Exoskeleton and Wearables Enhanced Prevention and Treatment

Im TUM Innovation Network eXprt arbeitet ein multidisziplinäres Team aus den Ingenieurwissenschaften, Neurowissenschaften und klinischer Neurologie gemeinsam daran, tragbare Technologien zu entwickeln. Das Projekt stellt Instrumente bereit, um sensomotorische und kognitive Beeinträchtigungen des täglichen Lebens sensibel zu erkennen. Durch Erkenntnisse der Neuroingenieurwissenschaften werden die Forschungsergebnisse verlorene motorische Funktionen effizient kompensieren und so eine Verschlechterung des Zustands verhindern und die Lebensqualität der bedürftigen Menschen verbessern.
