recoveriX for Parkinson's
Study Results

Promising Results for Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder characterized by tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia, which gradually impair movement and coordination over time. recoveriX includes for Parkinson’s patients 24 therapy sessions, along with pre- and post-assessments. Here present an example of a female patients, who performed the following tests:

Timed Up & Go (TUG): Assesses functional mobility by measuring the time (in seconds) it takes a patient to get up from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn around, and sit down again. Normal time: 10 seconds.
10 Meter Walk Test (10MWT): A clinical assessment used to measure walking speed and gait performance over a short distance, typically used to evaluate functional mobility in individuals with gait impairments. Normal time: 7 seconds.
Box and Block Test (BBT): Evaluates manual dexterity and gross motor skills by assessing how many wooden blocks a participant can transfer from one compartment to another within a set time frame. Commonly used in rehabilitation to track progress and tailor treatment plans for individuals with upper extremity impairments. Normal: 65 blocks.
Nine Hole Peg Test (9HPT): A standardized assessment used to measure manual dexterity by timing how quickly an individual can place nine pegs into a pegboard and then remove them one by one. Normal time: 24 seconds.

In the two pre-assessments, the TUG time was around 27 seconds. The patient showed a significant improvement, eventually reaching approximately 13 seconds, which corresponds to a percentage improvement of 52%.

The 10MWT for self-selected velocity (SSV) was around 13 seconds before recoveriX treatment, and the patient quickly improved with the recoveriX treatment. By the end, the patient needed about 7 seconds, again reflecting a substantial improvement of 44%. Similarly, also the patient’s fast velocity (FV) 10MWT improved by 33%.

The BBT and 9HPT show improvements in both gross- and fine motor function in the patient’s respective hands.

The patient reported after the recoveriX treatment that she is able to play darts with very high precision and that she has improved in archery. Currently the clinical study is ongoing.
Also have a look at our before and after videos, where you can see the improvements, stroke, multiple sclerosis etc. patients, made with the help of recoveriX!

Quantified gains in mobility, dexterity, and motor control

recoveriX Therapy: Before vs. After Results

Mrs. Drechsler learned about recoveriX Neurorehabilitation for stroke and multiple sclerosis and decided to try it for her Parkinson’s disease. After training, she experienced noticeable improvements, including better concentration, faster gait, and improved movement control. These changes were especially visible in her darts performance, where she demonstrated greater focus and precision. Motivated to actively support her health and physical function, she values recoveriX as an innovative approach that helped enhance her daily mobility and coordination.

The Parkinson’s disease client performed the timed up and go test here. This test assesses mobility and requires balance and coordination. The test measures the time, in seconds, it takes a patient to get up from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn around and sit down again.

Here this Parkinson’s disease client performed the Box and Block Test which evaluates manual dexterity and gross motor skills by assessing how many wooden blocks a participant can transfer from one compartment to another within a set time frame. It’s commonly used in rehabilitation to track progress and tailor treatment plans for individuals with upper extremity impairments.
