URRETXU, GIPUZKOA, BASQUE COUNTRY
LIVING NEUROREHABILITATION LAB
We design, test, and scale advanced rehabilitation therapies by combining objective assessment, artificial intelligence, and clinical technologies (robotics, neuromodulation, electrotherapy, virtual reality, and sensorimotor training). Our approach is geared toward maximizing neuroplasticity and accelerating motor and cognitive recovery in neurological conditions.
WHAT IS THE GOGOA LIVING LAB?
A clinical-technological environment where:
We quantitatively evaluate the patient's functional status.
We define custom protocols based on data.
We validate therapies and new developments through applied research and clinical trials.
We standardize and improve interventions to make them reproducible, safe, and measurable.
PIONEER EQUIPMENT
Motion measurement suit (Rokoko)
EMG Electro-myographic signal capture system (Sessantaquattro)
Gamified EEG electroencephalographic signal measurement system (Bit Brain)
Diagnostics + AI
We combine IMUs, 3D cameras, strength assessment systems, and clinical scales to create a functional profile of the patient. With this data, an AI agent helps define the most appropriate protocols for each pathology and its progression.

WE CREATE TECHNOLOGY + WE DESIGN THERAPIES
At GOGOA, we are unique in our ability to design and apply comprehensive treatments that combine our own technology with exclusive processes that maximize the recovery of motor problems in people with various pathologies such as:
Stroke, Spinal Cord Injury, Neurodegenerative Diseases, Muscle Dysfunctions
Musculoskeletal or Post-surgical Problems, etc.
In this field, we have no rival.
THERAPIES DEVELOPED
(ACTIVE INGREDIENTS)
At the Living Lab, we work with seven complementary therapeutic approaches that are combined according to the pathology, functional status, and clinical objectives. Each one acts on a key component of recovery (movement, neuromuscular control, attention, balance, coordination, etc.), and by integrating them, we can design intensive, measurable, and progressive protocols aimed at real functional improvement.
We call them “active principles” because they describe the therapeutic mechanism that produces the effect (e.g., intensive repetition, neuromodulation, sensorimotor retraining), not the technology that applies it. This allows us to standardize, measure, and combine protocols.
THERAPIES DEVELOPED
INTENSIVE MOBILIZATION WITH EXOSKELETONS
Structured, high-frequency treatment based on high repetition of tasks to stimulate brain reorganization.
Application: spinal cord injury, stroke, Parkinson's disease, etc.
Benefits:
It accelerates the recovery of motor skills, balance, and strength.
Improves independence and quality of life.
Faster results compared to traditional rehabilitation.
NEUROMODULATION: VAGUS NERVE STIMULATION (tVNS)
Non-invasive technique that modulates the nervous system and promotes neuroplasticity, especially after stroke (also investigated in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's).
Key benefits:
Reduces neuronal hyperexcitability and CNS damage.
It promotes neuroplasticity and internal balance.
It regulates altered functions and improves brain connectivity.
It reduces cognitive and motor symptoms in certain neurodegenerative diseases.
NEUROMUSCULAR MODULATION
Electrical impulses to regulate nerve-muscle activity, restore muscle function, relieve pain and improve movement (invasive or non-invasive).
Includes:
Low frequency currents on motor nerves or weak muscles.
Pattern correction (dysfunctions and nerve entrapments).
Improved strength, circulation, and range of motion.
Key benefits:It addresses the root of the problem, not just the symptom.
Customizable and effective in various musculoskeletal pathologies.
Generally with minimal side effects and no dependency.
SPEED · ATTENTION · ENDURANCE
(LIGHTS AND SOUNDS)
Multisensory training to improve reaction time and attentional control through visual and auditory stimuli.
Includes:
Reactive lighting systems (LED modules with programmed or random light/sound).
Active response (touching, stepping, moving) to train coordination and memory.
Repetition aimed at creating new neural pathways.
Application: customized programs supervised by professionals.
PROPRIOCEPTION
Progressive exercises to improve body awareness, balance and coordination through unstable surfaces and functional tasks.
Beginning:
Gradual progression.
Sensory variation (eyes closed, surface/speed changes).
Integration with real tasks (walking, carrying, stairs).
Benefits:Fall prevention.
Greater joint stability and strength.
Recovery of normal motor patterns.
BALANCE
AND TRUNK CONTROL
Specific postural control and core work with balance platforms and dynamic tasks.
Includes:
Tilts, rotations and weight transfers.
Stabilization in quadruped position.
Integration into walking exercises.
Benefits:Improves coordination and motor control.
Strengthens brain-muscle connection.
It facilitates gait retraining and functional skills.
COORDINATION OF MOVEMENT WITH VIRTUAL REALITY (VR)
Motor rehabilitation with safe and motivating environments, using real-time visual and haptic feedback.
Includes:
Repetitive exercises (reaching, simulated walking, fine motor skills).
Simulation of daily living activities.
Correction of trajectories and postures using avatars/virtual hands.
Benefits:It increases adherence and motivation.
Extensive customization.
Functional practice without risk.
IMPACT
The combination of these active ingredients allows for clinical trials, validation of technological developments, and the definition of comprehensive motor and cognitive neurorehabilitation protocols for pathologies such as spinal cord injury, stroke/acquired brain injury, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease.
