3 IN 1 – A UNIQUE COMBINATION
A neurological disorder might inhibit the ability to move hands, arms or feet, but maybe not the ability to imagine the movement! Patients are instructed to imagine a hand or a foot movement. Once the recoveriX system has recognized the motor imagery successfully, virtual reality and functional electrical stimulation will be activated.
With three different kinds of neurofeedback, recoveriX improves brain plasticity and thus, the therapy success.
- MOTOR IMAGERY (MI)
Imagine a hand or a foot movement. recoveriX measures and analyses brain waves, which reflect the motor imagery and determines whether the motor imagery was correct. Once motor imagery has been recognized, virtual reality and functional electrical stimulation will be activated.
- VIRTUAL REALITY (VR)
The simulation on the screen makes motor imagery visible. Patients sit in front of a screen, where they see hands and feet of an avatar. This gives patients the feeling of watching their own movements in front of a mirror. If recoveriX recognizes motor imagery of the movement (such as a right hand movement), the avatar moves the right hand.
- FUNCTIONAL ELECTRICAL STIMULATION (FES)
For this stimulation, two electrodes are placed (for example) on the dorsiflexors of the wrist or on the leg. If the system recognizes a correct motor imagery, the muscles get electrically stimulated, causing a real movement. This should help you re-learn how to initiate movement, and thus make movement possible again.
