Neurology
Improving mobility
All around the world neurological clinics complement their rehabilitation with MOTOmed Movement Therapy. In neurology, the MOTOmed is mainly used for regulating the tone, mobilizing as well as sustaining and regaining muscles.
The cyclic, smooth MOTOmed Movement Therapy improves mobility of the legs and the upper body and can help to counteract muscle loss, contractures, higher tones and spasms as well as decubitus, thrombosis and edema.
The MOTOmed safety functions monitor and regulate the tone. Depending on the amount of independence, patients completed their therapy sessions with the MOTOmed on their own. This helps to unburden therapy and care personnel.
MOTOmed Movement Therapy
MOTOmed Movement Therapy was developed for people with movement restrictions and complements physical, ergo and sports therapy measures. Users can train while seated in a wheelchair or from a chair. Patients in supine position use MOTOmed from a nursing bed or therapy couch.
In Germany, the device-based movement therapy with the MOTOmed is recognized as an aid for many indications by the statutory health insurance. It is worthwhile to inform yourself!
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.
assistive
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
- Reduce spasticity
- Activate residual muscle strength
- Strengthen the psyche and well-being
- Counteract fatigue
