REHABILITATION OF DEGENERATIVE SPINAL CORD DISEASES (SPASTIC SPINAL PARALYSIS, SYRINGOMYELIA)
A multidisciplinary program that combines physical and rehabilitation medicine doctors, functional specialists, state-of-the-art robotic and physical medicine technologies to provide rehabilitation in case of degenerative spinal cord diseases.
Syringomyelia is a disease in which cysts form within the spinal cord, affecting the spinal cord and causing pain, sensory disorders and spinal deformities (scoliosis).
Damage to the spinal cord can cause motor and sensory disorders, as well as spasticity.
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 according to the level and degree of the damage, spasticity management, education of the patient and his/her relatives, social integration, adaptation of assistive devices, providing recommendations for environmental adaptation and inclusion in the dynamic monitoring register.
Target group:
Patients with functional disorders at the age of 18 and over who are medically stable and for whom the potential and motivation for medical rehabilitation are assessed as sufficient.
The rehabilitation program objectives:
According to an individually developed medical rehabilitation plan.
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.
Luna EMG is a rehabilitation robot designed to make physical therapy more fun for neurological and orthopaedic patients, while increasing their muscle strength, coordination and range of motion. … The robot can help patients maintain their mobility for longer and slow down the process of muscular dystrophy.
THERA-Trainer balo is suitable for patients with congenital or acquired limitations or loss of ability to stand. THERA-Trainer balo allows the patient to rise safely from the wheelchair, with or without the help of others, depending on the situation. The THERA-Trainer balo device is suitable for patients with impaired balance and coordination when standing.
