theraputic exerciser MOTOmed Viva: Goals
The Goals of MOTOmed Therapy
|
Reducing spasticity, becoming more flexible
Loosening the muscles in the case of sudden spasms as well as general stiffness.
Counteracting the consequences of a lack of movement
such as circulatory problems (cold legs), stiff joints, shortened tendons,
digestive problems, bladder problems, brittle bones (osteoporosis), build up of
fluid in legs and ankles (oedema) ...
Rediscovering residual muscle strength
Residual strength which is either not apparent or insufficient for a complete
movement can be rediscovered and applied.
Promoting walking ability
To build up and maintain the basic fitness required for walking (i.e. endurance
and muscle strength). To reduce restraining muscle stiffness. To improve
confidence in walking.
Strengthening the sense of mental well-being
Regular excercise. Doing something for yourself. This has a positive influence
on the sense of mental well-being.

Lack of movement - counteracting the consequences
|
|
Daily excercise is an important element for the smooth running of many bodily
functions, and for a general sense of well-being. However, paralysis or weakness
can cause daily exercise to shrink to a minimum or to disappear altogether.
Circulatory problems, stiffness of the joints, shortened tendons, digestive problems,
fluid build-up in the legs (oedema) and brittle bones (osteoporisis) are the
consequences. These often have to be treated with expensive therapies such as
medication and surgery.
Those problems can be counteracted through sufficient training with suitable
therapeutic equipment. The MOTOmed offers the possibility for daily movement, regardless
of the preconditions and abilities of the user. Paralysed or weak arms and legs can be
moved forwards or backwards, quickly or slowly, passively with motor assistance or
purely with your own strenth.
Lack of movement
can cause a range of problems such as
- circulatory problems
- stiff joints
- shortened tendons
- digestive problems
- brittle bones
Movement
is important for maintaining
- bodily functions
(e.g. circulation and digestion)
- flexibility
(e.g. joints, muscles, tendons)
- well being
The MOTOmed provids the opportunity of bending and stretching the arms or legs
several hundreds of times in 10 min. for example.
