Physical rehabilitation

Dr. Kalron’s research focus is on new (and traditional) physical rehabilitation treatments that affect the brain and improve mobility functions (walking and balance) Additionally, physical activity is a significant interest of the lab, as it has a huge impact on brain function, especially for people suffering from damage in the CNS The main interest is people suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS), in addition to other population groups, such as ALS and stroke . T his line of research will add new insights into the neural mechanisms of physical rehabilitation and open new frontiers for the treatment of people with central neurological damage . Dr. Kalron's work involves creating and testing new rehabilitation treatments that promote brain plasticity and restore lost mobility functions He challenges conventional thinking by combining new technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR ), while tracking the impact via advanced motion sensors in/outside the laboratory environment focusing on real-life situations .
