STEPS Rehabilitation rolls out neuro-restorative digital therapeutic technology

STEPS Rehabilitation is now home to an immersive neuro-animation experience that delivers brain repair.

The MindPod is a digital therapeutic platform for neuro-restoration by MindMaze, a provider of digital neuro-therapeutics solutions with a mission to accelerate the brain’s ability to recover, learn and adapt.

MindPod is an immersive gaming environment for adults that involves clients controlling the movement of an animated dolphin and other sea creatures, as part of their rehabilitation programme.

STEPS is using this innovative neuro-restorative digital therapeutic technology to support intensive rehabilitation for people recovering from brain injury, spinal cord injury, complex trauma injuries, and stroke.

A recently completed study shows that the MindPod doubles the effectiveness of conventional rehab for upper limb recovery in stroke, and STEPS plan to undertake new clinical studies to see how these results translate across other client groups.
