HAL™ – Hybrid Assistive Limb Exoskeleton Therapy

At Neuro Robotics Rehab Center, we are proud to be among the first in Florida—and the very first in South Florida—to integrate HAL™ neurorehabilitation into inpatient care. Unlike traditional exoskeletons that simply move limbs, HAL™ (Hybrid Assistive Limb) by Cyberdyne Inc. is the only wearable robotic device clinically proven to activate neuroplasticity, helping the brain and spinal cord re-learn how to move, control, and function.

How HAL™ Works

HAL detects faint bioelectrical signals on the skin—generated by the patient’s own nervous system—and instantly translates them into real-time, assisted movements. This creates an Interactive Biofeedback (iBF) loop that reinforces correct motor patterns at the neural level, stimulating functional reorganization in the brain and spinal cord.

With HAL, the body doesn’t just move — the nervous system reengages.

Key Advantages of HAL™

• Interactive Biofeedback (iBF):

  HAL™ detects subtle bioelectrical signals from the user’s nervous system and instantly converts them into real-time movement, reactivating voluntary motor pathways and reinforcing correct movement patterns through active brain-body feedback.

• Neuroplastic Activation:

  By stimulating direct brain-to-limb communication, HAL™ promotes true neuroplastic recovery—helping the nervous system reorganize and restore function, rather than simply compensating for it.

• Broad Clinical Versatility:

  HAL™ supports a wide range of neurological and neuromuscular conditions, including spinal cord injury (complete or incomplete), stroke, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, and multiple sclerosis.

• Proven Functional Improvements:

  HAL™ has demonstrated measurable gains in:

  • Walking mechanics, balance, and gait stability
  • Muscle tone, control, and strength
  • Posture, coordination, and functional mobility
  • Autonomic function, including bladder and bowel regulation
  • Pain management, spasticity reduction, and increased motor coordination

Conditions Treated with HAL™

HAL is highly effective for patients with:

• Spinal Cord Injuries (complete and incomplete)
• Stroke
• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
• Cerebral Palsy
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Neurodegenerative movement disorders

Whether patients are relearning to stand, walk, or move with control, HAL empowers them using their own neurological signals—not robotic substitution.

What Makes HAL™ Different?

• Neuroplasticity Activation

  HAL is clinically proven to trigger brain and spinal cord recovery, not just mechanical movement. It retrains the nervous system by restoring lost neural pathways through voluntary intent-based movement.

• Interactive Biofeedback (iBF) Control

  Unlike passive or joystick-based systems, HAL responds directly to the patient’s bioelectrical signals, re-establishing the brain-body connection in real time.

• Global Clinical Validation

  Featured in the 2025 Global Spine Journal (Lui et al.), HAL was the only exoskeleton—among 10 major global competitors—proven to stimulate neuroplastic changes. It’s recognized as the EMEA Reference Center device for robotic neurorehabilitation and is used in elite centers across Japan, Europe, and now the United States.
