NIMBLE, “Assessing and modeling the mechanisms of recovery during robot aided neurorehabilitation of walking”
Abstract
NIMBLE aims at improving current robotic exoskeletons for walking rehabilitation developing a novel modeling-based optimization framework to promote neuroplasticity with novel tools for control and management of the longitudinal robotic treatment. These computational tools will be derived from pervasive monitoring, longitudinal investigation of the evolution of the therapy and statistical models of the neurorehabilitation process. Besides, computational methods for neuromusculoskeletal simulations will be developed to investigate, generate and test novel datasets used as control reference for the robotic controllers. NIMBLE will put in place a required research strategy that will put emphasis on gaining a better understanding of the mechanisms of neuroplasticity, to determine how to reliably induce and exploit it to maximize therapeutic outcomes.
