Hemodialysis
Improved dialysis effectivity
With the motorized movement therapy device MOTOmed letto2 dialysis patients benefit from the available time during dialysis. Movement during dialysis can increase “dialysis effectivity”, decrease the amount of toxicants in the blood and improve the blood test results of dialysis patients.
The dialysis patient can train with own muscle power or improve his general condition (strength and endurance) with motor support. Due to the help of the motor and the intelligent active/passive detection of the MOTOmed letto2 even weaker patients or patients with below knee amputations benefit from MOTOmed movement therapy. This movement, which resembles cycling, can help to stabilize the heart, circulation, immune system and blood pressure situation. Complications such as fainting, shocks and unconsciousness occur less frequently during dialysis.

MOTOmed movement therapy
Therapy modes
passive
The effortless motor driven movement is ideal for the regulation of muscle tone, loosening stiff muscles and for early mobilization after long rests. Passive training stimulates blood circulation, digestion and joint flexibility.
motor-supported
In motor-supported movement therapy, the function MOTOmed ServoCycling enables easy transition from passive to active training. A motor-supported movement stimulates strength and endurance even with minimal muscle strength.
active
An active training with own muscle power against finely adjustable resistance levels strengthens leg, arm and upper body muscles and stimulates the cardio-vascular system.
Achieving best therapy goals through interval training
Alternating phases of strain and recreation (intervals) through active and passive training give a higher training stimulus which leads to a better therapy success.
Therapeutic goals
- Promote walking
- Reduce the consequences of lack of movement
- Activate residual muscle strength
- Strengthen the psyche and well-being
- Counteract fatigue
