AXINESIS, startup out of Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium, won the European CE Mark to introduce its REAplan arm rehabilitation system. The product is designed to help people with brain injury, such as a stroke, recover motor activity in the upper limbs.
The robotic device runs the patient through repetitive movement game-like tasks that involve following a dot on a screen. The activities are intended to retrain the brain thanks to intense repetition that has been shown to engage neuroplasticity. The robot moves along with the user, providing varying amounts of assistance depending on each patient’s unique abilities and needs.
