Mayte will be sharing her experience of integrating robotics in the rehabilitation for a wide range of neurological conditions as stroke, TBI, as well as motor neuron disorders as cerebral palsy. Nipace Centre, is one of Europe's early adopter of robotics in rehabilitating cerebral palsy and some of the most challenging neuromotor disorder conditions.

Mayte will present how the use of wearable robotic exoskeleton programme, EksoNR, in combination with conventional therapy, can bring game-changing patient experience and clinical outcome. Her patients have experienced profound benefits on their cognition, speech and ability to perform activities of daily living leading to improved independence in addition to their improvements in standing, balance and gait quality from integration of robotics.
