Maite discussed the innovative treatments using Gogoa’s exoskeleton for neurological conditions such as stroke, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injuries. We also heard the inspiring story of Melani, who suffered a cervical spinal cord crush due to a fall. Melani detailed her treatment journey with Gogoa’s exoskeleton, a process that has enabled her to walk again and regain her quality of life. Listen to the Podcast Here: The Exoskeletons That Improve Quality of Life Gogoa Mobility Robots, through its own robotic neurorehabilitation clinics, Movex Clinics, leads a true revolution in the fields of rehabilitation and ergonomics. With centers located in Urretxu and Bilbao, we specialize in robotic neurorehabilitation for various neurological and degenerative conditions, including stroke, spinal cord injuries, brain and spinal tumors, cerebral palsy, ataxias, as well as degenerative diseases like Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis (MS), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Cutting-Edge Technology in Rehabilitation At Gogoa, we utilize a variety of advanced technologies for rehabilitation, including gait and hand exoskeletons, as well as virtual reality systems. But what exactly is an exoskeleton? It is a robotic framework that attaches to the patient’s body to help people with motor disabilities regain or improve their mobility. Designed for use in clinical settings under the supervision of healthcare professionals, these exoskeletons are aimed at the rehabilitation of patients with neurological injuries, degenerative diseases, or musculoskeletal issues. The rehabilitative use of the exoskeleton is based on the principle of neural plasticity, leveraging the brain’s ability to reorganize and form new connections. This is achieved through the intensive repetition of movements, helping healthy brain areas to take over the functions of the damaged ones and reprogramming motor neurons to respond to weaker or distorted signals. Innovation and Personalization in Treatment At Gogoa, we develop our own technology, which we then apply in our clinics to offer personalized treatments. Depending on each patient’s functional state and goals, we use different technologies with the appropriate intensity to maximize the benefits of rehabilitation. Success Story: Melani Melani, a 53-year-old woman, suffered an incomplete cervical 5 spinal cord injury in January 2017 after falling from a ladder in her bar. This injury affected both her upper and lower limbs. Melani began her rehabilitation with us in May 2023, attending for three months. Her initial functional state included weakness in her arms and legs, requiring two crutches to walk and a wheelchair for long distances. She also had balance and stability issues, and her left hand lacked strength and coordination. The treatment included the use of the Hand of Hope hand exoskeleton and the Arm Tutor device, the HANK gait exoskeleton, and manual neurorehabilitation with exercises focusing on strength, coordination, stability, and balance, as well as functional activities like stair climbing. Treatment Results After three months of treatment, Melani showed significant improvement: increased strength in her lower limbs, improved stability and balance, thereby reducing the risk of falls. Her posture in standing and during walking also improved. For long distances, she still uses two crutches, but in safe and controlled environments, such as her home and the clinic, she can walk without them. Additionally, she has improved in transfers and can now climb and descend steps more easily. Patient's Opinion and Vision Melani expressed her gratitude and optimism about her recovery. Her experience highlights the positive impact that Gogoa’s technology can have on people’s lives, enabling them to regain their mobility and independence. At Gogoa Mobility Robots, we remain committed to developing innovative solutions to improve our patients' quality of life.

- We are launching a PODCAST on Neurological Rehabilitation in collaboration with Movex Clinics on Onda Vasca
We are pleased to announce the first broadcast of our collaborative podcast, MOVEX CLINICS x GOGOA, on Onda Vasca - Grupo Noticias radio, within the current affairs program hosted by Txema Gutiérrez: https://www.ondavasca.com/hemos-tenido-casos-de-personas-dependientes-en-silla-de-ruedas-que-han-conseguido-incluso-llegar-a-caminar-en-la-calle/ In this fascinating broadcast, we had the privilege of hearing from Maite Molinuevo Auzmendi and Sara García Delgado, specialized neurology physiotherapists and coordinators of the MOVEX clinics in Urretxu and Bilbao, respectively. Both shared with us the noble work they carry out day by day. From how GOGOA exoskeletons represent a beacon of hope for those suffering from neurodegenerative diseases or neuromuscular conditions, to the heartwarming stories of patients who, thanks to this cutting-edge technology, have regained mobility and independence. Our CEO, Carlos Fernandez Isoird, delighted us with his deep knowledge of the cutting-edge technology developed by GOGOA. He explained how, through the use of exoskeletons, we can trigger neuronal plasticity and reprogram motor neurons, allowing patients not only to rehabilitate, but to walk again! A dream come true that fills us with pride and motivation. This podcast will be a must-listen for all those interested in the advancement of rehabilitation and medical technology. We plan to broadcast it bimonthly, so don't miss it! Stay tuned to our social media channels for updates on the next broadcast. "We have had cases of dependent individuals, in wheelchairs, who have even managed to walk down the street." These words from the managers of the Movex clinics in Bilbao and Urretxu during the interview on Onda Vasca reflect the real and transformative impact that our therapies and technologies have on people's lives. At GOGOA and Movex Clinics, we are committed to excellence in rehabilitation and the constant search for innovative solutions. Thank you for joining us on this exciting journey towards a brighter future full of possibilities. See you in the next broadcast! Sincerely, GOGOA
