MYOREHAB
Monitoring and Delivering Personalised Hand Neurorehabilitation through Virtual Activities Controlled by the Neural Drive
About the Project
Rehabilitation treatments for neuromuscular disorders vary considerably across clinical centers and national healthcare systems, often depending on the clinical experience of practitioners. One of the main challenges is monitoring rehabilitation progress before signs of motor improvements appear. Lack of proper feedback can lead to frustration for both patients and practitioners, limiting recovery potential.
MYOREHAB aims to develop an artificial intelligent system that monitors and delivers personalized closed-loop neurorehabilitation interventions for the hand, based on the electrical activity generated by muscles. Our technology will provide real-time feedback to enhance patient engagement and improve rehabilitation outcomes.
Project Phases
Phase 1: Validation
In this initial phase, our rehabilitation technology and protocols will be implemented and rigorously tested with healthy individuals to establish baseline parameters and ensure system reliability.
Phase 2: Clinical Assessment
The technology will be used to extract clinical metrics that will help readapt physical therapies more efficiently and effectively, providing quantitative feedback to practitioners.
Phase 3: Clinical Intervention
Conventional physical therapy will be complemented with our novel technology to enhance recovery by providing patients with more engaging and effective rehabilitation activities.
International Collaboration
This project addresses different motor conditions, including stroke and spinal cord injury, across institutions in four countries. Our goal is to develop a strong long-term research network between European and Latin American researchers and to provide a transnational framework for standardized motor rehabilitation.
