Implants, exoskeletons and VR: how countries introduce technologies for movement rehabilitation Every fourth person over the age of 25 suffers a stroke during their lifetime, and 250-500 thousand people worldwide suffer from spinal cord injuries every year. Rehabilitation is critical, and technology is increasingly helping to restore movement. If projects are connected, the industry follows two tracks. 1 affordable rehabilitation at home: VR, smart gloves, apps; Focus on mass participation, low price and daily short lessons outside the clinic. 2 Expensive high-tech: implants, electrodes in the spinal cord, exoskeletons that read brain signals; For now, these are partial experiments that promise movement "by the power of thought" and recovery from serious injuries. The balance is about 50/50: both in Russia and around the world, some teams rely on household gadgets, while others rely on complex implants and neural interfaces. Russia VR GO (Tomsk) —. Oculus-based VR application for the rehabilitation of motor activity after a stroke or spinal cord injury. The patient tries to repeat the movements of the injured limb with his healthy hand. The simulator has already been tested in clinics in Moscow and the Leningrad region, with positive changes in 60% of participants. ReviVR (Samara University of Medicine) -. A VR enclosure with tactile feedback that simulates walking. Also suitable for bedridden patients and people without motor functions. Senso Rehab - smart gloves with sensors and artificial intelligence for the restoration of fine motor skills. According to the developers, the efficiency is 2.5 times higher than conventional exercise therapy. used in 140 clinics, including Moscow and Sechenov University; Home workouts are possible for 20 minutes a day. USA, Reach Neuro (University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University) - Implantation of electrodes in the cervical spinal cord to restore arm movements after a stroke. South Korea - exoskeleton for legs with AI.
