MetaGait is an innovative mobility rehabilitation device that imitates patients’ gait, preventing at least 30 different diseases caused by immobility.  

MetaGait:

• Enables remote rehabilitation via special sensors, 
• Creates a virtual environment, constantly adapting to the patients’ needs, 
• Helps form new neural connections in the brain, activating muscle memory. 

Many of our war soldiers lost their mobility due to various injuries, and their health condition is getting worse. 

Because of immobility, they are at risk of getting at least 30 different diseases, including

• venous stasis, 
• cardiovascular diseases, 
• sensory systems disorders, 
• decubitus ulcer,
• hypostatic pneumonia, etc.

David Osipyan

After the Four-Day War (2016), kinesiologist David Arsenyan started treating wounded soldiers and developing the initial version of MetaGait.

After founding the QaylTech company, David and his team continued working on the development of the device to help our veterans with mobility issues. They have obtained positive results thus far. 

Today, their hard work has paid off. They have created the world’s first innovative MetaGait device. 

This innovative solution has had positive effects on the development of a functional gait pattern in children with cerebral palsy and brain & spinal cord injuries.

Children can move all the components of the device with just one hand, at the same time moving all the parts of the body.

If we really want to help, we must unite and support David and his team in building 35 MetaGait devices. The devices will be provided to the patients and rehabilitation centers most urgently in need.

If we want to support our soldiers and children and help them return to their ordinary lives, then we must support the MetaGait project.

Production, transportation and maintenance costs are included

Funds for 

• Helps restore the mobility of war-injured soldiers.
• Promotes a functional gait pattern development in children with cerebral palsy.
• Allows the use in a vertical position.
• Enables patients to do physical therapy at home, and doctors can remotely track the therapy.
• Includes sensors to collect data on number of steps, distance, and calories burnt.
• Solves the issue of soldiers’ lack of socialization. Through the therapy, they can play VR games with other players.
• Ensures entertainment during the therapy.
• Includes VR games that activate the muscle memory of the brain and form new neural connections.
• Game scenes are adapted, depending on the muscle group the patient needs to work on.
• Contributes to the development of virtual tourism in Armenia by taking patients to Tatev Monastery; St. Ghazanchetsots Cathedral, Lake Sevan and other sites will be added soon
• Can be sold in a global market in the future.

In order to implement the project, we must unite and support David and his team in building 35 MetaGait devices. The devices will be provided to the patients most urgently in need of rehabilitation.

• MetaGait is patented in Armenia.
• The device was presented at the Arab Health 2022 Exhibition in Dubai, and attracted great interest from visitors from the USA, UAE, EEU, India, Middle East, and Europe. 
• The MetaGait team took second place at the Startup Summit in Dubai.
• The team participated in the ArmHighTech Exhibition.
• The initial version of the device is currently used in various rehabilitation centers in Armenia and Artsakh.

Thanks to the device, Davit Melikbekyan, one of our veterans, started walking again.

QaylTech united different professionals, including kinesiologists, neurologists, rehabilitation therapists, physicians, engineers, programmers, 3D modeling specialists, and virtual reality specialists.

They have all dedicated their lives to this important cause, being in constant contact with patients and rehabilitation centers, to follow up on the work of MetaGait and the results produced thus far.

How does MetaGait help improve health?

The device has a dynamic effect on the musculoskeletal system, reduces the risk for osteoporosis, stimulates the respiratory system, improves blood circulation, prevents urinary tract infections and degeneration, improves joint mobility, and boosts patients’ psychological and emotional state.

How is MetaGait controlled?

The device is controlled by the sensors, control panels, and an Oculus Quest 2 device

designed by QaylTech.

Is MetaGait an innovation in the medical field?

MetaGait is an innovation in the rehabilitation field of medicine. It enables remote neurorehabilitation, allowing to count a patient's steps, distance, and calories burned. It combines therapy with VR games, creating multiplayer teams, activating the muscle memory of the brain and forming new neural connections.

What VR games are available?

MetaGait skiing

The game is designed for adults and children. The patients undergo rehabilitation therapy through extreme and emotional involvement.

Cybertourism

The game presents different places in Armenia (such as Tatev Monastery, and later, St. Ghazanchetsots Cathedral and Lake Sevan), where the patient can walk, get acquainted with the environment, and take virtual tours.

Contraindications:

Virtual games should be played with time intervals and last less than 2 hours.

MetaGait is contraindicated for patients with the following diseases:
