Neuroforma - A computer system supporting neurological rehabilitation

Features:

Includes the possibility of 2D and 3D exercises (each interactive exercise can be performed using both 2D and 3D webcams)

Contains the following groups of exercises: breathing and facial, upper limb and trunk, cognitive processes, manual, and mirror therapy

Includes automatic calibration — a module for positioning users correctly before exercising, automatic adjustment to users’ height, support for exercising in both standing and sitting positions, and posture correction

Includes the ability to exercise in both standing and sitting positions

In each interactive exercise, the user sees their actual mirror image on the monitor

Includes the ability to save any number of users and present their exercise session results in charts

Includes the ability to create and save dedicated exercise sessions for each user separately. A scheduled session has defined exercises, parameters such as difficulty level, exercise time, and required range of motion (with the ability to set different ranges of motion for the left and right sides).

Includes the ability to adjust exercise parameters to the user’s capabilities.

How does Neuroforma work?

With the Neuroforma system, the patient stands or sits facing the screen. On the screen, the patient sees their real, mirrored reflection, around which virtual objects appear. The patient’s task is to move their reflection to catch, move, or hit the appearing objects. Using virtual reality technology, the patient receives immediate feedback (biofeedback). After each exercise, they can view simple statistics, which are also available as long-term reports showing progress in each task.

Neuroforma functional rehabilitation system - exercises

The patient performs tasks in an engaging virtual environment, which increases motivation, improves attitudes toward exercise, and enhances satisfaction with rehabilitation services. All these factors contribute to increasing the effectiveness of rehabilitation.

The Neuroforma system is based on a database of interactive exercises. The combination of cognitive and motor tasks in the so-called dual-task paradigm makes Neuroforma unique. The patient directs objects on the screen with body movements, thereby continuously improving physical fitness. At the same time, the patient is challenged with mental tasks of varying complexity. Incorporating cognitive elements into motor tasks is beneficial for all patients and is especially important in neurological rehabilitation.

The mirror therapy module is a specialized exercise designed specifically for post-stroke patients. The traditional mirror has been replaced by a camera and a screen. Thanks to advanced image analysis and transformation, a patient with hemiparesis sees their own mirror image on the screen, where the inoperative limb moves symmetrically and to the same extent as the able-bodied limb.
