hunova® during active control tasks and balance tasks in

seated position.

Obtained results showed how hunova® can be a useful

rehabilitation tool for evaluation and training in spinal cord

injury.

Conclusions:

hunova® can be a useful and powerful

rehabilitation tool for evaluation and training and a

considerable number of clinical trials have been set up

and will be completed to validate the technology. hunova®

allows to measure significant parameters of static and

dynamic stability and can centralize a complex progression

of exercises to recover trunk control and reactive balance

after traumatic injuries.

Speaker Biography
