COVID-19 Measures

COVID-19 Update: 
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have ceased to admit inpatients in order to minimize exposure risks, we will however continue to provide outpatient services without interruption. ​​

Innovative rehabilitation strategies offer promising results 

While rehabilitation robots have been around since the 80’s they still haven’t found widespread use in our hospitals, unlike the service robots that are quite common in our homes and factories. Rehabilitation with robots is nonetheless an established method recommended in many national guidelines. Robot-mediated therapy is showing promising results, quickly gaining traction and sparking interest among clinicians and researchers.
​
This innovative rehabilitation practice makes it easier to create intensively repetitive, individually adaptive, and easily measurable physical training sessions. Essentially using key elements of motor skill training, the robots can be programmed to repeat actions with a specific target so that the patient can relearn a range of movements.​

Robotic devices can replicate regimens designed by therapists and administer them as many times and for as long as they are needed. They can provide interactive training that is adjusted over time. From high-intensity sessions to task-specific and goal-oriented training, rehabilitation robots offer versatile and adaptive regimens.
​ 
Intensive motor training with robotic devices for patients recovering from stroke will become increasingly available in rehabilitation centers. As more patients have access to treatment that improves their quality of life at a lower aggregate cost, savings in healthcare will free up resources for other critical areas. In the meantime, more research and clinical studies are needed to further corroborate the positive results of robotic devices used in rehabilitation. 

The Neuropod Rx Approach

The Neuropod Rx concentrates on the clinical application of technological innovation in the field of neurorehabilitation.  Considering the ratio of development effort to clinical advantage, our researchers have developed a platform that is easy to implement and has significant impact potential. ​Perfecting the therapeutic software’s usability and functionality holds great potential. It will lead to better systems for monitoring and standardizing successful protocols. This would in turn integrate and streamline expert knowledge that would likewise become available to a larger patient pool. Improving the existing software systems will also increase the patient’s motivation to train, boosting the odds of recovery. 

"As physical therapists, we focus on treating our patients by observing what’s not working. So, to have a modular tool that allows us to look for solutions that incorporate feedback data is quite valuable."

Boosting clinical outcomes with a research-backed approach

NEUROREHABILITATION

 Neurological rehabilitation programs dealing with diseases, injury, or disorders of the nervous system can be performed on an inpatient or outpatient basis, and at times a combination of both. Novel applications of advanced technologies for neurorehabilitation have a beneficial effect on reliable measurements plasticity.

NEUROPOD RX PLATFORM

Neuropod Rx gathers objective outcome measures so therapists can quantify the subtle progress patients make. Tracking clinical measures such as range of motion, weight-bearing status and squat depth helps clinicians identify the right level of challenge and supports effective care planning.
