Description
Revolutionary new device for treating Parkinson's.
Get involved in biotech innovation.
- The Reviver device was designed to improve balance and mobility in patients who have difficulty exercising, and allows people to exercise far beyond their unassisted capacity,
- Including those who are so debilitated that they were no longer able to perform exercise.
- It works by placing the user at a tilted angle and rotating them around. This activates the vestibular system and reflexively contracts muscles.
- We are measuring physical improvement and neuroplasticity obtained from using the device.
Potential roles of student:
1) Running intervention sessions
- Supervising patients on the Reviver machine and guiding their exercises.
2) Data analysis:
MRI
- Diffusion MRI, functional MRI and structural MRI.
- Perivascular spaces
