Number of jobs committed in contract: 14 (jobs for ex-nuclear workers 10).
CNCP financial commitment: £54,814 as capital grant, including £4,109 for additional research.
Plan
The project objective is to establish an economically viable enterprise manufacturing semi-rigid pneumatic rehabilitation protheses
including automated control systems intended for the limb rehabilitation of patients suffering traumas or paralysis and for a
prophylactic approach towards diseases connected with the restriction of movement.
Widely used static rehabilitation systems do not ensure movements in jointures or muscle contraction and therefore cannot influence
the peripheral hemodynamics in the affected extremity. The proposed systems not only allow jointure movement, which in itself guarantees
a better and faster healing, but also provides for active rehabilitation exercises using air pressure to constrain and stimulate muscle
activity.
According to the project, a production of such advanced devices will be established. The annual sales volume could reach 9 m RUR.
Assuming a profitability of 15 %, the payback period will be 3 years.
