An interactive gait analysis lab has opened in Lutsk
The Medical Center for the Rehabilitation of Combat Veterans in Lutsk hosted the closing conference of the Ukrainian-Polish project “TransCare: Cross-Border Cooperation in Healthcare and Palliative Care.” As part of the project, an interactive gait analysis laboratory was opened at the medical facility.
The project is being implemented under the Interreg NEXT Poland–Ukraine 2021–2027 Program with financial support from the European Union. The Polish partner in the project is the Independent Healthcare Facility in Siedlce (Republic of Poland).
The goal of TransCare is to improve access to long-term care for Ukrainian and Polish patients, ensure the highest level of support and care, and strengthen cooperation and the exchange of medical knowledge in the cross-border region.
Total project funding exceeds 1 million euros:
• 735,600 euros – a grant from the European Union;
• 265,600 euros – co-financing from the Lutsk City Council.
One of the project’s key outcomes was the installation of an interactive real-time gait analysis laboratory at the Medical Rehabilitation Center for Combat Veterans.
This innovative equipment allows for the analysis of a patient’s gait, balance, and movements, helping specialists more accurately assess their condition and develop a personalized rehabilitation program.
It is particularly important that the Center’s work is primarily focused on military personnel and veterans undergoing rehabilitation.
The event featured the official opening of the laboratory and a presentation of its capabilities. Medical staff from the facility, representatives of state and local government agencies, social services, and healthcare institutions attended the conference.
Olena Begal, Head of the Department of European Integration and International Cooperation at the Volyn Regional State Administration, and Yuriy Legkodukh, Head of the Department of Health at the Volyn Regional State Administration, addressed the participants with welcoming remarks.
“This project is about people, about the value of human life and health—first and foremost, that of our defenders, to whom we owe the opportunity to greet a new day every morning. The innovative equipment purchased as part of this project enhances opportunities for recovery. The partnership formed through this project between medical institutions in the city of Lutsk and the Polish city of Siedlce is also valuable. “I believe this partnership will continue to grow, particularly through new project initiatives,” noted Olena Begal.
TransCare is an example of how international partnerships, modern technologies, and the exchange of professional expertise create new opportunities for people’s recovery.
“We are collaborating to ensure high-quality medical care, advance rehabilitation, and support those who defend Ukraine,” the statement reads.
