For the first time in Hyderabad, the robotic gait trainer G Gaiter has been installed at the HCAH SuVitas Rehabilitation Centre during the launch of the Center for Advance Robotics & Recovery. The event took place on World Stroke Day, marking an important addition to the city’s rehabilitation infrastructure.
Rising Need for Structured Rehabilitation
India reports close to 1.8 million new stroke cases every year, with more than 9.4 million people living with long-term disabilities after stroke. Alongside this, gait disorders from neurological and orthopedic conditions continue to increase. These figures underline the need for precise, measurable, and repeatable rehabilitation methods that can handle large patient volumes without compromising quality. G Gaiter addresses this by providing robotic-assisted gait training designed for consistent therapy and safe, data-backed movement support.
Collaboration Between HCAH and Genrobotics
The Hyderabad installation is part of a collaboration between HCAH India and Genrobotics Medical &Mobility. The event was attended by Dr. Gaurav Thukral and Mr.Ankit Goel, Co-Founders and Presidents of HCAH, along with Mr. RahulJain, Dr. Vijay Janagama, and Mr. Afsal Muttikal, Regional Director, Genrobotics. This partnership focuses on integrating robotic and AI-driven rehabilitation into Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) practices, combining clinical expertise with engineering innovation.
Robotic Precision in Gait Therapy
G Gaiter supports gait training for patients recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, and other mobility impairments. The system delivers repetitive and controlled movement patterns essential for motor relearning, faster recovery, and improved independence. It ensures safety through intelligent spasm detection, continuous patient monitoring, and an emergency stop feature. In addition, its inbuilt patient effort tracking technology enables therapists to assess engagement and progress more accurately. Together, these features help maintain uniform therapy standards while reducing manual strain on therapists.

Expanding Reach Across India
G Gaiter is being rapidly adopted across India in both public and private healthcare sectors. Recent installations include FHC Noolpuzha, Wayanad, where the G Gaiter Advanced was launched, and upcoming deployments are planned in Bengaluru. Each installation represents a step toward making robotic gait training more accessible and standardized nationwide.

A Step Forward for Hyderabad’s Rehabilitation Ecosystem
During the inauguration, specialists discussed how robotics and AI are reshaping therapy approaches for neurological, orthopedic, and post-trauma cases. They noted that systems like G Gaiter enable structured, quantifiable training vital for restoring functional mobility. With this installation, HCAH SuVitas Hyderabad becomes part of a growing network of centers using robotic systems to enhance rehabilitation precision, supported by Genrobotics Medical & Mobility’s ongoing work in robotic gait and mobility solutions.
