Various device demonstrations covering the full rehabilitation spectrum for upper, lower, balance and movement solutions were conducted during the full-day program.
In addition, participants were also allowed to gain valuable insights through knowledge sharing by experts in the field. Special guest Ms. Ying Sii Gen, Occupational Therapist at Ramsay Sime Darby Health Care, attended the event and shared her industry experience as a therapist.

With a combination of expert and industry partnerships, we aim to facilitate knowledge-sharing, create new research opportunities, and drive industry growth. Combining our expertise can bridge the gap between clinical applications and patient acceptance, but to achieve this, we must first empower upcoming professionals through exposure. This will allow them to gain the knowledge needed and allow for accelerated and widespread adoption of these technologies,” said Zen Koh, Co-founder & Executive Director of MotusAcademy.
