The MindMotion™ GO telerehabilitaion program at the Abilities Research Center (ARC), focuses on maximizing the recovery potential of patients after a stroke or brain injury. The program is an intensive technology-supported home rehabilitation program that can be carried out as a standalone therapy plan, or in addition to an existing therapy plan. 

MindMotion™ GO facilitates high-dose training at home through engaging activities for upper-limb, lower-limb, hand or trunk movements with a proprietary medical device and software.

Eligible participants will be enrolled in the program for a minimum of six weeks. After an initial assessment session, a therapist from our team of trained specialists will devise a tailored therapy plan for the patient to be completed from home with a combination of independent sessions and therapist supported virtual sessions.

Participants will receive their own MindMotion™ GO device to use at home to facilitate their sessions. A therapist will closely monitor and track the individual’s progress, and review and adapt the therapy plan accordingly.

Technology

MindMotion™ GO is an FDA-cleared medical device and software used in rehabilitation centers and at home to support the physical rehabilitation of adults with neurological conditions, such as stroke.

It provides an engaging gaming experience that encourages movement of upper limbs, lower limbs, hands and trunk with audio-visual feedback and graphic movement representations. During activities, patients control various avatar characters to fly across the mountains, ski downhill, drive a flying car, climb a rock wall, and fly on a magic carpet, as well as other engaging interactive games.
