Description/abstract
Millions suffer from upper-limb impairments caused by stroke, spinal cord injury, or neurological conditions. These are life-altering challenges that strain both patients and healthcare systems. Current rehabilitation methods are often one-size-fits-all: rigid, repetitive, and demotivating. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the ACORN-PURM project is changing that. It is developing a next-generation rehab system using soft robotics and machine learning to deliver personalised, adaptive therapy. Think real-time adjustments based on fatigue and movement, gamified sessions to boost motivation, and smart tracking of subtle progress. By matching every session to the user’s needs and abilities, ACORN-PURM aims to make therapy more comfortable, engaging, and effective, transforming rehab into something people want to do, not have to do.
