Placing You at the Centre of Care

C-Mill VR(+)

The cutting-edge balance and gait treadmill

What is it?

The C-Mill VR and C-Mill VR+ are advanced rehabilitation tools designed to enhance functional balance, gait and gait adaptability. They combine an instrumented treadmill with augmented and virtual reality, providing a safe and engaging training environment. Patients can practise walking and balance in scenarios designed to reflect everyday activities, helping develop functional mobility and independence. Both models feature augmented reality projections, a virtual reality screen, safety harness and handrails, alongside a range of gait and balance applications. The C-Mill VR+ also has an optional built-in bodyweight support system, which can provide additional support during training where appropriate. Both systems offer objective assessment capabilities, allowing clinicians to measure and monitor aspects of gait and balance during rehabilitation.
What is Augmented and Virtual Reality?
The C-Mill VR and C-Mill VR+ use augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) to enhance your rehabilitation. AR overlays digital images or sounds onto the real world, while VR immerses you in a completely virtual environment. These technologies help create more engaging and varied training exercises, tailored to your specific needs.

C-Mill for Neurological and Orthopedic Rehabilitation

The C-Mill is an effective tool for treating a range of conditions that affect balance, gait, and mobility, including stroke and other neurological or orthopaedic conditions. It’s particularly beneficial for conditions like stroke, enabling patients to work on balance, gait, and adaptability. The system uses AR and VR to simulate everyday scenarios, such as walking among a crowd or navigating obstacles, helping patients regain functional mobility. Its ability to assess both static and dynamic balance and monitor gait patterns in real-time helps clinicians tailor rehabilitation programs effectively.

Conditions We Use It For

The C-Mill integrates AR and VR to create a dynamic and immersive rehabilitation experience. AR overlays digital images and sounds onto the real world, while VR fully immerses patients in a virtual environment. This combination allows for customised therapy that mimics real-life situations, such as walking through crowded areas or avoiding obstacles. The C-Mill also includes features like bodyweight support (BWS) for early rehabilitation phases, and precise data collection tools that track and assess patients’ gait patterns, balance, and overall progress, giving clinicians a clear picture of how the patient is performing.
C-Mill rehabilitation can be incorporated into your wider rehabilitation programme or used as part of outpatient therapy, depending on your individual needs and goals. The C-Mill VR and C-Mill VR+ are available at selected Hobbs Rehabilitation locations. Your treating therapist will assess whether C-Mill rehabilitation is appropriate for you during your initial assessment and consider how it can be incorporated into your programme as you progress.
