New software is powerful tool for therapy
RehaStim has proved itself to be very effective for FES Cycling. Partnered with a MOTOmed motion trainer, we have many clients around the world routinely exercising at home. Whether following spinal cord injury or post-acute stroke, this technology has an evidence base supporting its use. It’s often not considered therapy any more – this is about enhancing quality of life.
However, RehaStim DOES have a powerful role to assist therapists who have more general muscle stimulation needs. When you don’t want to use FES as part of a fixed FES Cycling regime, there is a version of RehaStim for you.
RehaBike - Outdoor fun
RehaBike offers people affected by paralysis a higher quality of
life through physical exercise during an activity which is fun!
By means of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES), muscles in the thigh are activated in such a way that coordinated movement is possible and sufficient power is generated.
This enables paralysed people to actively use their lower limbs again. As shown by research, this exercise boosts the metabolism and the cardiovascular system with many positive effects.
Motor powered ergometers form a part of standard therapy in movement disorders, for example after stroke or accidents.
