The neuro-rehabilitation exercise module features games for improving functional mobility like gait, balance and reaching, engaging patients to increase their rehabilitation time with fun, motivating exercise using AR glasses instead of a sheet of paper with stretches and exercise diagrams.
The gait training primarily uses multi-sensory cues – visual and audio – overlaid onto the user’s real-world environment and personalised to the individual. This cueing module helps people with Parkinson's by forcing the brain to divert from our human autopilot, which controls movements like walking and is often impaired by the disease, to more goal or attention-orientated movement that is often unaffected. This can result in quite a dramatic and immediate improvement in walking, posture and balance.
The software and AR glasses are prescribed by therapists to patients for either one-to-one clinical sessions or at home for daily exercises, enabling healthcare providers to provide seven-times more rehabilitation with two-thirds less staff time. Patients benefit from participating in programmes from the comfort of their own home.
