Neurorehabilitation Devices Market Overview

The neurorehabilitation devices market is rapidly evolving, fueled by advancements in technology and an expanding demand for effective rehabilitation solutions. The rising incidence of strokes and other neurodegenerative disorders among the global population further propels the growth of the market. As per an article titled "Assessing the perception of Parkinson's disease in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia among the visitors of a public campaign: before and after survey," published in April 2024, the prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) in Saudi Arabia has been estimated to be 27 per 100,000 population. With aging, the likelihood of developing neurodegenerative conditions increases. This necessitates a robust rehabilitation framework to address the distinctive challenges faced by these individuals, including mobility issues, balance problems, and cognitive decline. Neurorehabilitation devices play a crucial role in improving the quality of life for people suffering from PD. These devices can assist with physical therapy, improve motor skills, and provide cognitive training.

According to an article titled "Stroke care in MENA: challenges, progress, and promising pathways," published in May 2023, in the country, between 8,000 and 10,000 individuals experience a stroke annually. Neurorehabilitation devices are critical for stroke recovery, addressing motor impairments, leveraging innovative technologies, and enhancing patient engagement through immersive therapies. In addition, as healthcare providers increasingly adopt innovative solutions to enhance patient outcomes, the neurorehabilitation devices market is poised for significant growth in the future.

Neurorehabilitation Devices Market: Strategic Insights

Neurorehabilitation Devices Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growing Number of Clinical Studies on Neurorehabilitation Devices

Clinical studies validate the safety and effectiveness of newly developed neurorehabilitation devices. They provide evidence that neurorehabilitation devices help enhance the quality of life of patients with neurological diseases. These studies encourage healthcare centers to integrate these devices into their treatment programs. For instance, "Clinical Study of a Wearable Remote Rehabilitation Training System for Patients with Stroke: Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial" was published in February 2023. The clinical study aimed to design a remote intelligent rehabilitation training system based on wearable devices and human-computer interaction training tasks and evaluate its safety and efficiency.

Researchers at the University of Kansas Medical Center are studying wearable technology as part of a national stroke recovery clinical trial. Experts are testing the effectiveness of wearable devices that stimulate electromagnetic energy in the brain and spinal cord, which may help decrease disability after a stroke.

In December 2022, a clinical trial study, "Effects of robotic rehabilitation using the Erigo device on patients with neurological injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials," was published. The trial studied the effects of the Erigo robotic rehabilitation device on patients with neurological injury based on parameters such as safety, muscle strength, spasticity, functionality, gait/balance, and changes in the level of consciousness. The study concluded that Erigo, as a robotic rehabilitation device, is safe for patients with acquired brain injury and can reduce spasticity in patients with stroke. Thus, the increasing number of clinical studies on neurorehabilitation devices favors the growth of the market worldwide.

Strategic Initiatives by Market Players

Strategic initiatives taken by market players, such as mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, and collaborations, are likely to accelerate innovation, develop expertise, and expand market reach.

In April 2022, Blackrock Neurotech partnered with Phantom Neuro, a neurotech startup, to carry out research and development for Phantom Neuro's patent-pending Phantom X system, which offers patients highly accurate, almost real-time control of current and next-generation assistive devices, such as prosthetics and exoskeletons. This R&D partnership allows Phantom to use Blackrock's decades of experience in neurotechnology and develop biocompatible implantable sensors to bolster the Phantom X platform.

In December 2022, Ekso Bionics—a leader in exoskeleton technology for medical use—announced the acquisition of the Human Motion and Control ("HMC") Business Unit from Parker Hannifin Corporation. This acquisition will enhance Ekso's product portfolio and improve its strategic relationships with commercial and research partners such as Vanderbilt University. The partnership with Vanderbilt is expected to enhance its research capabilities and product development.

Thus, the strategic initiatives taken by the market players are likely to create lucrative opportunities for the neurorehabilitation market in the near future.
