Daily walking is a complex process involving several body systems. The spinal cord is responsible for the walking reflex, the brain stem - for maintaining balance, the cerebral cortex - for purposeful movement to an object, building a route, working with obstacles on the way. The fundamental difference of the C-mill system is focused work with brain functions damaged by a stroke. As a result, the patient learns to walk, choose the right route and avoid obstacles, and not just walk.

TARGETED NEURO REHABILITATION

A unique multifunctional biofeedback system for biomechanical diagnostics and correction of walking skills in patients after stroke, TBI, and cerebral palsy. The C-Mill treadmill and special software allow you to diagnose gait disturbances, develop an individual algorithm for restoring coordination of movements and conduct effective training. The detailed report contains data on stride length and width, stride symmetry, temporal and spatial characteristics of gait.

PROGRESSIVE REHABILITATION STRATEGY

Thanks to the unique diagnostic capabilities of the C-mill system, the doctor has the opportunity to determine the nature of the gait disorder. Regardless of the degree of damage, the C-mill system will automatically select the pattern of light marking for the patient, which best suits his walking style. By gradually changing this pattern and bringing it to the normative values, the doctor returns the patient to the natural manner of walking. This approach ensures smooth progress and a high level of patient motivation throughout the entire rehabilitation process.

LENGTH OF C-MILL

For a full-fledged functional diagnosis of gait, not imitation, but maximum coincidence with real life conditions is required. The length of the track should allow the patient to accelerate and move forward along the track, slow down and move back without fear of falling, and when working with the projection system, see light markers (targets or obstacles) in advance to understand the next step. Physiologically correct for a person is to look ahead at 3 steps or 2-2.5 m, or, which makes requirements for the length of the track at least 3 meters. The projection on the entire canvas allows you to use the capabilities of the track at 100%, that is, the working area is the entire canvas of the track, and not only the front part (~ 20%).

Projection 2-2.5 m forward is required to create conditions close to real life. On short treadmills, a long look at the feet leads to dizziness, and also makes it impossible to diagnose patients in severe conditions.

C-MILL ADVANTAGES

Versatility

The track can be used by both adults and children, thanks to the availability of special game rehabilitation programs. The position of the handrails is individually adjustable, depending on the patient's height. The maximum patient weight is 135 kg.

Simplicity

During the rehabilitation process, the system itself will select the optimal training parameters for the patient, depending on the degree and nature of the lesion.

Accuracy and objectivity

At the end of each workout, the system will provide a detailed report on the patient's gait status and progress made in the rehabilitation process

ALSO AVAILABLE THE FOLLOWING VERSIONS OF TOUCH TREADMILLS:

1) Walkway with additional safety frame. The presence of movable belay makes classes as safe as possible for the patient.
2) A track with two independent tapes. The setting and regulation of speed occurs independently for each leg, which is important for the rehabilitation of motor skills in patients after stroke, TBI, and cerebral palsy.

HYDROPHYSIO


When training in water, the weight of the body and all limbs immersed in water is significantly reduced, which affects a significant decrease in weight and allows you to perform a greater range of motion with less muscle strength, less stress on joints, bones and significantly improves the functioning of the vascular system.

The effects of hydrostatic pressure help improve circulation and provide effective treatment for muscles or joints.

Height-adjustable countercurrent of water can be used for additional load and coordination training.

Training in water

More effective vascular training.

Constant hydrostatic pressure.

Joint load can be adjusted using the water level in the chamber, and it takes much less time to achieve the required results
Lower body training contributes to body balance training. The counter flow provides additional stress and new training approaches.
In rehabilitation treatment, the countercurrent further stimulates muscle development.

NIRVANA


NIRVANA is an innovative therapeutic solution for the rehabilitation of patients with neuromuscular pathologies. The system contains special exercises aimed at overcoming cognitive and motor deficits. It is a collection of predefined exercises, as well as tools to create your own according to the special needs of patients.
The effectiveness of the NIRVANA system is based on a motivating approach: focus and play, as well as the possibility of feedback at the sensory level - all this stimulates the patient's activity.

INNOVATIVE SYSTEM WITH A MOTIVATING THERAPEUTIC APPROACH

NIRVANA is the world's first marker-free system that provides full sensory immersion (acoustic and visual) in virtual reality without external devices that can restrict patient movement or affect the way they interact with the system. NIRVANA reproduces scenarios that can be projected onto horizontal and vertical surfaces using an optoelectronic infrared system: the patient can interact with the virtual environment in a natural way, moving against the background of the projected images.

