BTs Nirvana and Post-stroke Rehab

Nirvana is the first device based on optoelectronic infrared sensors, though which the patient can simply interact through his movements. The rehabilitation exercises with audio-visual stimuli and feedback involve the perceptual-cognitive skills of patients, resulting in a motivational training. Several modes and increasing levels of difficulty characterize each exercise, so the therapist can use a pre-defined rehabilitative solution or new ones, according to patient's needs. The results achieved during rehabilitation allow the therapist to evaluate the patient's actual progress, and then to modify the rehabilitation program. The system is connected to a projector or a big screen (put in front of the patient), reproducing an interactive series of exercises (for trunk, upper and lower limbs, and cognition), thanks to an infrared video camera analyzing the patient's movements, it creates interactivity.
