About
Piyavate Hospital’s Robotic Rehabilitation Center in Bangkok is a pioneering facility that utilizes advanced robotic technology to assist in the rehabilitation of patients with movement impairments due to various conditions. This center is notable for being the first in Thailand to incorporate robotic systems into rehabilitation practices. These robotic technologies are designed to aid recovery by providing repetitive movement practice, which is crucial for the relearning of motor skills after neurological injuries such as strokes or spinal cord injuries.
The center combines robotic systems with traditional physical therapy techniques to tailor rehabilitation processes that meet the specific needs of each patient. This approach not only helps improve physical capabilities but also enhances the efficiency of the rehabilitation process, allowing for potentially faster recovery times

What is HAL® Exoskeleton?
The HAL® Exoskeleton is an external wearable suit that enhances mobility for individuals with movement impairments. It is developed by Cyberdyne Inc., Japan and is made from lightweight, durable materials. This technology is known as Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL®) and is used at Piyavate Hospital’s Rehabilitation Center.
How HAL® Works
- HAL® is equipped with sensors that detect bioelectric signals sent from the brain to the muscles.
- These signals appear on the surface of the skin and are captured by the sensors.
- The information is then transmitted to a processing unit located at the wearer’s waist.
- The system interprets the signals and activates the exoskeleton to move in the intended direction.
Benefits of HAL® Rehabilitation
- The muscle-generated nerve signals are sent back to the brain, stimulating motor control areas.
- Research shows that HAL® therapy enhances muscle strength and walking patterns significantly.
- Patients reduce dependence on walking aids and experience safer, more stable movement.
Who Can Benefit from HAL® Therapy?
HAL® is designed to compensate for lost leg muscle strength, making it ideal for patients who still have some neural control over their legs, including:
- Patients with Neuromuscular Disorders
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Huntington’s Disease
- Genetic Muscular Dystrophies
- Elderly Patients with Muscle Weakness
- Stroke survivors
- Brain and spinal cord injury patients
- Post-Surgical Patients Recovering from Injuries
- Individuals undergoing muscle rehabilitation after surgery or trauma
- Patients with Brain and Head Injuries
- Those recovering from traumatic brain injuries
