ALLADIN

A helping hand for making the right decision in neurorehabilitation: ALLADIN provides the solution to a worldwide need to tailor the rehabilitation of stroke patients, so that it meets both their functional and societal needs, and restores their independence.

A stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks the blood circulation in the brain or when a blood vessel ruptures. The cells in the affected brain area are destroyed and the patient loses the use of one side of the body.

Every year there are about 20 million new stroke incidents in the world. This means that approximately one in every thousand people will get a stroke.

Today we know that physical and functional training are of paramount importance in stroke rehabilitation in enabling patients to regain a good level of independency. Despite this,we are still unable to answer the questions every patient has: "Will I be able to walk again; will I be able to drink tea with my friends..."

The ALLADIN project:

  • Offers a reliable standard for calculating and predicting the functional recovery of stroke patients.
  • Creates conformity in the communication and understanding of neurorehabilitation data.
  • Makes clinical reasoning and quantitative measurements exchangeable in a user friendly way.
  • Outputs a numerical code attached to an operational definition of a milestone, or marker for functional recovery, very similar to the International Classification of Functions (ICF).
