Dont Back Down: A new book
Company director Derek Jones has a few years (actually decades) of experience working face to face with people following a spinal cord injury. His new book is aimed at newly injured persons and titled “Dont Back Down: Your guide to living well with a spinal cord injury”. It’s now available on Amazon as a paperback and Kindle book.
The content is a broad ranging and empowering guide to getting life back on track after a spinal cord injury.
Claire Lomas - Why I’m Committed to FES Cycling
FES Cycling with the RehaMove system is a foundation in Claire’s routine. In this short video she describes how she discovered FES Cycling, why she felt it was important to continue to exercise the parts that were paralysed as well as the parts that weren’t, and the benefits she has seen from doing so.
Standing safely in the Tek RMD
When you have lower limb limb paralysis or weakness it is understandable to feel nervous when a product aims to stand you up. Understanding how the Tek RMD supports the user in standing or whilst moving up and down despite paralysis can act as reassurance and eliminate anxiety.
Electrotherapy and wound healing - Part 2
In the first article in this series, we introduced the idea of using electrotherapy for wound healing. It’s perhaps not the first approach clinicians think of but we feel it is a legitimate approach and worth considering; especially when other approaches are not proving to be effective. In this article we look at what is known and unknown about this approach. We then look at spinal cord injury and treatment of pressure ulcers in this population. We give an example fo using a Hasomed RehaMove unit with Sequence Mode and a RISE unit to support this application.
Tek RMD Accessories - The Outdoor Kit
The Tek RMD from Matia Mobility was designed as an indoor product that allowed users with weak or paralysed legs to stand and move. This in itself has been a great boon for clients who wished to have greater independence for their day to day activities. Some clients discovered that the Tek RMD would work just fine on the outside deck or paving but the arrival of the Outdoor Kit accessory greatly extends this ability.
The video below shows that Tek RMD fitted with outdoor wheels being tried out on grass
RehaMove - Changing the Stimulation Settings
We have always wanted our FES Cycling clients to be comfortable to make changes to their stimulation settings over time. Knowing when and how to changing settings is not difficult - when you know how. The video below was recorded to address that topic. The
video has English subtitles and a transcripy of the audio is given below.
