Beschrijving (Original)

MOTION, Mechanised orthosis for children with neurological disorders, is an Interreg 2Seas project which aims to:
• Improve the quality of life of children with neurological disorders through advancements in development, validation and adoption of bionic rehabilitation technology.
• Facilitate knowledge and technology transfer from research to industry, healthcare professionals, end users and policy makers by setting up a transregional network.

Within the MOTION project, Mobilab & Care is collaborating on an active ankle exoskeleton to help children with the neurological disorder CP walk more easily. With this exoskeleton, we want to improve the quality of life for children with CP. CP stands for cerebral palsy and is a neurological disorder that impairs the coordination between the central nervous system and the muscles. As a result, children with CP often find it difficult to walk, and this issue is addressed with the MOTION project through the use and development of rehabilitation technology.

MOTION is an Interreg 2Seas project called Mechanised Orthosis for Children with Neurological Disorders. The project aims to improve the quality of life of children with neurological disorders through advancements in the development, validation, and adoption of bionic rehabilitation technology. Additionally, MOTION seeks to facilitate knowledge and technology transfer from research to various stakeholders such as industry, healthcare professionals, end users, and policy makers by establishing a transregional network.

One of the collaborations within the MOTION project involves Mobilab & Care working on an active ankle exoskeleton designed to assist children with the neurological disorder known as cerebral palsy (CP) in walking more easily. Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects the coordination between the central nervous system and muscles, making it challenging for children with CP to walk. The goal of the exoskeleton developed in the MOTION project is to enhance the quality of life for these children by addressing mobility issues related to CP through the utilization and advancement of rehabilitation technology.
