A multidisciplinary program that combines physical and rehabilitation medicine doctors, functional specialists, state-of-the-art robotic and physical medicine technologies to provide to provide rehabilitation of peripheral nervous and neurodegenerative diseases caused by the inability to respond adequately to environmental irritation due to nerve damage.
These diseases can cause movement, sensory and balance disorders.
During rehabilitation, the following measures are being taken: assessment and documentation of the patient’s clinical condition and functional disorders, complication prevention, individual rehabilitation plan development, improvement of motor functions, improvement of the balance response, education of the patient and his/her relatives, social integration, adaptation of assistive devices, providing recommendations and inclusion in the dynamic monitoring register.
REHABILITATION CLINIC OF RIGA 1st HOSPITAL OFFERS:

ROBOTIC TRAINERS USED DURING THERAPY:
ReoAmbulator allows therapists to develop patient-specific exercises aimed at improving the patient’s balance, coordination, endurance and posture by intensively repeating the normal movements of the entire leg – hip, knee and ankle to reproduce a reciprocal, synchronized natural gait pattern.
TYMO system for of the upper and lower extremities as well as torso functional assessment and rehabilitation. With this trainer it is possible to perform therapy in static and dynamic modes. The system has personalized settings for each patient. It is multifunctional and, due to exciting therapy games, it significantly improves the patient’s motivation and level of involvement.
The E-LINK system is used for computerized rehabilitation and clinical evaluation of the upper and lower extremities. It is used in neurological rehabilitation, patient assessment, result documentation. The E-LINK system consists of several modules, such as a dynamometer, electromyography sensors with feedback exercises, resistance exercises, hand and force platforms. The E-LINK system uses wireless connections. The software provides strength and mobility exercises by controlling a number of fully configurable games according to each patient’s ability and needs.
