Who We Are

Thor Assistive Technologies now offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of Rehab Hub products in the UK, bringing cutting edge devices from around the world to clinicians and patients in the UK. Each product is fully backed by training, handover, and continuous service and maintenance to ensure the highest standards and effective recovery.

Enhancing Rehabilitation Through Robotic Therapy

With over 20 years' experience in the Medical Device industry working with Specialist products including Powered and Manual Wheelchairs, Special controls and home integration plus Robotic Exoskeletons and Assistive devices, our team understand Rehabilitation and its rapidly changing landscape. Supported by our training and engineering team, THOR Assistive Technologies are looking to bring a range of Rehabilitation Robotics and related technology to the UK
Rehabilitation is necessary, but few individuals enjoy the process, which is time-consuming, labour-intensive, and challenging work for all involved. Robotic therapy adds new possibilities for many challenges and offers new opportunities for both Physical and Neurological injuries and acquired illnesses. With pressure on staffing, time and skills, Robotic rehabilitation offers new methods and supports traditional rehabilitation practice. The key is intensive rehab and high repetition. Physiotherapists will achieve more if they have more time when there is no more time available, what you can achieve in the time allowed becomes the opportunity to improve outcomes.

When utilising technology in this way, data collection gives the Patient and the Therapist the ability to see the progress being made from session to session, week to week. This aspect is key to Motivation which is a significant factor when looking at recovery. The Patient, especially when achieving each session, sees the data and results will drive them to achieve even more.
