PROJECT: "Implementation in the Motek Caren system with virtual reality of the existing motor rehabilitation program for people with Down syndrome in order to increase its effectiveness".
- CO-FINANCED FROM THE STATE BUDGET
- AS PART OF THE PROGRAM "STUDENT SCIENTIFIC CIRCLES CREATE INNOVATIONS"
- GRANT VALUE: 45 000.00 PLN

The main objective of the project is to continue the study of motor rehabilitation of patients with Down syndrome. In the first stage, the project authors conducted a thorough review of the literature available in online medical databases, resulting in the publication of a systematic review. The data collected suggest that treadmill training has many benefits for people with Down syndrome. These include improvements in motor, balance or gait parameters, but also improvements in mental fitness and executive function. In addition, only a few studies have been found on the use of virtual reality (VR) in motor rehabilitation in this patient population.

The organizational unit carrying out the task is the Student Scientific Circle at the Department of Psychiatry.
The aim of the project is to demonstrate in people with schizophrenia a higher concentration of cfDNA specific for neurons of the cerebral cortex compared to people without mental disorders. This will indicate the presence of neurodegenerative processes within brain structures that may be associated with the presence of the disease process. An integral part of the project is the creation of a questionnaire on the patient's medical history and an assessment of the mental state on the day the material for cf-DNA determination was collected. The study will be performed on a group of 50 schizophrenic patients and 50 healthy volunteers.
