REHABILITATION REIMAGINED
So Taking Steps Toward Recovery Can Happen Everywhere
Quick to get patients unweighted, simple to operate, and easy to integrate into clinical workflows. Gravitrex was designed to save time, support safe mobility training, and reduce the risk of falls, so therapists can focus on what matters most: patient progress.
GRAVITREX'S MISSION:
TO MAKE ADVANCED GAIT TRAINING AVAILABLE WHEREVER RECOVERY HAPPENS
Gravitrex CEO Kira Burns and Chief Scientific Officer Richard Burns, MD, were featured on PBS Arizona Horizon with Ted Simons, discussing how the company's breakthrough rehabilitaion technology helps oreder adults regain mobility after illness or injury.
WINNER OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON AGING (NIA) STARTUP CHALLENGE
Gravitrex received funding from the National Institute on Aging, validating the potential of its technology to improve health outcomes for older adults after hospitalizations or a fall. Research has shown that bodyweight-supported gait training is an effective intervention to improve mobility, yet most currently available devices are cost-prohibitive and limited to specialized rehabilitation centers—a hurdle that Gravitrex is working to overcome.
