Mechanised Orthosis for children with neurological disorders (MOTION)

This project, MOTION, addresses two challenges : 
(i) to advance development, validation and adoption of bionic rehabilitation technology for children with neurological disorders to improve quality of life; 
(ii) to set up a transregional network to transfer this rehabilitation technology and related knowledge from research to practical application by linking with industry, healthcare professionals and users and to interact with policy makers for the creation of supportive frameworks. 
If upcoming medical trials prove that rehabilitation with exoskeleton suits leads to a lower total medical costs insurance companies will cover part of the bill and offer the possibility that hundreds of rehabilitation centers open or upgrade their current equipment to include exoskeleton devices which would result in the sale of thousands of units