The system is effectively used in the rehabilitation of motor and cognitive impairments caused by:
Stroke
Traumatic brain injury
Parkinson's disease
Multiple sclerosis
Various forms of paralysis

In addition to several modes and increasing levels of difficulty, each task is determined by multiple sensory feedbacks: in comparison with the traditional therapeutic approach, the patient receives powerful cognitive and motor stimuli, which increases his motivation to perform more complex and complex exercises.

MOTIVATIVE, PERSONAL AND COGNITIVE SUPPORT

Rehabilitation exercises are often repetitive and rarely contain a stimulating element for the patient, so they quickly bore him, interest is lost, activity decreases, which, accordingly, leads to a decrease in the effectiveness of therapy.
The NIRVANA system, by projecting the playing field onto a physical surface, turns motor exercises into an exciting interactive adventure. The very environment with audio and video feedback with high quality graphics stimulates the patient to work and significantly increases his motivation.

FREE AND SAFE OPERATION IN THE INTERACTIVE SYSTEM

Using pressure sensors built into the platforms for the left and right legs, the system constantly analyzes the force developed by the patients themselves during training and, if necessary, increases or decreases the level of robotic intervention. This mode allows you to use the patient's own strengths from the earliest stages, which ultimately leads to more effective rehabilitation.

A specially designed panel is used to conduct the test, which provides a simple and understandable input of answers. The use of such a panel increases the motivation of clients and makes the test application suitable for those who, for some reason, are not suitable for a standard keyboard, mouse or touch screen.

Compared to other virtual interactive systems, NIRVANA has two important advantages:
1) real interactivity, which is based on natural movements, and not video images, which increases the functionality of the exercises, incl. and for patients with cognitive difficulties;
2) the absence of invasive video devices (for example, helmets or glasses) or devices for transmitting movements (gloves, makrers), which the patient often does not accept, i.e. the risk of not completing tasks is significantly reduced.

The exercises are designed in such a way that they can be performed with orthoses or with the support of a doctor.

VERIFICATION OF RESULTS

The scoring system provides a simple and intuitive assessment of the patient's progress. Moreover, if necessary, the doctor can change the difficulty level (increase or decrease) in real time directly during the exercise.

COBS


The COBS platform (double) is an innovative, multifunctional, double measuring system. It does not require a predefined positioning of the patient's body, therefore it has a very large area of application. It is also possible to measure and train multiple balance movements.

The load on each leg in Newtons is displayed on the computer screen. Exercises can be performed from various positions. In this way, various motor functions can be measured, such as walking on stairs, jumping or just sitting. As a result, the functional status quo and impairment in lower limb and whole body movements can be measured and recorded. The initial measurements for each patient are recorded as individual protocol and serve as the basis for subsequent training sessions.

Patients with imbalance do not distribute their weight evenly and this becomes visible on the computer screen. Coordination and instability in a joint, such as in trauma, is measured by moving body weight from left to right or from toes to heel. The patient has the ability to observe and control measurements on the monitor. Direct feedback (hint) is a means of motivating patients for a successful session and helps to raise the patient's self-esteem.

The software's versatile capabilities allow you to carry out individual exercises to maintain balance, coordination, reaction, strength and movement planning. All parameters used during training are recorded and can be retrieved for further comparison. This allows you to effectively and objectively assess the success of the exercise in both patients with impairments and athletes.

THE COBS BALL

Effective prevention of disturbances. Therapy and training of motor functions in rehabilitation and sports medicine. The COBS system with a ball is a multifunctional tool with great feedback capabilities. It can be used alone or in combination with the COBS platform.

A wide range of ball exercises allows you to record and analyze various joint functions such as bending or extending the knee or raising the arm up, for example, lifting a suitcase or pulling up, etc. Direct comparison of different measurements, such as left / right arm strength or data at the beginning of the exercise and subsequent results, gives a comprehensive and objective account of the current state and success of the exercise course. The training process is controlled by a program that provides constant graphic and audio prompts so that the exercises are performed correctly. This double feedback ensures maximum success from your practice. A wide range of exercises will motivate and attract patients for a long time. All data and training results can be printed out as a list, graph or table. With such data, the attending physician can draw conclusions about the success of therapy and this is a key point in the quality control of the exercises performed.
