Bioservo Technologies AB initiates research project to investigate the effect of using exoskeleton on the central nervous system
In order to investigate how brain activity is affected by the use of a soft active exoskeleton, and thereby potentially improve rehabilitation for stroke patients, a research collaboration is now being initiated between Bioservo Technologies, Aleris Rehab Station Stockholm, Karolinska Institute and the Royal Institute of Technology. The study is led by professor Åke Seiger, Karolinska Institute and Aleris Rehab Station Stockholm.[MR scan for brain activity]
In the event of a stroke, an area of the brain is affected by a reduced blood supply and thus a lack of oxygen. The nerve cells in
