Background: The primary barrier to obtaining robotic equipment is the cost of the device. Methods: A break-even analysis was performed for 2 robotic and 1 nonrobotic locomotor training (LT) devices. Results: The time for a clinic to break even after purchasing various LT devices ranged between 1.6 years for the nonrobotic device and 2.36 years for the robotic device. However, the 5-year projection showed that the most profitable LT device was a robotic device and the least profitable device was the nonrobotic device. Conclusion: Adding robotics to a hospital-based outpatient physical therapy clinic can be financially feasible.
