The technology is based on the principle of associating real and virtual movement between the person and their digital avatar. The user intuitively understands how to control the avatar's movements. Here, the principle of the ideomotor phenomenon is applied: as soon as there is an idea of movement, nerve impulses appear that provide it. This can help to form new neural networks to construct human movements.
VR App Prototype
The prototype application is based on the Oculus VR platform. The user can exercise either in a medical facility or at home, which allows patients to continue their rehabilitation course when hospitalization comes to its end. Also, the mobile application for Android and iOS is currently during its release stage. The app will make the rehabilitation process more flexible.

Efficiency of technology
The effectiveness of the technology has been proven by tests: 60% of participants reported positive changes in their condition. Changes occurred not only in locomotor activity, but also in the psycho-emotional state of the participants.
Your center will be able to offer top-of-the-line high-tech equipment
Different types of therapy
Supports the best clinical traditions through an innovative approach to rehabilitation
Reduces the workload of the staff
The medical team will be able to monitor patients' progress remotely and conduct therapy for more patients
Benefits for medical centers
Follow the progress
Personal account with statistics, reports, and evaluation of the set of exercises
Trials results
2 pilot studies have been conducted since 2019
Research was carried out in Novosibirsk and Tomsk. Over 30 people took part in the product trials. Rivermead mobility index, Renkin scale, and Hauser Ambulation Index were used to analyze the effectiveness of rehabilitation. Functional activity was measured on internationally verified scales; the emotional state was measured on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).
There were changes in locomotor activity and improvements in the psycho-emotional state
60% of participants pointed out positive changes in their condition
