TEN4CARE Project
Status: Grant agreement not yet signed
TEN4CARE is an upcoming European research initiative aimed at developing an innovative biomaterial-based medical device designed to support the treatment of tendon and ligament injuries.
The project will focus on advancing technologies that can offer more effective and personalized rehabilitation options, especially for individuals affected by neuromuscular conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
RiMS Role in TEN4CARE
RIMS will take part in the TEN4CARE project through activities focused on dissemination and community translation of results. Our involvement includes:
- Disseminating validated outcomes to the broader MS rehabilitation community
- Contributing to the development of clinical protocols aimed at MS patients with tendon-related issues
- Ensuring findings are shared across RIMS networks, SIG groups, and communication channels
Relevance to MS Rehabilitation
Tendon and ligament issues can significantly hinder mobility and independence in individuals living with MS. By supporting innovations in biomaterial-based interventions, TEN4CARE contributes to:
- Improved healing outcomes
- Reduced rehabilitation times
- Enhanced clinical guidance for therapists and rehabilitation centers
Current Status
This project is currently awaiting final signature of the grant agreement and is expected to launch soon. Once official, more details on objectives, milestones, and partners will be shared here and on our LinkedIn.
