Research and Development of Rehabilitation Robotics in Poland

Abstract

The market of rehabilitation robots has been recording slow, but steady growth for several years and this trend is expected to continue. Therefore, more and more commercial companies offering complete solutions have been entering the market and a new separate branch within the medical devices manufacturing industry can now be distinguished. Moreover, global leaders among rehabilitation robot suppliers can be identified. Nevertheless, there is still room for new companies operating locally for the benefit of their communities. An adequate research & development base and the advancement of R&D works are necessary for the development of rehabilitation robot manufacturing in new countries. This article presents the situation in this field in Poland.
