Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Our Mission: To drive translational and clinical research in rehabilitation, from pathophysiology and cellular mechanisms to functional recovery. Our goal is to generate applicable knowledge to optimize clinical practice and health outcomes.

Our Vision: To be an international benchmark in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, leading innovative solutions to prevent and treat disability, while consistently promoting autonomy and quality of life.

Our Values: We are a multidisciplinary team (rehabilitation, neurophysiology, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and biology) working alongside prestigious universities (UAB, URL, Andorra, and Deusto). We are defined by:

  • Rigor and Innovation: We develop high-quality research and are pioneers in digital rehabilitation through virtual reality and immersive environments, to facilitate home-based therapies and treatment accessibility.
  • Transfer: We bridge the gap between basic research and clinical practice, through translational studies and clinical trials that directly impact patient functional recovery.
  • Advanced Technology: We participate in national and international networks focused on robotics, advanced therapies, and artificial intelligence to implement cutting-edge solutions.
  • Human Commitment: We place the patient at the center, promoting personalized rehabilitation that restores autonomy and quality of life.
