What is Neurorehabilitation

Posted by Herculife 19/10/2018 0 Comment(s)

Neurorehabilitation is a complex medical process which aims to aid recovery from a nervous system injury, and to minimize and/or compensate for any functional alterations resulting from it.

 

In case of a serious disability, such as caused by a severe spinal injury or brain damage, the patient and their families' abilities, life style, and projects, are suddenly shattered. In order to cope with this situation, the person and their family must establish and negotiate a "new way of living", both with their changed body and as a changed individual within their wider community.

 

Thus, neurorehabilitation works with the skills and attitudes of the disabled person and their family and friends. It promotes their skills to work at the highest level of independence possible for them. It also encourages them to rebuild self-esteem and a positive mood. Thus, they can adapt to the new situation and become empowered for successful and committed community reintegration.

 

While the field of neurorehabilitation is relatively new, many therapies are controversial, and while some are considered cutting edge technology, Over the last decade with the aid of science and technology, we are more familiar with the human brain and its function than ever before. Development in neuroimaging techniques has greatly enhanced the scope and outcome of neurorehabilitation. Now, scientists are using technology with neurorehabilitation to provide cutting edge improvements to therapies for patients with nervous system issues. In particular, the use of Robotics in Neurorehabilitation is becoming more and more common.

 

One of the new technologies and very active one in Robotic field is the LUNA EMG.

 

                                                           

Luna EMG uses reactive electromyography to train the sensorimotor cortex. The patient’s movement is active - based on bioelectrical signals (EMG) acquired from the patient’s muscles. It is especially effective with clinical weakness patients, allowing more motor unit recruitment during muscle activation.

Luna automates the therapy at your clinic. Bundle up to 4 units and allow a single therapist to work with 4 patients at the same time!

Luna also expands your market allowing the treatment and diagnosis of severe neurological patients.

With Luna, you can now start an active-assistive training for every innerved patient, even when the contraction is only visible on the EMG and not palpable. Thanks to the movement being controlled by the electromyogram, the action-reaction pattern of the sensorimotor cortex is strengthened considerably.

 

 

My head almost exploded with happiness! After so many years, my body had suddenly begun to me

He wasn't able to do that in 6 months.
