TEN4CARE Project
This project has received funding from the European Union´s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101178590
TEN4CARE is an EU‑funded research project (€7.9M) 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
- Engaging clinicians and people affected by MS and tendon disorders in shaping project's essential features and critical factors, ensuring that the final results meet their needs and expectations.
- 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
