RecoveriX is a new neuro-rehabilitation training method that uses the power o f neuroplasticity to help stroke and multiple sclerosis patients regain lost motor function of their upper and lower limbs.
Patients are equipped with an EEG cap that measures brain activity, which is then translated into movement of an avatar on a computer screen as well as functional electrical stimulation of the targeted limb. This biofeedback loop helps patients relearn motor skills and regain coordination in a way that is both engaging and effective.
- Motor Imagery
- Virtual Reality
- Electrical Stimulation
- Mirror Neuron Therapy
- Bilateral Training
- Constraint-induced Movement Therapy
- Task-based Therapy
As an immersive, computer-based therapy it engages the patient to actively participate in the training. It supplements standard physical and occupational therapy with the chance for a quicker and more successful recovery. It can be used in the acute, sub-acute, or chronic states – even 10, 20 or 30 years after stroke or multiple sclerosis diagnosis!
