NeuroMoves – Rehabilitation of people with paralysis syndromes

A key goal of rehabilitation in patients suffering from a stroke or paraplegia is to restore full mobility to the patient as a pedestrian or wheelchair user. Despite the use of various medical aids, however, the mobility of patients with paralysis syndromes worsens following their initial inpatient treatment.

The goal of the NeuroMoves study is to identify the factors in outpatient care that lead to a reduction in mobility as well as the factors that tend to preserve and increase patients’ mobility.
 

• Automated recording and evaluation of questionnaires of patients and physicians, including data preparation using the DPM.research study management system.
  
• Activity tracker (by Portabiles HealthCare Technologies) for the sensor-based recording of data
  
  • Attachment to the patient's shoe or wheelchair
    
  • Sensor measures walking or wheelchair distance
    
  • Data transferred to a tablet  
• Definition of therapy goals and their evaluation by study participants and therapists using the PatientConcept app (Neurosys)
  
• Identification and coordination of effective measures

Anonymized data can be requested for research purposes after termination of the NeuroMoves study.
