ABOUT THE PROJECT

MULTIDIMENTIONAL REHABILITATION SYSTEM

Motion disability leads not only to exclusion from many activities, but most of all it has negative impact on every aspect of life - physiological, psychological, social and professional. The goal of this project is to create a new dimension of comprehensive rehabilitation, aimed at every patient with a movement deficit.

REHABILITATION IN HOME AND CLINICAL CONDITIONS

The technology includes all the necessary tools for re-learning of walking. Personalization of therapy, intelligent solutions and an advanced telemedic system increase the possibilities of currently conducted and available rehabilitation practices.

PEOPLE WITH MOTION DISABILITY

The exoskeleton, together with supportive accessories, can be used by patients at home and outside of it not only as a rehabilitation device. It allows efficient movement in standing position, increasing the independence and freedom of the User.

MEDICAL OFFICES

The project involves equipping medical offices with modern tools for physical rehabilitation. Thanks to the advanced telemedic system and virtual and augmented realities, it supports doctors and physiotherapists in planning of re-learning to walk therapy and controlling and analyzing the progress of rehabilitation.

REHABILITATION OF THE 21ST CENTURY

WHAT DISTINGUISHES THIS PROJECT?

DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
The exoskeleton is equipped with an advanced sensor system. Their integration with a dedicated telemedic application allows the physiotherapist to constantly control the exercises performed by the patient at home. The patient can implement the rehabilitation plan at a convenient time, and the activity and progress are recorded on an ongoing basis and available to the specialist in the form of a report.
PERSONALIZATION

The construction of the exoskeleton has been developed to fit the patient as much as possible, regardless of their body shape. The use of 3D printing technology in the project enables the personalization of some elements of the exoskeleton and adjusting them to human anatomy. This solution provides the patient with comfort during exercise.

AVAILABILITY

The project aims to maximize the availability of the solution for the end user - the patient. The exoskeleton is to be as intuitive as possible, to give great opportunities to both the person undergoing the treatment and the physiotherapist, and also to have a price affordable for private individuals and medical offices. As a result, hospitals and specialized institutions will be able to equip their offices with many exoskeletons, which will enable effective rehabilitation of a larger number of people with disabilities of the lower limbs.

FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS

The exoskeleton was developed in two versions (for children and adults) and adapted to the changing human anatomy. Due to the modular structure, the exoskeleton can be adjusted to the height and weight of the patient, and can also evolve during their growth. During puberty, a child patient will have the opportunity to change the exoskeleton to a larger model, and rehabilitation will help them equalize the opportunities and better adapt to society.

SYSTEM BASED ON INTEGRAL ELEMENTS

Multidimensional system of rehabilitation consists of many cooperating devices. Thanks to them, the rehabilitation supports every aspect of human life - physiological, psychological, social and professional. In addition, the system was developed both for rehabilitation at home and for use at medical facilities.

MOTIVATION FOR REHABILITATION

People with lower limb disabilities have limited mobility, which excludes them from carrying out some activities. One of the solutions provided in this project is a virtual reality system, which not only makes the rehabilitation process of the youngest patients more attractive, but also increases the motivation to exercise.

"DreamMotion - development of innovative mechatronic technologies for the rehabilitation of people with severe dysfunctions of the nervous system". 

The subject of this project is the work aimed at developing innovative tools enabling continuous physical rehabilitation of children and adults in both clinical and home conditions. The main goal is to create key components and a new type of software that will improve work with people suffering from diseases that disrupt the ability to move through dysfunctions of the nervous system. 

The project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund under the Smart Growth Operational Program 2014-2020
