Delve into his rehabilitation story
In the world of medicine, success stories are beacons of hope that illuminate the path for those battling neurological diseases. Today, we are pleased to share the inspiring story of Ana, a courageous 24-year-old patient with a cerebellar pilocytic astrocytoma, and her remarkable recovery thanks to Movex Clinics and the cutting-edge technology of Gogoa Mobility Robots, a Basque biotechnology engineering company.
A decade ago, at just 14 years old, Ana received devastating news: a brain tumor threatened her well-being and challenged her ability to live a full life. This tumor affected astrocytes, neurons essential for mobility, causing incoordination in her movements, especially in her upper limbs. But in the midst of adversity, Ana found a source of hope: the possibilities offered by robotic neurorehabilitation.
It was then that Ana walked through the doors of Movex Clinics, a prestigious clinic specializing in neurorehabilitation, renowned for its cutting-edge method in treating various neurological conditions, such as stroke, neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases, brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, and others. With determination, Ana prepared to face the challenges of her recovery, supported by experts and innovative technology.
In this unique therapeutic environment, Ana immersed herself in personalized virtual reality experiences that stimulated her motor coordination and promoted the recovery of precise movements. Each session was tailored to her needs, maximizing her progress toward a better quality of life.
The "Hand of Hope" exoskeleton by Gogoa was key to the young woman's recovery. It strengthened the muscles in her hand and arm, improving her mobility and coordination. With each session, Ana experienced improvements in her ability to grasp and manipulate objects.
After nine months of dedication, Ana's achievements are remarkable. The incoordination in her limbs decreased significantly, granting her independence in daily tasks. Walking and moving became a tangible reality, opening up new possibilities and hope.
In Ana's words, "This experience was a rebirth. I can enjoy the little things in life, like eating on my own, getting dressed, and making plans with my friends. I feel alive and excited again."
Ana's story is a powerful reminder of the human spirit's capacity to overcome difficulties and find new hope in the darkest moments. The specialized clinic that accompanied her on her journey, Movex Clinics, through a comprehensive and personalized approach, demonstrates that neurorehabilitation can transform lives and open a world of possibilities for those facing neurological challenges.
