🧠 KINE-SIM® – Balance Training and Cognitive Stimulation in Virtual Reality
Developed by KINESIQ, the KINE-SIM® system is an innovative robotic platform designed to improve balance, posture, and motor coordination. Integrated into Neuro-Concept’s rehabilitation programs, this technology replicates real-life scenarios in an immersive and safe virtual environment—making therapy more effective and enjoyable.
⚙️ What Is KINE-SIM®?
The KINE-SIM® combines:
- Motorized dual platforms that generate controlled multidirectional balance perturbations,
- Interactive virtual reality environments, adapted to the user’s goals and abilities,
- An intuitive interface allowing autonomous or therapist-guided sessions.
It’s a cutting-edge solution that targets motor, cognitive, sensory, and functional rehabilitation.
👥 Who Can Benefit?
KINE-SIM® is suitable for a wide range of users:
- Neurological rehabilitation: stroke, MS, Parkinson’s disease, incomplete spinal cord injury, ataxia
- Orthopedic & sports injury recovery: knee, hip, ankle surgery or trauma
- Fall prevention and senior wellness: postural stability, mobility confidence
- Mobility and performance enhancement: proprioception and control for active adults and athletes
🧩 How Does It Work?
Key principle: balance training through controlled perturbation.
The platforms shift in various directions, prompting the body to automatically recruit stabilizing muscles and postural strategies. This challenges:
- Core and pelvic muscles (deep stabilizers, glutes, trunk)
- Lower limbs (quads, calves, hamstrings)
- Balance reactions (ankle, hip, step strategies)
💡 Good to know:
KINE-SIM® exercises simulate daily life activities (e.g., stepping onto a bus, climbing stairs, avoiding obstacles) and can be progressively adjusted to your level.
🧠 Physical and Cognitive Benefits
Virtual environments are not only fun—they stimulate the brain. Sessions can improve:
- Attention and focus
- Foot-eye coordination
- Motor planning
- Working memory and reaction time
This dual-action therapy is particularly effective for complex neurorehabilitation.
✅ Safe, Adaptable and Engaging
- Built-in handrails and safety harness
- Usable standing, semi-seated or seated
- Designed for progressive autonomy and motivation
- Real-time feedback and data tracking
🎯 Why Use KINE-SIM® at Neuro-Concept?
- Access to a professional and fully adapted rehab gym
- Integrated into a multidisciplinary care plan with physio, OT and kinesiology
- Possibility of independent access to the system during gym hours (based on clinical eligibility)
