REHABILITATION AFTER INJURIES (BONE FRACTURE, MUSCLE AND TENDON SPRAINS AND TEARS)
A multidisciplinary program that combines physical and rehabilitation medicine doctors, functional specialists, state-of-the-art robotic and physical medicine technologies to provide rehabilitation after injuries such as bone fractures, muscle and tendon sprains and tears.
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, pain relief, improvement of motor functions, education of the patient and his/her relatives, social integration, adaptation of assistive devices, providing recommendations and inclusion in the dynamic monitoring register.
Target group:
Patients with functional disabilities, medically stable, motivated, with family support, aged up to 18 years.
The rehabilitation program objectives:
According to an individually developed medical rehabilitation plan.
ROBOTIC TECHNOLOGIES USED DURING THERAPY
Magnetic therapy procedures are convenient and absolutely painless, as there is no direct contact with the skin, while field exposure can qualitatively reduce the manifestations of pain, and it is considered a good alternative to electrical stimulation in cases where its use is contraindicated or undesirable. The TESLA STYM magnetic therapy device can be used for local and general strengthening effects.
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.
