In order to induce neuroplasticity, advanced and innovative technologies are studied and tested in the clinical setting. At the forefront of these technologies is robotics and, in particular, Cobots (short for Collaborative Robot), machines capable of establishing a relationship with the individual, interacting with him/her to the point that they can predict his/her intentions to move. Equally important is the field of neuromodulation: integrated electrical stimulation of muscles during motion, transcutaneous spinal stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation, which can be combined with robotic devices to selectively stimulate and modulate specific cerebral or spinal control circuits, thus facilitating new learning methods of motor and cognitive functions. An important role is played by the preparation of new virtual reality, mirror therapy and biofeedback systems. Finally, artificial intelligence is used in the management of the technological devices and processing of clinical and instrumental data.  

Due to the marked synergy with the Villa Beretta Rehabilitation Centre, our activity is from bench to patient, from research and the laboratory directly to the patient. Individualized targeted translational care processes supported by the prompt application of new knowledge and rehabilitation instruments tested in the laboratory are put into practice. Interdisciplinary teams ensure that the research and innovation activities integrate with the conventional rehabilitation procedures. The individual’s emotional and relational sphere is also cared for at the same levels as other treatments, to restore his/her dignity, serenity and plans for life. In a unique place: connected to the world.
