The 18-months meeting of StimulAIS project had been arranged by Synimed. This meeting took place in IBV facilities, Valencia, Spain, on Wednesday May 21st, 2014.
All consortium partners were represented in the meeting and had the opportunity to share the state of the results achieved so far, as well as discuss about the work progress, next tasks and expected results (functionality, definitive prototypes assembly, animal experimentation and validation of StimulAIS system), giving rise to the most critical issues for a successful consecution of the next milestones in the last stage of the project.

Instituto de Biomecánica (Biomechanics Institute - IBV) hosted the kick-off meeting of the European project StimulAIS on 28th November 2012.
The main objective of the StimulAIS project is to develop a novel device for the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis by muscular electro-stimulation of the appropriate muscles. This device will be capable not only of stopping progression of the curvature, but also of correcting it. It will represent a strong differentiation in AIS treatment, as it will avoid the side effects of the current conservative solutions and will reduce the need of invasive fusion surgery.
Nowadays, current treatment options have important limitations. Conventional treatment like bracing is uncomfortable and stressful and there is no clear evidence of its effectiveness in stopping progression of spine curvature; surgery halts progression, but fuses the spine, eliminating its mobility.
The first technical steps of the project were established, and also financial information of the project was introduced to the partners. Consortium members highlighted the importance of comunication between the partners to obtain good results during the project.
The StimulAIS project effectively started on 1st November 2012.
