June 3, 2024 – Villa Beretta Rehabilitation Research Innovation Institute and BioXtreme Rehabilitation Robotics are proud to announce the launch of a new joint clinical trial at our facility in Costa Masnaga
Villa Beretta Rehabilitation Research Innovation Institute and BioXtreme Rehabilitation Robotics are proud to announce this launch.
- BioXtreme Rehabilitation Robotics has developed plaXtreme, a groundbreaking robotic device for motor-learning, based on innovative error enhancement technology for finger and palm rehabilitation post-stroke and other neurological injuries.
- The clinical trial is focusing on the effect of plaXtreme’s Error Enhancement technology on stroke and traumatic brain injury patients in the sub-acute and chronic phases. The trial involves 32 patients who are adhering to a strict treatment protocol established by our staff and BioXtreme’s experts.
- The project is supervised by Dr. Franco Molteni, our Clinical Director, and Eng. Eleonora Guanziroli, senior researcher and the head of the Bioengineering Lab. The hospital’s therapeutic staff has already been trained to operate the device, and the project has commenced with the recruitment of the first patients who have started the treatment protocol.
- This clinical trial further solidifies the cooperation between VBRRII and BioXtreme, which began with the installation of deXtreme™ (upper limbs) at the rehabilitation lab. It also puts our institute yet again at the forefront of innovation in rehabilitation technology and strengthens our commitment to providing the best and most advanced care possible to our patients.
