Reuth Rehabilitation Hospital - BioXtreme Joint Clinical Trial Research Project
Reuth Rehabilitation Hospital and BioXtreme are proud to announce that they have agreed to conduct a joint clinical trial research project in the hospital’s facility in Tel-Aviv, Israel.
BioXtreme has developed a ground-breaking robotic device for motor-learning, based on innovative error enhancement technology for upper limb rehabilitation from stroke and other neurological injuries. Reuth is one of the biggest rehabilitation hospitals in Israel with a cutting-edge R&D department.
The research project will focus on the effect of BioXtreme’s Error Enhancement technology on stroke inpatients, in the sub-acute phase, at least 3 weeks post stroke. The research will focus on the clinical and kinematic effects of treatment using the company’s robotic device, deXtreme, in the hospital’s facilities.
The research will be supervised by Reuth R&D department, headed by Dr. Michael Brik With Dr. Rami Mansur as principal investigator. All research procedures will be preformed according to the instructions of the Belgium Ministry of Health regarding clinical trials and following Helsinki’s ethical protocol. The Research is planned to include 49 stroke patients in total. Expected start date is September 2021, estimated completion of the research by September-October 2022.
