An award-winning, sensor-based, arm rehabilitation system.
Bimeo combines 5 different products into one arm rehabilitation system. Support surface closed-chain therapy in bilateral or unilateral is usually starting point for many patients. When patients improve their arm function they can continue with bilateral or unilateral therapy in free space.
Bimeo software includes more than 20 different gamified therapy scenarios.
Sensors attached to patients’ arm provide data for real-time patient assessment.
Benefits
Patient motivation
Bimeo uses virtual reality gaming to enhance patient motivation. The positive impact of virtual reality in rehabilitation is scientifically validated.
Objective assessment
The data acquired by the sensors and specific tasks enable an objective insight into the patients state and progress.
Wide therapy variety
Therapists can prescribe wide variety of therapy options: (un)supported bimanual and unimanual and isolated exercise of individual arm joints.
Ease of use
Bimeo is simple and intuitive. The therapist adjusts the therapy settings with just a few clicks on a straightforward user interface.
Short setup time
The whole process of setup and initialization is very short, taking only a minute. It is designed not to disturb the patients.
Reduced therapy costs
With the Bimeo system, one single therapist can simultaneously assist in the rehabilitation therapy of multiple patients.
Evidence based
Multiple studies prove that using sensor-based gamified therapy technologies like Bimeo can be of benefit to rehabilitation patients.
No risk of injury
The system consists of lightweight battery-powered sensors without actuators, completely eliminating the risk of injury to the patient or therapist.

Therapy Modes
Unimanual Mode
Therapy of the more affected arm in free space or gravity minimized position. Assessment and evaluation of active arm range of motion.
Bimanual Mode
Arms coupled to provide necessary assistance or resistance during movement. Assessment and evaluation of passive arm range of motion.
Isolated Arm Joint Mode
Isolated therapy of individual arm joints: shoulder, elbow, wrist. Assessment and evaluation of joint range of motion.
Unimanual Mode with Support
Therapy of the more affected arm with arm weight compensation on support surface. Assessment and evaluation of active arm range of motion.
Bimanual Mode with Support
Less affected arm assisted movements with weight compensation on support surface. Assessment and evaluation of passive arm range of motion.
Support Sphere Mode
Isolated wrist therapy with support and assessment of active joint range of motion.

"At Vesna Children's Hospital we have had Bimeo for 4 years. I like Bimeo because the children like it too, it's motivational, it's a form of play for the children. We use Bimeo Pro specifically for diagnoses where there is impaired upper extremity mobility, that is, for diagnoses of brachial plexus injury or spastic paresis as part of a cerebral palsy diagnosis. What they wouldn't otherwise practice during individual physiotherapy they can do here."
Pavla - Physiotherapist at Vesna Children's Hospital
"Over the time we have been working with Bimeo we have been receiving great feedback from our customers because this is a great technological solution that allows our therapists to conduct assessments and then focus on specific rehabilitation aspects that they couldn´t otherwise focus on as much"
