Athlete with Amputated Leg
The Project is the continuation of Postdoctoral Research

Design Research for User-friendly Guidance of Complex Whole-body Rehabilitation for Lower Extremity Amputees by Means of Extended Reality and Advanced Wearables Data Processing

Use cases for the technological solution

scoliosis

Use case - deep core muscle activation
The Performance Pyramid

A_REHAB_ILUSTRATION-PIRAMID.jpg

Core muscle strength is the beginning of a quality movement, optimized energy expenditure, and endurance starting from everyday activities to sports.

The challenge is to acknowledge whether deep muscles are activated at all and how to do it.
