Spectra LV Institute focuses on the areas that matter most for advancing the understanding and management of spasticity syndrome and related movement disorders. Our work spans the full spectrum of science, education, and innovation — always with a commitment to improving real‑world patient outcomes.
Advanced Orthotics:
Elevating the clinical importance of orthotics in supporting posture, movement, and functional independence.
AI Integration:
Exploring practical integration of artificial intelligence to support assessment, treatment planning, and clinical decision-making.
Art Therapy, Creative & Expressive Intervention:
Advancing patient-centered creative approaches that support emotional expression, coping, and recovery in daily life.
Biomarkers:
Developing objective, validated biomarkers that improve diagnosis, monitoring, and long-term treatment outcomes for patients.
BoNT Comparative Research Across Etiologies:
Comparing botulinum toxin treatment outcomes across diverse patient conditions to optimize and refine clinical protocols.
Ergonomics & Efficiency:
Improving clinical workflow design and treatment efficiency to deliver better, more responsive patient care.
Multimodal Treatment:
Investigating combined therapeutic modalities that work together to improve outcomes in complex movement disorders.
Muscle Architecture & Non-Neuronal Component:
Examining structural and non-neuronal muscle changes that influence movement, tone, and clinical treatment.
Muscle Mapping Precision Targeting:
Advancing precise anatomical muscle mapping to improve accuracy and effectiveness of spasticity treatment.
Ultrasound Beyond Targeting:
Enhancing the clinical impact of sonography beyond injection guidance in assessment and treatment planning.
exploring Our THinkubator
The core of the THINKUBATOR is the seamless interconnection of
‘Think Tank’ x ‘Incubator’ x ‘Accelerator’
This is empowered by like-minded researchers and clinicians within the two main research labs, augmented with collaborators from around the world
Working together on a range of projects from practical everyday questions to complex investigational challenges
Via the Thinkubator, the Spectra LV Institute transforms shared experiences into tangible, real-world outputs that focus on research, and also drive high-yield education and thought leadership embedded in the needs of people with spasticity
The 9 core collaborative research domains cover a broad range of high-clinical-impact topics that can all move the field of spasticity forward
