Musculoskeletal disorders include muscles, nerves, tendon(tendon), ligament , It is a disease caused by damage to the musculoskeletal system, including bones and surrounding tissues, and the main cause is repeated stimulation or incorrect posture. In this case, surgical treatment is important, but rehabilitation treatment that can restore motor function before muscle loss and joint contracture progresses is important.

However, proper rehabilitation treatment is not currently provided in the domestic medical system. As the elderly population rapidly increases, the demand for rehabilitation treatment is increasing, but due to economic and physical constraints, there are no hospitals that can meet this demand span>. As a result, patients have to do rehabilitation exercises on their own using books or video materials, and of course, the treatment effect is bound to be minimal.

EverX is carrying out a rehabilitation movement to solve this problem of unmet need for rehabilitation. Developed the treatment platformMORA. Overcame the limitations of face-to-face treatment through non-face-to-face treatment methods, and improved treatment effectiveness through real-time communication between medical staff and patients. >It is the core of MORA.
