Art for rehabilitation

Project title

Art for rehabilitation

Description of initiative

The Louis Pasteur University Hospital (UNLP) in Košice is the first in Slovakia to use art to rehabilitate patients. Physiotherapists of the Department of Physiology, Balneology and Medical Rehabilitation (OFBLR) UNLP Košice use tailor-made devices for the rehabilitation of patients. These were invented and produced for them by the artist and new media artist Boris Vaitovič. Parteners in the project, Creative Industry Košice (CIKE), not only contributed to the implementation of the project, but also donated to the hospital complete equipment for the implementation of a modern form of rehabilitation in practice.
