Introduce interactive rehabilitation with Neuroforma PRO

In the Neurological Rehabilitation Department, approximately 30 patients were offered the chance to work with the Neuroforma system. They found the programme very helpful and were eager to participate in the training. Our opinion of the Neuroforma system could really not be more positive.

After being given the opportunity to test the Neuroforma program, we were amazed to find out how user-friendly and easy to use it was, while offering a variety of exercises in the field of spatial orientation, visual and motor coordination, and proprioceptive facilitation. Patients with short-term memory disorders and those with hemispatial neglect were also included. The program is suitable for patients to use it at home, while a very clear and intuitive menu makes it is that use really simple. Competition and reward mechanisms provide
an added incentive effect. There is yet another advantage: a feature that enables you to program selected sets of exercises in the memory, e.g. those that the patient likes most or those that are the most desirable. Data from the training session is automatically saved and analyzed, and then presented in the form of short and long-term reports. The program daily reminds the patient about the training session, which helps to keep the rehabilitation regularly performed.

I am not familiar with “non-scientific” organisations that would be as eager as the Titanis to take advantage of the latest scientific developments and try to apply research results to develop their products. Certainly, such actions increase the credibility and effectiveness of solutions offered by Titanis.

I had the opportunity to meet the Titanis company during an internship under the “Internship as a successful scientist” programme. (December 2013 to May 2014). I am not familiar with “non-scientific” organisations that would be as eager as the Titanis to take advantage of the latest scientific developments and try to apply research results (e.g. in the field of brain imaging, computer-brain interaction, etc.) to develop their products. Certainly, such actions increase the credibility and effectiveness of solutions offered by Titanis. Another advantage of the company is its experience in obtaining development funds and research grants. As a fairly young organization, it has a lot of projects and won competitions for funds, thanks to which it implements ambitious scientific projects and introduces innovative products to the market. This proves the great potential of the company. Personally, I am full of admiration for the company, its employees and achievements.

Neuroforma was awarded the title of the “Innovative Polish Product” by the National Consultant for Physiotherapy, dr n. biol. Zbigniew Wroński.

The award was handed over to the representative of Titanis Sp. z o.o. on September 18, 2015 in Łódź. It means that Neuforoma, as a modern computer program that combines motor and cognitive exercises, is a leading innovative product in the field of physiotherapy in Poland.

Getting to know the editor of the exercises of the program allowed me to assess that the Neuroforma application is a valuable addition to the classic model of rehabilitation of sick people.

I met the co-creator of Neuroforma, Mateusz Kruszyński at a congress devoted to rehabilitation. We started our research plans related to the evaluation of the effects of the application of the programme with the European Union’s programme ‘Internship as a Successful Scientist’. Getting to know the editor of exercises of the programme allowed me to assess that the application of Neuroform is a valuable complement to the classic model of rehabilitation of patients. The ease of its application, the possibility to work on a classic PC, the possibility to create and evaluate rehabilitation programmes with the simultaneous provision of feedback to the exercising patient on the correctness of performed exercises enable effective supplementation of the standard rehabilitation programme.

Neuroforma is a priceless addition to the motor rehabilitation of stroke patients and patients with cognitive impairment

It is also further very attractive as it offers a vast array of exercises and the option to choose tasks from a given category, allowing to simultaneously enhance cognitive functions and visual and motor coordination. Patients are eager to participate in the training, they try to beat their own record from previous training sessions, and they compete with each other too. There is a visible improvement in cognitive functions after implementing therapy with Neuroforma. Neuroforma is an effective tool in the therapy of patients with CNS damage. The program allows you to select difficulty levels and the required range of movement, so that you can work with patients with even poor motor capability. Constant monitoring of progress and on-going adjustment of exercises allow for adapting tasks to the patient’s current motor and cognitive capability, as well as developing and monitoring the achieved results. Neuroforma is greatly appreciated and it has become a permanent therapy component for our patients. Sometimes it virtually spurs rivalry between patients. Its another advantage is that the patient can practice himself at home, using the home version of Neuroforma. The program is truly worth recommending as an enjoyable support for motor and cognitive rehabilitation. Patients conveniently recover their lost functions, while real results give them satisfaction and motivate for further efforts. We are satisfied with the experience we had with the software, while its further modifications make it easier for us to work with patients on a daily basis.

