Standing after a spinal cord injury is recommended for health. Standing frames, standing wheelchairs, exoskeletons and the Tek RMD - how do they compare?

Denervated muscle can be rescued with electrotherapy resulting in improved health and appearance. We cover the basics in this article.

The Tek RMD deliveries are now resuming after some delays due to the COVID pandemic. The new electric lift version greatly expands the number of people who can use the product. New accessories allow for enhanced useability

Electrical stimulation can be used to stimulate so-called denervated muscle as well as innervated. This necessitates quite different stimulation approaches. In this article we discuss how denervation can result from damage to peripheral nerves and how and why electrical stimulation is used to reverse muscle atrophy and improve tissue quality

Matia Robotics have announced three new options for the Tek RMD that we expect to be available in late 2020 or early 2021. We are most excited about the Motorised Electric Lifter which we feel will open up the product to many more potential users.

As we saw in a recent article, pressure ulcers remain a serious problem. A plethora of medical and “mechanical” risk factors combine, leading to more than 400,000 pressure ulcers in the UK each year.

We could say that it’s not what you “put on” an at risk foot that provides protection - it’s what you take off - specifically pressure and shear. The PRAFO designs are effective means of doing just that.
