LOWER LIMB: body tracking and mixed virtual reality for posture, gait and balance, fall prevention and neurorehabilitation

Currently, rehabilitation care for people with spinal cord injuries and other physical disabilities faces significant challenges in terms of accessibility, personalization, and effectiveness.

The need to address these challenges has led to the identification of a real gap in the supply of innovative technological solutions that effectively integrate body tracking technologies into mixed virtual reality environments, specifically designed for lower limb rehabilitation.

Despite advances in the field of rehabilitation and neurorehabilitation, there is a gap in the availability of tools that allow precise and personalized monitoring of the posture, gait and balance of users during these rehabilitation processes. Traditional methods often lack the ability to adapt to individual needs and to provide a motivating and realistic environment for the practice of therapeutic exercises.

In this context, LOWER LIMB will focus on the research of methods and technologies that can help to understand and control human biological systems and their interaction with the environment, including the validation through controlled piloting of an innovative prototype that integrates “body tracking” technologies in mixed virtual reality environments with the aim of the future development of new comprehensive products/services,  Personalized and efficient for the rehabilitation of lower limbs of the human body and prevention of falls.

The Cluster of Innovative Solutions for Independent Living (SIVI) coordinates this project, which has the participation of our partners Impúlsame Consultoría y Estrategia, the Center for Transition to Employment (CETEO) and the Confederation of People with Physical Disabilities of Castilla y León (COCEMFE CyL).
