Bridging the Gap Between Bedrest and Standing: The Evolution of MOVAO

Redefining Early Mobility in Critical Care

In critical care and rehabilitation, timing is everything. Each day a patient remains in bed, the path back to standing, walking, and independence becomes steeper. The challenge of bridging this gap has driven innovation—and MOVAO stands at the forefront of this evolution.

From Moveo XP to MOVAO Bari: A Leap Forward

The original Moveo XP was a pioneering solution, allowing patients to start rebuilding leg strength without leaving their beds. However, it came with drawbacks: bulky design, complex setup, and limited ability to tailor therapy for individual needs.

As clinical understanding of early mobility advanced, so did expectations for rehabilitation tools:

  • Precision over guesswork

  • Personalization over one-size-fits-all

  • Data-driven progress over subjective observation

Enter the MOVAO Bari—the next generation in bedside rehabilitation. Developed by a Doctor of Physical Therapy and engineered for today’s clinical environment, MOVAO Bari transforms the recovery journey with features that address the real-world needs of both clinicians and patients.

  • : Quantifies muscle weakness and recovery, even in patients unable to communicate.

  • : Objective measurements allow clinicians to monitor improvements and adjust therapy with confidence.

  • : Enables precise prescription of movement intensity, eliminating guesswork.

  • : Quick setup, adaptable for various patient sizes and needs, and accessible for those with severe weakness or hemiparesis.

  • : Features like dual force plates, supportive leg pads, and Hoyer lift compatibility ensure therapy is safe and accessible for all.

Clinicians report that MOVAO Bari empowers them to:

  • with greater confidence

  • in the crucial early days of rehab

  • for both patients and staff by making progress visible and measurable

Patients themselves notice the difference. They request MOVAO Bari by name, because every session feels like a tangible step forward—and it is.

The bridge from bedrest to standing is no longer a leap of faith. With MOVAO Bari, it’s a carefully engineered path—stronger, smarter, and more accessible than ever.
