Spasticity and FES Cycling
Individuals who have troublesome spasticity in their legs can generally use a RehaMove FES Cycling system but there are certain things that can be done to make this more effective.
Let’s start with the fundamentals
The PRAFO and preventing pressure sores
The PRAFO designs of ankle foot orthoses are an effective way of (ideally) preventing or healing pressure sores at the heel. So why are these designs successful in achieving this in both immobile and ambulant patients? The answer to the PRAFO’s effectiveness is very simple - even if understanding how pressure ulcers can develop is complex. In this article we touch on the biomechanics of pressure ulcers.
FES Cycling and improving health after spinal cord injury
Physically disabled people are the least active group in society. According to Sports England, disabled people are twice as likely to be inactive as able-bodied people. A RehaMove FES Cycling system provides a method that many spinal cord injured people use at home for long term fitness. Recent developments have made this exercise choice more engaging than ever
Staving off Alzheimers in advancing age
One of the least “spectacular” products we deal with is the Bike Labyrinth system. It is however, one of the products that can have the biggest impact in practice. When cognitive decline due to Alzheimers or dementia is stealing quality of life, this approach provides a practical intervention that makes a real difference. What does science tell us about maintaining long term brain health? We take a look at this
FES Cycling can build muscle mass after paralysis
We have known for decades that functional, electrically stimulated (FES) cycle training such as with the RehaMove FES bike can improve the cardiorespiratory fitness of spinal cord injured persons and others with neurological conditions such as MS, Parkinsons or recovering from a stroke. This is a massive benefit for long term health and fitness but what clients tend to notice is that their muscles get bigger - and that’s not a bad thing either.
Planning an FES Cycling session with the RehaMove system
We recently put together a Pilot “FES Cycling Tune Up Course” which is free for our clients who get an access code from us. The aim is to give more in-depth information on the background science as well as how to programme the RehaMove FES Cycling system for optimal usage.
