Staff Lomonosov Moscow State University and the Scientific Center of Neurology said that the exoskeleton will help in the rehabilitation of people who have experienced a stroke. Applying design, patients will be able to re-learn how to walk and talk.
According to the Moscow State University of Psychology Dean Yury Zinchenko, the new development is designed to return the person to the motor activity and speech in serious brain damage. The scientist hopes that the application of the exoskeleton quickly rehabilitate the patient surviving a brain hemorrhage.
The design of the exoskeleton developers used the brain’s communication technology with limbs, adapting them to a specific person. This technology is a so-called non-invasive neurointerface that can bind the human brain with a computer, artificial cybernetic limbs and nerve endings in the feet and hands. This technology is not intended to include in the spinal process and no surgeries or podvodok electrodes to the brain of the patient.
According to neuroscientists and psychologists, exoskeletons they create help “reconstruct” the brain and neuronal chains that control the limbs and ligaments in the throat.
«Instead of developing, for example, muscle arms, flexing her other hand, the technology allows the patient to rehabilitate the limb using the signals sent by the brain. Connected equipment removes EEG and exoskeleton, set on the hand, the electrical impulses are transmitted. Thus, the recovery is due to the brain. Before rehabilitation was built on the basis of physics and biology, and mental activity is not taken into account. Since the work of psychologists have joined, the effectiveness of restoration procedures limb movements increased by 4-5 times, “- said Yuri Zinchenko
According to media reports, in a startup” EkzoAtlet “has been invested 130 million rubles.. It’s quite an impressive amount, so the company plans to enter the markets abroad, but this must be approved by the US FDA. And it needs 2 million dollars and 2 years old, so it is during this time will issue the registration certificate.
