Rewiring Motor Function in Motor Neuron Disease (MND) with Cyberdyne

Motor neurone disease (MND) is the name for a group of diseases that affect nerves known as motor nerves, or motor neurons. Motor Neuron Disease (MND) affects over 350,000 people globally, with an estimated 30,000+ cases in India, leading to progressive muscle weakness and loss of motor control. Conventional therapy focuses primarily on symptom management with limited impact on disease progression.

Walk Again's FDA-approved neuromodulation and neurorehabilitation programs use Cyberdyne-powered robotic-assisted training. This approach leverages neuroplasticity and neuroregeneration to actively retrain the nervous system, leading to measurable improvements in muscle strength, speech, swallowing, and overall motor function, surpassing the results of traditional therapy.

Impact of MND (Motor Neuron Disease)

Motor neurone disease (MND) primarily causes physical decline in muscle strength and function, leading to mobility loss. Cognitively, some individuals may develop cognitive impairments. Emotionally, the progressive nature of the disease can cause distress and anxiety. Sensory changes are less common but can include altered sensation or discomfort.

Technologies Used for MND (Motor Neuron Disease)

Where Technology Meets Neuroscience
in MND (Motor Neuron Disease) Rehabilitation

Conventional Neurorehab

  • Traditional, therapy-based approach
  • Focus: Reactive through manual repetition
  • Limited activation of brain pathways
  • Gains often plateau after initial progress

Walk Again Neurorehab

  • Tech-driven, neuro-targeted interventions
  • Reactivate & strengthen damaged neural circuits
  • Uses Robotics, Brain-Machine Interface & FES
  • Promotes continuous improvement with measurable outcomnes

Journey of MND (Motor Neuron Disease) Rehabilitation at Walk Again

  • Step 1 Initial

    Early-stage rehabilitation aims to sustain independence and slow disease progression.

    Goals include maintaining muscular strength, enhancing coordination, and treating early speech or movement issues.

  • Step 2 Advanced

    As MND progresses, treatment shifts to improving quality of life and optimizing residual function.

    For those with speaking difficulties, the focus is on preserving mobility, easing muscular rigidity, and providing communicative support.

  • Step 3 Maintenance Phase

    In later rehabilitation phases, the emphasis is on promoting independence in daily activities, limiting challenges, and providing comfort.

    At this stage, muscle stiffness, breathing difficulties, and swallowing issues are managed.

Recovery is driven by the brain's ability to reorganize and rebuild itself through two complementary processes:

Q1: Does MND always result in total speech and movement loss?

A: Although MND gradually impairs speech and movement, early intervention with speech therapy, mobility training, and communication aids can help people adjust and sustain their independence for longer.

Q2: Which rehabilitation techniques are advised for people with MND?

A: Through specialized treatment plans, rehabilitation aims to safeguard mobility, strengthen muscle, enhance coordination, and manage symptoms including pain, stiffness, and trouble swallowing.

Q3: Which therapies are available for managing breathing issues arising in MND patients?

A: Breathing issues may arise as a result of weakening of the respiratory muscles due to progressing MND. Breathing techniques, postural corrections, and non-invasive ventilation can help control breathing and enhance comfort.

Q4: What dietary modifications can be useful for MND patients with dysphagia?

A: Since swallowing becomes challenging, food modifications such as texture adjustment, compensatory swallowing strategies, and nutrition planning can facilitate safe ingestion and prevent complications.

Q5: Does rehabilitation benefit those with MND in its later stages?

A: Rehabilitation at even late phases can help in promoting comfort, preventing complications, and adapting daily activities to enhance quality of life with supportive measures.
