Technical / technological capabilities

LUNEX is equipped with high-end innovative technologies in the rehabilitation field as a sensorised treadmill for clinically feasible motor assessment and a novel training device providing selective muscular-tendon stimulation with square wave mechanical-sound vibrations. Such solutions aim to accelerate physical activity’s functional recovery, inducing sensory-motor and cognitive improvements to speed up recovery from an injury or training impairments of motor functions.

Treadmill and cycle ergometers combined with modern spirometry and blood analysis systems allow cardio-vascular and respiratory assessment and monitoring in elite sports and rehabilitation fields. LUNEX is equipped with high-density EEG systems, neurocognitive assessment tools and state-of-the-art exergaming technology to test and train the central nervous system, improve sports performance, and counteract age-related cognitive decline.
