Kick-off des NeMoRehab-Projekts vom 6. Dezember 2023

People with incomplete spinal cord injuries suffer from limited mobility and often make very slow progress in therapy, which is usually very strenuous.

This is where the NeMoRehab project comes in, which was launched in Porto at the end of 2023: In the joint project, which is funded by the EU as part of the EUREKA Eurostars 3 program, scientists from Germany, Spain and Portugal will spend the next three years researching a novel biofeedback system for monitoring individual therapy progress: brain activity (EEG) and muscle activity (EMG) will be analyzed in order to adapt therapy using functional #electrostimulation and to individually optimize therapy parameters. The goal is to develop a personalized therapy that allows patients to recover more quickly and live with as few restrictions as possible.

In the subproject "Technologies for #sensors, sensor applicators and #data processing methods for multimodal #biofeedback applications", researchers at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Informatics (BMTI) under the direction of Prof. Patrique Fiedler, head of #data analysis in the Life Sciences Department at TU Ilmenau, are developing selected hardware and software components for the overall system. This also includes applicators for positioning the sensors on the body of the persons concerned. The focus of the subproject is the processing and analysis of the measured signals in order to minimize sensor failures or malfunctions. This information will then be used to analyze brain and muscle activity and to adjust stimulation parameters for the best possible therapeutic progress.

We look forward to working with our partner institutions on this exciting project!
