CYBERDYNE Inc. of Japan are world leading innovative pioneers of AI-robotic solutions including the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL). Abdul Latif Jameel was the first to introduce HAL and ‘Cybernics Treatment’ into Saudi Arabia at Abdul Latif Jameel Rehabilitation Hospital, Jeddah, teaching Spinal Cord injury, stroke and other neuromuscular diseases patients to regain use of their limbs. Abdul Latif Jameel Health and CYBERDYNE have introduced a wholistic set of three different rehabilitation devices in Saudi Arabia Cyberdyne’s HAL- Lower Limb Type, HAL- Single Joint Type and the HAL- Lumbar Type.

HAL for Medical Use Lower Limb Type
HAL for Medical Use – Lower Limb Type is a medical device for the rehabilitation of people with disorders in the lower limbs caused by diseases such as stroke, spinal cord injury, and eight types of neuromuscular diseases. By using the unique system of “HAL” to synchronize with the wearers’ intent and strengthen the connection of their nervous system through repeated interactive biofeedback, the product aims to improve and maintain the wearers’ ability to walk. Due to the accumulation of clinical evidence, including evidence that suggests the ability to delay the progress of neuromuscular diseases such as ALS, and even temporarily improve the users’ function, the device is approved and used in over 20 countries including US, EU, and Australia. This device has also received Saudi Food and Drug Authority’s authorization.

HAL Lumbar type for Well-Being (Non-Medical)
HAL Lumbar Type for Well-being assists body trunk and lower limb training. The product comes with only 4 belts and 3 buttons, making it very easy to use. The battery powered and compactly designed device only weighs 3kg, allowing for its use in various situations such as group exercise at care facilities, or personal exercise in home care. If needed, this device can also be used by health care professionals such as physiotherapists, caregivers and nurses who undertake heavy lifting activities with exposure to musculoskeletal injuries just by switching the mode.
Certifications:
- EU CE Marking [Machinery Directive, 2006/42/EC]
- ISO 13482
