Revolutionary Rehabilitation Technology: From NASA to the Frontlines
The rehabilitation department at Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital has recently acquired a new device from the USA, which is the only and first of its kind in Jerusalem. This innovative device, developed at NASA, allows for incredible therapeutic options for patients who have been injured in their legs.
The device enables patients to step slightly and be carried in the air by air that flows from below, which allows them to start putting weight on their foot in a measured and supervised manner almost immediately after surgery. This has led to much faster rehabilitation progress for patients with leg injuries.
The hospital purchased the device with a donation from Hadassah International Israel, and it has been used to rehabilitate various types of injuries that have led to a limitation or prevention of walking, such as muscle weakness or balance problems. It has also been used for sports injuries and is even used by top-class athletes.
One patient, Dvir, who was operated on his leg due to a pedicle injury, used the device to return to walking in a normal way. He mentioned that during treatment on the device, he felt like he was walking like before the injury, and that the device helps him feel like he’s on the way to walking with both feet independently.
Professor Isabella Schwartz, director of the rehabilitation department at Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital, explained that Dvir’s determination and desire to move forward are an inspiration to everyone around him. The hospital is excited about the new therapeutic options that this device provides and looks forward to helping more patients with their rehabilitation process.

In conclusion, Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital has acquired an innovative device developed at NASA that offers incredible therapeutic options for patients who have been injured in their legs. The device allows patients to start putting weight on their foot immediately after surgery while being supervised by medical professionals. This has led to much faster rehabilitation progress for patients with leg injuries.
Dvir is one patient who benefited greatly from using this device after being operated on his leg due to a pedicle injury. His experience using the device inspired others around him as they begin their own journey towards independence.
Hadassah International Israel made a significant contribution towards acquiring this innovative technology that will benefit many more patients with leg injuries in the future.
As such, Professor Schwartz highlighted Dvir’s determination as an inspiration for all those around him as they recover from injuries related to mobility issues.
