The Bioness Vector equipment can be used to reduce the risk of a fall during the rehabilitation of patients who are learning to move again.
The system straps a patient into a harness which is held by a machine above, moving along as the person makes their way across the floor.
Workers from the clinic are keen to remind members of the public that it and a neighbouring facility will be carrying on as usual and members of the public will not be permitted on site.
The Princess Royal has a long history of visiting the county because of her links with Newmarket Racecourse.
Earlier this year, she visited the Animal Health Trust in Newmarket.
The 69-year-old, who is president of the charity, opened its new headquarters which had previously helped analyse thousands of samples from racehorses during a flu outbreak which closed courses for six days.
