Cette thérapie, dont le matériel tient dans une petite mallette, fonctionne grâce à la réalité virtuelle. Un écran, une webcam, une paire de lunettes noires, un bonnet muni d’électrodes et un gant : le patient s’équipe, appuie sur «ON» et la séance débute.

Portable, accessible and easy to use, the “Nano” represents a small revolution in neuromuscular rehabilitation after a cerebro-vascular accident. This therapy, using equipment that fits into a small briefcase, works using virtual reality. It consists of a screen, a webcam, a pair of dark glasses, a helmet fitted with electrodes, and a glove: the patient puts on the equipment, presses “ON” and the session starts. This ease of use makes it suitable for daily practice at home. “The first few weeks are known to be the most important for recovery. This is when many people give up”, emphasizes Tej Tadi, founder of MindMaze, the start-up based at The Garage – EPFL’s breeding-ground for new companies – which is developing the "Nano".
