Interactive rehabilitation carpet for children with cerebral palsy (withdrawal competition)

Mission

Transforming pediatric rehabilitation through interactive and engaging solutions that make therapy more effective, accessible, and enjoyable.

The challenge

Children undergoing lower limb rehabilitation, including those with cerebral palsy, often struggle with traditional therapy methods that lack engagement and personalization. Many rehabilitation tools are rigid, fail to address individual progress, and do not incorporate cognitive, social, or emotional aspects, which are crucial for holistic development. Additionally, current solutions require continuous supervision, limiting accessibility at home. There is a pressing need for an interactive and adaptable rehabilitation tool that transforms therapy into an engaging experience, encouraging self-motivated participation while supporting a wide range of pediatric patients who require lower limb rehabilitation through playful and immersive training.

The solution

Our Interactive Carpet is an innovative rehabilitation tool designed for children undergoing lower limb rehabilitation, including those with cerebral palsy and other mobility challenges. It features a film sensor array and interchangeable fabric covers, providing real-time feedback and gamified step-based activities. By blending play with therapy, the carpet encourages self-motivated participation, cognitive engagement, and social interaction while making rehabilitation more effective. Additionally, we have developed a pediatric rehabilitation data platform that enables patients, parents, and doctors to track progress, analyze movement data, and create personalized recovery plans, allowing for real-time monitoring and data-driven decision-making in rehabilitation.
