GOGOA Mobility Robots successfully concluded the exoskeleton training course for the REVITAL Project, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) under the Interreg V SUDOE program and led by the SIVI Cluster. The course, framed in this project that promotes the socioeconomic revitalization of low population density areas through clinical telecare and advanced rehabilitation technologies, ended after a week of intense learning and practice at the MOVEX CLINICS facilities, Bilbao.
The course, which ran from September 16 to 19, 2024, focused on the use of cutting-edge exoskeletons such as HANK and BELK, along with complementary devices such as the “Hand of Hope” (HoH) robotic arm and stabilometric platforms.
The training was taught by one of the clinics’ leading neurological physiotherapy specialists, who led both theoretical and practical sessions with real patients, providing participants with a comprehensive and cutting-edge experience in the use of these technologies for neurorehabilitation.
Closing of the course and delivery of diplomas
The final training day took place on September 19, which included intensive training and discussion of additional clinical cases. The closing ceremony concluded with the presentation of diplomas and pilot licenses for the HANK exoskeleton, granting participants the necessary certification to use these tools in a clinical environment.
This course has provided professionals with advanced knowledge in robotic rehabilitation, preparing them to offer innovative and effective therapies, especially in regions where these technologies can have a transformative impact on patients’ lives.
GOGOA thus reaffirmed its commitment to excellence in the training of professionals and the application of advanced technological solutions in the field of rehabilitation.
Both the objectives and the results foreseen in the REVITAL project are considered of great interest for the regions in which it will be carried out, Castilla y León (Spain), Central Portugal and Nouvelle-Aquitaine (France), and for other SUDOE regions, due to the common challenge and need of these inland rural areas is to revitalize their economic and social fabric, promoting employment opportunities that solve social challenges from the perspective of innovation, combining social needs with development opportunities.
