, PhD, professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is chief architect of InMotion. The principles of neuroplasticity guided his design of this system with input from clinicians at leading rehabilitation facilities.
Hear Dr. Krebs break down the science that shows how InMotion makes precise, quantitative measurements. Discover how InMotion helps therapists see deficits clearly to improve outcomes, contain the cost of providing care, and establish prestige among organizations that use it.

Hermano Krebs, PhD, MS, is a Principal Research Scientist and Lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Newman Laboratory for Biomechanics and Human Rehabilitation. He also holds affiliate positions as an Adjunct Professor at University of Maryland School of Medicine, Department of Neurology and in the Division of Rehabilitative Medicine, as a Visiting Professor at Fujita Health University, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Japan, as a Visiting Professor at Newcastle University, Institute of Neuroscience, UK, and as a Visiting Professor at Osaka University, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Japan.
Dr. Krebs is a pioneer in the design, development, clinical use, and research of robots used to administer rehabilitation therapy to patients with neurological injury and was recognized as such with the prestigious Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) INABA Technical Award for Innovation leading to Production in 2015. This award recognizes original innovative research and concepts that have evolved into commercialized products. In 2014, Dr. Krebs became was nominated as Fellow of the IEEE for his contributions to rehabilitation robotics and the understanding of neuro-rehabilitation.
Dr. Krebs holds numerous foundational patents for the use of robotic technology in rehabilitation and has been published in more than 200 peer-reviewed scientific and clinical publications.
