Juan transforms his path to recovery after a stroke

Robotic neurorehabilitation is proving to be a highly effective tool in restoring mobility to patients with brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, or neurological diseases. Ischemic stroke, one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, especially in terms of mobility, can be successfully treated thanks to this technology.

A patient named Juan, who suffered an ischemic stroke three years ago, has begun his gait rehabilitation treatment at Movex Clinics Bilbao, part of Gogoa Mobility Robots. The clinic has developed a new gait neurorehabilitation protocol based on research conducted at the Movex Living Lab, a laboratory for designing robotic neurorehabilitation therapies launched by Gogoa in January.

The new treatment protocol incorporates balance and postural control therapy to improve weight transfer from one foot to the other. This allows the moving leg to be freed, facilitating gait development and ensuring proper leg swing, replicating a natural movement. The balance control technology incorporated into the rehabilitation protocol allows for even shorter recovery times and significantly improved gait patterns compared to any conventional therapy.

Gogoa, as an expert in robotic neurorehabilitation, helps its clinics enhance treatments by incorporating new technologies and integrating them into treatment protocols after rigorous research. The combination of technology and clinical expertise enables personalized treatments, patient monitoring, and optimized results.

Thanks to this new treatment protocol, Juan is rapidly regaining proper weight control and has recovered his confidence in his legs to bear his weight. Research into new therapies and the combination of different approaches are accelerating rehabilitation and allowing many people to leave their wheelchairs. The Movex Living Lab is an example of how research in robotic neurorehabilitation can contribute to improving the quality of life for people with disabilities.
