Company
Step of Mind Ltd is a privately owned Israeli
company. It aims to develop a line of products for
improving motor behaviors based on implementation
of Chaos Theory. The initial line of products targets
walking function by introducing a variable environment
through non-invasive wearable systems.
Activities of SoM are both in the field of scientific
research, conceptual and technical development,
and marketing. Our commitment is to provide the
most effective care to people and their quality
of life.
To date a number of products are in the pipeline
(protected IP), covering multiple aspects of the
technology and application.
The company’s team possesses a high level of experience
in the field of rehabilitation and exercise physiology
and a wide base of scientific research and achievements
in this field.
The theoretical basis that underlies the concept
of our products has been developing since 1996.
The theory of chaotic perturbation for the improvement
of motor learning was introduced as part of the
PhD study of Dr. Bar-Haim. The clinical studies
were performed on children with Cerebral Palsy.
Further, the approach was successfully tested during
a multicenter international randomised controlled
study. This study was performed in the frame of
Middle East Regional Cooperation (MERC USAID) in
three research centers in Israel, Jordan, and Palestinian
Authority.
At the current stage Step of Mind Ltd develops a
variety of applications that will enable the most
effective motor learning for training, rehabilitation,
and preventive programs.
