HUBER®

With its motorized platform and handles equipped with force sensors, HUBER 360® EVOLUTION helps you to support yourself, become more confident in your movements, and bear your weight better on your feet while strengthening your muscles (upper and lower limbs, torso). HUBER 360® EVOLUTION makes you concentrate and increases effectiveness by having you follow the target on the screen. In this way, you are able to develop your cognitive abilities as well as your physical abilities. It provides a means to counter the different debilitating effects that these diseases can cause, so you can quickly get back to doing everyday activities.

TESTIMONIAL

In addition to overall muscular strengthening, training with the HUBER® system offers targeted and specific proprioception and balance exercises. Remarkably intense stimulation of psychomotor functions has also been noted. The walking speed of patients with multiple sclerosis improved after only ten HUBER® workouts.” Dr. Benoît Maertens.
