Activities
We aim at designing, validating and translating to clinics technologies for personalized rehabilitation and for promoting independent living. All these technologies are brought to clinical trials so to promote evidence-based clinical studies in rehabilitation technologies and the design of protocols to quantitatively support the rating based on clinical scales.
This includes the following activities :
- user-centered assistive devices, as personalized robotic exoskeletons, with special focus on upper limbs
- active neuroprostheses, including subject volitional contribution with FES, when possible and personalized control strategies
- immersive rehabilitation devices, including EMG-based biofeedback solutions
- fMRI and TMS studies are adopted to investigate brain functions associated to rehabilitation treatments, especially with FES
NearLab@Lecco, at the Lecco Polimi Campus with two operational facilities at clinical partners sites: Villa Beretta and Istituto Medea.