The rehabilitation process for each patient should be intense and it should last until the function is recovered to the greatest degree possible, which is why we believe Neuroforma is a perfect supplement to, for example, occupational therapy in facilities working with neurological patients.

We would like to express our gratitude for the opportunity to use the NEUROFORMA program to support the rehabilitation of our patients. Last summer, the employees of our clinic tested the NEUROFORMA computer device when working with patients. The opinion of the clinic on implementing rehabilitation using the tested device is positive. Therapists working with the device indicate a variety of possibilities to use the NEUROFORMA program when working with patients with neurological diseases or who have suffered a neurological event. Firstly, the sitting position does not require toomuch involvement of the whole body, while focusing on the precision of movements and maximum concentration on the task at hand. Selected programs allow you to appropriately adjust the difficulty level individually for each patient. Rehabilitation using NEUROFORMA is perfectly suitable for the treatment of patients with MS, Parkinson’s disease and those who have suffered other type of nervous system damage. The programs are designed to improve manual capacity, elicit making precise movements and train cognitive functions.

The General Council of the Polish Society for Multiple Sclerosis is looking with great interest and hope at the work of Titanis team computer scientists who are preparing a computer program to support the rehabilitation of people with multiple sclerosis.

The Polish Multiple Sclerosis Society is pleased to provides patronage for this project. At the same time, we consent to the use of the PTSR logo by the Titanis team along with information about the patronage granted in places promoting the project (e.g. website www.titanis.pl, presentations etc.). For its part, the Polish Multiple Sclerosis Society undertakes to cooperate with the team within the scope of informing about the program through the PTSR websites. We are also ready to partner with the Titanis team in the case of creating projects and applying for grants that will allow for faster completion of work and making the program available to people suffering from multiple sclerosis.

The Neuroforma system is a very good supplement to rehabilitation in the “TRATWA” Centre; it motivates children to train and helps to achieve the greatest comprehensive improvement effect possible.

Not only did the training with Neuroforma improve the strength and endurance of the muscles and the range of movement of joints of the upper limb and torso. When using it in my work, I have also observed progress in other motor aspects, such as: movement fluidity, movement precision, visual-motor coordination. Neuroforma not only is useful for developing the aforementioned motor functions, but it can also be used to develop cognitive functions, such as perception, attention and memory. Neuroforma allows you to constantly and accurately control the progress of particular patients, and children themselves are greatly rewarded by reaching a higher level after many attempts. During the training, all children are genuinely focused and interested in particular tasks.

The inclusion of the Neuroforma program in our multi-profile rehabilitation package made the centre’s offer substantially more attractive, contributed to the improvement of the mental and motor condition of many patients, so that I can sincerely recommend cooperation with Titanis Sp. z o.o.

We have been using the Neuroforma program for the neurological rehabilitation of our patients for over a year. In my opinion, it is a truly excellent complement to the conventional therapeutic process that develops motor skills, coordination and stimulates cognitive processes. Due to a variety of exercises and the feature allowing for changing the parameters thereof and designing tasks it offers, so far we have implemented the program for the rehabilitation of approx. 60 patients of different ages and with various diseases, e.g. cerebral palsy, post-traumatic conditions, post-stroke conditions, genetic diseases, etc. Computer applications are greatly appreciated by our youngest patients, they motivate them to the training, so that they improve their abilities while simply having fun, which makes it far more effective. An additional advantage of Neuroforma is the feature that allows you to record results and track statistics. With it, you can monitor therapeutic progress, select the optimal training parameters and adapt them to the patient’s abilities.
