V-VAS Knee Orthosis Ready for the Next Level
Munro and Jones of Anatomical Concepts along with orthopaedic surgeon Martin Buchan of Inverclyde Hospital, won a "Best Paper" prize at the BAPO Congress in 2008 for their paper on "Management of Severe OA Knee Problems - A customised knee orthosis" Since then developments have progressed and a significant advance will take place shortly with the arrival of local manufacture of the V-VAS.
Stroke Survivors Given Boost by Tailwind
Revolutionary Arm Exerciser Launched in the UK!
Dr Derek Jones, Director of Anatomical Concepts said: “This is the first time that such an effective arm exerciser has been available for stroke survivors to use at home. It marks an important step forward in the UK’s ability to offer stroke patients with arm movement difficulties, the chance to take stroke rehabilitation into their own hands.”
Cognitive Rehab Gets Support
Cognitive rehabilitation after a serious brain injury or stroke can help the mind in much the same way that physical therapy helps the body, according to a new meta-analysis. Because the data suggest that treatment may work best when tailored to age, injury, symptoms, and time since injury, the findings may help establish evidence-based treatment guidelines.
FES Cycling Aids Individuals following a Stroke
A new study published in the European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine focused
on whether FES Cycling could be beneficial in the rehabilitation of
post-acute stroke patients. Seventy percent of the FES Cycling
patients learned how to perform the sit to stand movement with three
different rising speeds whilst no patients in the control group could
achieve this.
Diabetes and Heel Ulcers
It is estimated that around fifteen percent of all people that develop diabetes will require treatment for diabetic foot problems. One of those problems is the heel ulcer, the leading cause of non-traumatic lower limb amputations.
Health Economics and Diabetic Foot Lesions
For many years clinicians have recognised that prevention of diabetic foot lesions is vital - simply because at the individual and societal level, these complications are extremely costly. It is surprising therefore that there are relatively few reports however on the health-economic consequences of diabetic foot complications. It is one thing for clinicians who use the PRAFO for example, to believe that this device can prevent heel ulcers, but it is important to have evidence of such efficacy and that such action is cost-effective.
Stroke units miss targets
The Herald reported that Scottish hospitals are letting down stroke patients by failing to move patients for specialised care fast enough. At one hospital, patients are reported to be waiting for more than one week before being moved to a stroke unit - the target is to be moved within one day.
