KINE-SIM®: Balance & Neuro Rehab in Virtual Reality

🧠 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)

Empower your rehabilitation with a cutting-edge, engaging tool that moves with you—literally.

Our team will assess your mobility, balance and needs to determine how KINE-SIM® can be integrated into your personalized rehabilitation plan.
