  2. Walk-care Formally founded in November 2006. The founders privately designed, developed and built a fully functioning prototype. The project was approved for funding by the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor (Chief scientist) , through the "Tnufa" fund. In 2007 Walk-Care joined the Shizim Group and won 1stplacein the “Life Science Start-Up Competition 2007”. Walk–Care’s Vision: An improved quality of life for paraplegic and allmotorically disabled people.

  3. The Team • Jacob Gabel – Founder, CEO and R&D Manager • Adi Wolenfeld - Founder and CTO • Yossi Bornstein – Director CEO of Shizim and LSA; Founder of ILSI (Israel Life Science Industry); Former General Manager of Bristol-Myers Squibb Israel. • Advisory Board: [ in process] • Efi Shnaidman Former CEO of Boston Scientific Israel. • Major- General (Res.) Doron Almog Founder of Aleh-Negev rehabilitation center.

  4. MUST acquire walking ability again ! MUST have daily walking exercise ! The unmet Need Group 1: Paraplegics. Group 2: Patients in need for Rehabilitation.

  5. The Clinical Aspect • Upstanding position benefits: • Inner organs. • Prevention of osteoporosis. • Vertical blood circulation. • Prevention of pressure wounds. • Body image.

  6. The Clinical Aspect (Continued) : • Benefits of daily exercise via actual walking: • Prevents muscle & bone degeneration. • Prevents general deterioration (e.g. spasm). • Enables progressive weight-load on feet. • Strengthensleg muscles (iso-kineticexercises). • Improvesperipheral nervous system. • Keeps patient "in-shape“.

  7. Lying down Sitting Standing Walking Sitting Walk-Care’s Solution: A Self-operated system that combineswalking exercise with mobilization ,for paraplegics and motorically disabled people. Note: The system is not disclosed in the above illustrations.

  8. WALK-CARE– the system. • The design approach:a. Basic configuration. • b. A variety of upgrading options and accessories. • The basic configuration[ already in existence ] provides a comprehensive solution to users in need of: • 1. Walking rehabilitation in a perfectly safe environment. • Full mobilization, seated or in an upstanding position. .2 • Unassisted transfer from sitting to standing and vice versa. .3 • Full control on body load put on users legs. .4 • Safe transfer from bed to the devise and back. .5 • Self harnessing within seconds. .6 • All above functions are user-available with no need for assistance, via a devise that is highly affordable to private purchasers. • Upgradingoptions and accessories [All basic system’s capabilities are entirely preserved]. • A walking system that enables paralyzed persons [ all levels of disability ], .1 • to actually walk at will on their own legs, without any assistance [ already in existence ].. • A full lying down configuration at will [already designed ]. .2 • 3. Specially designed upholstery & padding which prevent pressure wounds. • A parallel second control panel to be used by care-takers or nurses, when needed .4 • A service table for daily functioning [working, eating etc…] , [ already in existence ]. .5 • A light roof-rack and head-lights for out-door mobility. .6 • 7. Special controllers for Quadriplegics [voice-command, blow-pipe etc…]. • Variable wheels and suspensions to meet different terrains. .8 • 9. Storage compartments for special systems [Oxygen, communication etc].

  9. NOTE: A video of the fullyfunctioning prototype , is available for presentation by appointment.

  10. Features: Shift from sitting to an up standing position. 0-100% weight-load adjustment on user’s legs. User’s control over recline angle. A unique user-interface enables self-harnessing. High stability and safety. A full lying down configuration. Compactness & collapsibility.

  11. Benefits: Performs unassisted walking rehabilitation & exercises. A full indoors & outdoors mobility (seated or upstanding). Shifts to an up standing position without assistance. Prevents pressure wounds. Enables self-harnessing within seconds. Enables safe & easy transfer to bed and from bed. Affordable to private consumers.

  12. Intellectual Property International WO patent filed: “An Exercise, Rehabilitation and Mobilization Device” Currently at the national phase.
