Product Type:
Prototype smart orthosis
Description:
Spasticity is the main cause of motor disability in children and millions of adults suffer from spasticity worldwide due to stroke. Since the patient himself cannot control the onset of spasticity, movements are only possible with great effort and sometimes with pain. The scientific goal of smartMove is to develop a smart orthosis that supports movement in such a way that spastic contraction of the muscles does not occur. This would increase the mobility of patients with spasticity and significantly improve their life situation.
smartMove is a multilateral cooperation project between Mexico and Germany. This multilateral cooperation enables an interdisciplinary approach to which engineers, doctors, therapists, orthopaedic mechanics and industrial companies contribute.
