Strictly Confidential © MoRoW Ltd 2013 … priority …. greatest clinical demands within the NHS … greatest cause of adult disability in the UK … direct cost to the NHS is £2.8 billion a year with a wider cost to the economy and informal care of over £7 billion Stroke patients occupy 20-25% of hospital beds … pressure to mobilise patients as soon as possible Over 150,000 people per year have a stroke in UK … 85% of those who require rehabilitation are initially unable to walk and / or stand without help US & EU, over 3 million people will have a stroke each year … … incidence is increasing globally with improved life expectancy Stroke

11. Strictly Confidential © MoRoW Ltd 2013 Early stage stroke rehabilitation is labour intensive, requires large spaces and can be undignified The more therapy, the better the recovery of independence The amount of therapy is limited high staff costs and limited space Current technological solutions are problematic and do not offer natural sit-to-stand or gait training
12. Strictly Confidential © MoRoW Ltd 2013 Intensive practice of functional tasks is key to recovery To learn to walk – practice walking
13. Strictly Confidential © MoRoW Ltd 2013 Current products are often avoided by clinicians as they do not allow the stroke patient to stand or walk naturally Existing products are too large, too expensive or do not address the fundamental biomechanical needs There is no combined device for sit-to-stand, balance and gait training that is suitable for the current market

17. Strictly Confidential © MoRoW Ltd 2013 Head moves forwards then up and back Hips follow an “S” pathway Knee moves backwards Our device enables the patient to experience the required amount of assistance when getting into the standing position The pathway that the patient’s limbs and upper body takes is natural and will help them to re-learn how to do it themselves Walking requires a complex series of movements including pelvis rotation and positioning Natural Biomechanics Natural gait
18. Strictly Confidential © MoRoW Ltd 2013 An early stage prototype was the start point for the project Patient, carer and clinical consultations have lead to the incorporation of the sit-to-stand actuators & also pairs of actuators that will motorise the patient’s ankles The combination of the ankle actuators, the support harness and the independent actuators that are connected at the hips will ensure natural gait training – i.e. pelvic rotation, knee positioning, heel strike & foot lift-off This approach is subject to a patent application The MoRoW II Design
