About
ReMoD UG (haftungsbeschränkt) is a Berlin-based startup specializing in medical technology for rehabilitation. The company focuses on developing wearable assistive devices and therapeutic methods aimed at improving posture and movement control for patients with central nervous system disorders, such as stroke, hemiparesis, infantile cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and related gait and posture problems. Their flagship products, the ReMoD V5 and ReMoD GT1 sensor orthoses, provide users with sensor-derived feedback and mild electrical impulses to support self-correction of body posture during walking, standing, and sitting. ReMoD's approach combines innovative hardware with functional gait training (FGT) and is based on personal experience and over 20 years of handling related conditions. The company has a strong emphasis on patient independence and enabling participation in daily life.
