IDSIA USI-SUPSI and Emovo Care published the article 'A mirror therapy system using virtual reality and an actuated exoskeleton for the recovery of hand motor impairments: a study of acceptability, usability, and embodiment' in Scientific Reports by Nature (IF: 4.997).

"The research focuses on a revolutionary device that leverages cutting-edge technologies to enhance the hand rehabilitation process.

The team, comprising Antonio Paolillo, Gabriele Abbate, and Alessandro Giusti, SUPSI's researchers at the Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IDSIA USI-SUPSI), along with Luca Randazzo from Emovo Care, designed and tested three working modes involving 21 healthy participants.

The study revealed the significant potential of the system as a clinical tool, also highlighting the possible social and economic implications of its usage.

This progress in hand rehabilitation could open new perspectives for improving the quality of life for patients and reducing the social and economic impacts of motor disabilities.
