- Researchers in Plzeň and Deggendorf developed a device to support and stabilize knee movement after surgery or injury.
- The device also monitors patients’ brain activity and is being tested under medical supervision before certification.
Scientists from the University of West Bohemia in Plzeň and Technische Hochschule Deggendorf have developed a new rehabilitation aid for patients recovering from knee surgery or a knee injury.
The device helps patients move the knee and stabilizes the joint during rehabilitation. It also monitors the patient’s brain activity, adding neurological observation to the physical support provided during exercises.
A functional prototype is now being tested under the supervision of healthcare professionals. It must still receive certification before it can be used more broadly.
