THE BEGINING OF HOPE INQUIRE TEAM Cyberdyne HAL® TESTIMONIAL HOME WHAT IS CYBERDYNE HAL ® ? ____ HAL Exoskeleton is a medical rehabilitation device fitted to the outside of the body and gives the wearer additional functional support. Cyberdyne HAL ® is manufactured by the Japanese company Cyberdyne™ and is made of special light yet sturdy plastic and are known under the name Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL ® ). Cyberdyne HAL HAL ® THERAPY: THE PRINCIPAL ____ The robotic suit HAL ® is the only approved system of its kind that traps the electrical signals of the brain via the skin surface of the lower limbs and supports them in a motorized manner. The movement is thus a controlled activity deliberately desired by the patient. The positive feedback is sent back from muscles to the brain. During the rehabilitation period using HAL ® Therapy the musculature gets built up, the walking pattern improves significantly, becomes safer an walking aids can be reduced. ____ During the HAL ® Therapy, impulses from the leg muscles are sent back to the brain. In this manner, a so called neuromuscular feedback is created that causes activation of the cerebral area responsible. The overall condition improves considerably. NEUROMUSCULAR FEEDBACK BROAD SPECTRUM ____ Because HAL ® exoskeletons compensate for the missing power of the legs, the HAL ® Therapy is aimed at a wide group of patients with walking disabilities, who still have some residual functions in their legs since the patient can only steer the robot, if neural impulses on the surface of the skin can be intercepted. The Hybrid Assistive Limb can be used, under certain circumstances, in the rehabilitation of the following conditions: Spinal cord injury Stroke Traumatic brain injury Multiple Sclerosis Neurodegenerative diseases Neuromuscular diseases ____ Increased walking speed Reduced need for medical aids Improved skin sensation Reduction of spasticity Reduction in neuropathic pain Strengthening of the muscles Stimulation of the affected brain regions RESULTS OF HAL ® THERAPY For example patients with spinal cord injury normally train with the system for 12 weeks, 5 times per week. During this rehab period using HAL ® exoskeleton, many key treatment goals can be achieved. For example, the leg muscles are built up, gait is improved significantly and feels steadier. Scientific studies have shown the following additional improvement: Cyberdyne across the globe: - Japan - USA - Saudi Arabia - Malaysia - India - Australia - Philippines - Thailand - Indonesia ALJ HOSPITAL PRESENTS HAL® THERAPY ____ WORKING HOURS Sunday to Thursday: 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday : Off Saturday: 10:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. VISITING HOURS Sunday to Thursday: 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday : Off Saturday: 10:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. 76 Bed spaces 8 Wards 23 Outpatient clinics CBAHI ACHI CBAHI 1/2 Get an appointment TESTIMONIAL TESTIMONIAL Abdulrahman Al Zahrani TEAM TEAM Dr. Youssef AbdulRahman Orthopedic Specialist and the CEO of ALJ Hospital Abdul Majeed Mehrz Head of Rehabilitation Certified Cyberdyne HAL Instructor Majed Al Ghamdi Sr. Physiotherapist Certified Cyberdyne HAL Instructor INQUIRE Contact us for Cyberdyne Inquiries _____ For Central & Eastern Regions Name Email Phone Write a message Upload File Upload supported file (Max 15MB) Submit Thanks for submitting!

Why choose ALJH As our country grows and changes, so do our patients’ needs. There has been a sharp rise in sports and fitness, accompanied with increasing awareness on the value of holistic health beyond solely relying on traditional medical definitions. ALJH’s treatment encourages lifestyle changes that support long-term health rather than turning simply to “quick fixes”—both decreasing healthcare spending and avoiding unnecessary surgeries. ALJH recognizes that quality of life is just as important a metric as quantity of life; we dedicate ourselves to directing individuals towards achieving an independent and fulfilling life. "He [AbdulLatif Jameel] didn't let anyone leave without solving their problem, he was wise when treating people. When he'd get upset with me, he would just advise me 'may God guide you'. I would tell him: 'you worked on projects all over the world; America, Egypt, Britain, and I would just like to know how?' He told me: 'honesty and trustworthiness’. We were traveling to France, Switzerland and Britain, then he told me: 'why not start an elderly home and we can go there ourselves?' All he cared about was development; he was tired thinking about it.” Amm Ahmad, Shaikh AbdulLatif Jameel's Personal Nurse, and current ALJH nurse. Leaders in the Rehabilitative Industry Patients think that they would like to walk. HAL Robot reads neural signal through stickers on the skin. HAL responds by moving the legs, according to the patients’ thoughts. The brain receives feedback and relearns how to respond to neural signals. The patient starts walking without the use of the robot. Accessible Wellness to All The ALJ Group always seeks sustainable ways to make necessary services, like healthcare, accessible to all. That’s why ALJ Hospital has chosen not to be a charity organization but rather a non-profit linked to the ALJ Charity Desk. This means that patients who can afford treatment pay for themselves, enabling the hospital to invest in the best technology and caregivers available. Whereas, any patient who can provide documentation to support that they are unable to cover expenses, are redirected to the ALJ Charity Desk to possibly cover treatment costs. Some patients may also be linked with volunteers and sponsors with the help of the social work department. As leaders in the rehabilitative industry, ALJ Hospital is always the first to introduce cutting edge technologies to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and to the Middle East. Our latest addition is the Hybrid Assistive Limb [HAL] from Cyberdine, brought all the way from Japan to the Middle East by ALJH. HAL is the world’s first cyborg-type robot. It helps patients with spinal cord injuries relearn how to walk. Here’s how it works: ​
