Mechanised Orthosis for children with neurological disorders

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A France - Belgium - The Netherlands - United Kingdom (Les Deux Mers / Two seas / Twee Zeeën)

Date of latest update: 2024-12-17

Description

Description (EN):

To advance development, validation and adoption of bionic rehabilitation technology for children with neurological disorders to improve quality of life. Set up a transregional network to facilitate dynamic and innovative knowledge and technology transfer from research to industry, healthcare professionals and users and to interact with policy makers for creation of supportive frameworks.

Achievements (EN):

The MOTION project, concluding in March 2023, achieved significant milestones through collaborative efforts. Partners focused on enhancing international standards for exoskeletons, specifically targeting walking stimulation in children. A comprehensive study involved over 180 participants, leading to the development of multilingual questionnaires. In response to findings, two MOOC training courses were crafted, benefitting 100 attendees across the UK and France. Mechanical modules, including ankle-foot, hip, and lower limb components, reached TRL5 and were tested on both healthy subjects and children with cerebral palsy (CP). This cross-border collaboration enabled the formulation of clinical protocols and a normative database for assessing exoskeleton benefits in rehabilitation. The project's impact extended to creating a transregional network of 300 contacts, facilitating the transfer of technology and knowledge. Results were disseminated through various channels, including press publications, scientific papers, exhibitions, workshops, and webinars, reaching a wide audience. Despite challenges such as the Covid-19 crisis and Brexit, the project delivered three functional modules and a smart garment. Proudly announcing success, the MOTION project will continue working on exoskeleton tests on ankles, hips, and lower limbs with a turn, wanting to explore new rehabilitation methods at home for children with CP. The journey continues with the RE:HOME project, approved under the Interreg North-West Europe Programme.
