Movendo and Kessler Foundation Partner to Improve Recovery After Brain Injury and Stroke
Summary
Incorporating the hunova in our mobility research will help us better understand the spectrum of balance dysfunction across populations with neuromuscular disabilities, and develop new interventions to help restore balance function, toward the goal of improving mobility and enhancing quality of life.” Foundation scientists will also use Movendo’s Silver Index©, a 20-minute predictive evaluation that provides an objective assessment of fall risk and suggests exercise protocols for mitigating risk. “Establishing this long-term collaboration with Kessler Foundation is an important step toward improving outcomes for individuals whose rehabilitation is complicated by balance dysfunction,” said Frank Menzler, Executive VP and General Manager North America of Movendo. “We are confident that integrating hunova into the Foundation’s mobility research will lead to data-driven solutions that will accelerate recovery, benefiting hospitals, clinics, and patients. Headquartered in Genoa, Italy with subsidiaries in Boston, MA, and Munich, Germany, Movendo develops and commercializes robotic and digital rehabilitation solutions for objective, functional assessments and effective treatments. Hunova©, the company’s flagship product and one of the most versatile robotic assistive device available, improves orthopedic rehabilitation, the management of neurological and chronic conditions, active aging and athletic performance.
