Use Cases
Acquired Brain Injury
Improves the patient’s autonomy by helping them regain control
on the processes affected by brain injury.
In which profiles can we apply NeuronUP?
Some activities for people
with acquired brain injury
Repeated
Words
The patients works on selective attention and working memory by searching and selecting all the words that appear repeatedly on the worksheet.
- Organized into five levels of difficulty.
- Available in digital or paper format.
Correct
Behaviors
In this activity the patient must analyze the correct way to behave in a situation represented in an image, working on social cognition from multiple perspectives (self-esteem, assertiveness, civility, constructive criticism, rights, empathy, hygiene, persuasion, social relations, routines…).
- The worksheet is organized into five levels of difficulty.
- Available in digital or paper format.
- The paper format includes the option to discuss with the patient the options to be chosen.
Get Dressed
Activity designed to promote the development of decision making, body schema and planning. The patient must adequately dress a human figure with the clothes provided. It is highly customizable and can be adapted:
- Level: the higher the difficulty, the fewer indications there are and the clothing choices are more complex.
- Number of exercises.
- Maximum time chosen and whether or not the timer is shown.
- Number of garments displayed and option to move them by dragging or clicking.
- Scenarios and distractors.
- Number of aids and errors allowed.
Monitor the progress of the intervention
Automatic data updates
NeuronUP generates graphs that are updated after each exercise, allowing you to know the evolution of the user both in a specific exercise and at a global level of the intervention.
On what basis
do we design our exercises?
We identify the constructs, operations and functions (Burgess et al., 2006) involved in human activity, in order to create exercises capable of calibrating them during the rehabilitation process.

The aim is to create motivational and customizable ecological contents that support the processes of neuropsychological stimulation and rehabilitation (Wilson, 1987; 1989).
