Toyra: Realidad virtual para ayudar a personas parapléjicas

La rehabilitación es un proceso complejo que necesita tiempo, dedicación y control. Las variantes de estos tres pilares varían de acuerdo al paciente, pero las reiteradas visitas a un hospital o consultorio para llevarla adelante pueden disminuir la motivación de los pacientes. Para evitar esto y aumentar los resultados positivos en el proceso, la compañía española Indra desarrolló Toyra.

Toyra es un sistema que combina la realidad virtual con la captación de movimientos en tiempo real, para la rehabilitación motriz de miembros superiores como hombro, brazo, antebrazo y mano, permitiendo a los pacientes hacer los ejercicios de rehabilitación desde su hogar.

Esta metodología está basada en tecnologías como la Kinect de Microsoft y sensores inerciales que toman la posición y ubicación del paciente a fines de recrear sus movimientos. Una vez que el paciente está conectado, el sistema elabora un avatar que recrea todos los movimientos que éste realiza.

Esta captura de movimientos funciona como fuente de información sobre el nivel de rehabilitación en el que se encuentra la persona y el progreso que hace en el tiempo. Para ello, la plataforma lleva un registro de los ejercicios realizados y cómo fueron hechos para que los médicos puedan hacer un análisis del progreso e ir mejorando los ejercicios a medida que la rehabilitación avanza. Cada uno de los ejercicios fue diseñado por especialistas en el cuidado de la salud que se desempeñan específicamente en el campo de la rehabilitación de personas parapléjicas.

Realidad virtual

Toyra está pensado para formar parte de una institución, instalado en sus servidores privados, o bien en uno al que médicos y pacientes ajenos a éstas puedan acceder. En torno a esto, la plataforma está disponible en ‘la nube’, ofreciendo a los profesionales actualizaciones del sistema de manera inmediata y sin costo adicional.

Esta herramienta se utiliza desde 2011 en el Hospital de Parapléjicos de Toledo con ‘resultados positivos y permite la ejecución de ejercicios terapéuticos de manera interactiva, incentivando la motivación del individuo respecto a su tratamiento. En 2013, con la incorporación de la tecnología en ‘la nube’, se impulsa la deslocalización de los tratamientos que permita la rehabilitación de manera remota una vez que se ha dado de alta al paciente.

Finalmente, Toyra cuenta con dos modalidades diferentes: Toyra Autónomo y Toyra Asistido. Mientras que la primera está orientada a pacientes que han logrado un grado de autonomía que les permite ejecutar las terapias por sí mismos, la segunda está pensada para ejecutarse en la fase inicial del proceso de rehabilitación en entornos hospitalarios.
