Active Rehabilitation

VirtuRob

In the Virturob project knowledge of virtual reality and robotics is obtained. This knowledge is used for the realization of a technological system for training of the disturbed arm and hand function of patients with a neurological disease, such as cerebrovascular accident (CVA), spinal cord injury (SCI) or traumatic brain injury (TBI). This technological knowledge makes use of the state of the art insights on motor control, motor (re) learning and neurological recovery.

Objective

The objective of the project is to acquire and make available technological knowledge of Virtual Reality and Robotics in a form that can be used for the development of a VirtuRob combination for the training of the impaired arm and hand function of people with neurological disorders.
