What
In 2016, we inaugurated the "REVAlution" post-rehabilitation center, a welcoming space for individuals who have completed their rehabilitation journey and wish to continue exercising. Our team continues to provide support on both mental and physical levels, utilizing the latest technologies.
Moreover, the center extends its offerings to encompass various services associated with rehabilitation. These include access to a tailor specializing in custom clothing, an insurance expert, a bicycle repair shop, and more. This comprehensive approach underscores our commitment to holistic rehabilitation.
Our rehabilitation services primarily cater to individuals grappling with neurological conditions, spinal cord injuries, stroke (CVA) survivors, orthosis and prosthesis users, as well as those with multiple sclerosis, among others.
Goal
This project includes three major objectives:
- Firstly, we aimed to establish a post-rehabilitation center.
- Secondly, we initiated longitudinal research, meaning that we track all individuals using an exoskeleton on a quarterly basis.
- Thirdly, we are building an ecosystem around the center. By this, we mean the entire system of services and support surrounding the center, extending beyond the rehabilitation process itself.
Our role
Mobilab & Care, as a partner of REVAlution, conducts extensive research across testing, practical, and innovative phases. This involves quarterly monitoring of all individuals using an exoskeleton, including an assessment of their quality of life, participation, medication usage, doctor visits, and more.
Additionally, Mobilab & Care actively contributes to the development of an ecosystem. Co-creation sessions have been organized in collaboration with Licalab and Voka, resulting in two additional sub-projects: one focused on chronic wound care and another exploring the use of virtual reality in rehabilitation.
