Equipped with the latest in stroke therapy technology, the gymnasium at Montagu Hospital hosts seven different robotic devices, which will serve as therapy multipliers, enabling patients to engage in highly focused, intensive therapy sessions under the guidance of expert clinicians.

Among the equipment is a state-of-the-art robotic gait trainer, as well as devices focused on improving upper and lower limb mobility and balance. Many of these systems incorporate gaming elements, helping to motivate and engage patients throughout their journey of recovery.

Dr Peter Anderton, consultant for the Stroke Rehabilitation Service, said: ‘This facility has the potential to change lives. It will allow our patients, whether newly recovering or managing longer-term stroke impacts, access to cutting-edge rehabilitation that is usually only available privately. It's a major step forward for our community, ensuring care is accessible and equitable, and it puts Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals at the forefront of NHS Stroke rehabilitation.'
