"Currently rehabilitation devices are designed to overcome an individual's specific disability, while the trend is moving towards multi-functional devices and potentially customized designs," said Technical Insights Research Analyst Debarati Sengupta. "For instance, in the case of stroke patients with both cognitive and speech impairment, a single device to rehabilitate both functions simultaneously will be beneficial."

Penetration and adoption of technologies in emerging economies are challenged by factors like slow regulatory approval, high cost of next-generation devices and reimbursement hassles.

"Robust clinical evidence from developers and reimbursement coverage for patients will enable advanced rehabilitation devices to increase the adoption by the physician and patient community, spurring growth in these markets," noted Sengupta.
