I'm asking for financial support to facilitate research based water therapy for multiple sclerosis patients
Research and therapy application with Reha-Aquabike
Who
Joeri Gredig, Aquabike-pioneer from Chur, Switzerland (Artikel Bündner Tagblatt)
What
In order to realize a scientific clinical observation study together with the researchers from RESLab SUSPI Landquart and from clincic Valens, the Reha-Aquabike needs technical adaptions
Why
After the study, water therapy for MS-patients shall be possible and patients are already waiting
Problem
The to date collected funds do not cover the costs. Another funding of CHF 48'000.-- is necessary
For what is the money used
The Aquabike gets a new back entry area and a dedicated for MS-patients designed seat. Funding is also used for ethic commission and laboratory costs at clinic Valens and SUPSI.
What happens after the project of clinical trial ends
Subsequent to publishing the study results, therapy phase starts. Therefor, the association «grenzen überschreiten» supports 18 month of water therapy for MS-patients
