Aster Al Raffah Hospitals and Clinics, part of Aster DM Healthcare, has launched its second Aster Al Raffah Walk Again Advanced Robotic Rehabilitation Centre in Oman, taking advanced care to serve patients in Sohar.

This follows the successful establishment of the flagship center in Muscat and reflects Aster’s continued commitment to expanding access to technology-driven rehabilitation care closer to communities across Oman.

The expansion strengthens the availability of highly specialized services in key high-demand regions, with Sohar playing an important role in healthcare delivery and patient inflow in northern Oman.

Designed as one of the world’s most advanced robotic rehabilitation centers, the Sohar facility integrates globally benchmarked technologies to support the recovery of patients with complex neurological and musculoskeletal conditions, helping restore mobility, independence, and quality of life.

According to the statement, these AI-powered robotic rehabilitation systems enable precise, repetitive therapy that accelerates motor recovery. By enhancing neuroplasticity, supporting neuromodulation, and encouraging neurogenesis, they help rebuild and optimize neural pathways for improved functional outcomes. Real-time progress tracking ensures continuous clinical optimization and highly personalized rehabilitation journeys.

Speaking on the expansion, His Excellency Dr. Ahmed bin Salim Al-Mandhari, Undersecretary for Planning and Health Regulation, Ministry of Health, Sultanate of Oman, said that, “We are pleased to witness the expansion of advanced rehabilitation services beyond Muscat to Sohar, bringing specialized care closer to communities that need it most. Initiatives such as the Aster Al Raffah Walk Again Advanced Robotic Rehabilitation Centre reflect Oman’s vision of strengthening healthcare accessibility and integrating advanced medical technologies within the national system.”

As per the statement, the Aster Al Raffah Walk Again Advanced Robotic Rehabilitation Centre will cater to a wide range of neurological and developmental conditions, including spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, stroke-related impairments, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, motor neuron disease, muscular dystrophy, movement disorders, ataxia, dystonia, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia. It will also offer multidisciplinary care across Neurology, Spine, Sports Medicine, and Mental Wellbeing, ensuring a holistic and integrated rehabilitation approach.
