On Friday 15th October, Chris Morden and Alex Jones from Ectron attended the launch event of The Rehab Physio’s brand-new clinic in Bromborough, Wirral. The new centre offers robotics and virtual reality for its intensive treatment programmes following neurological and catastrophic injury.


The new facility was officially opened by Paralympic Medallist Billy Bridge. This was followed by International Speaker, Research Scientist and President of the International Industry Society for Advanced Rehabilitation Technology (IISART), Iris Jakob PhD presenting the latest research findings on intensive neurological rehabilitation with robotics. 


People with neuro/complex injuries, solicitors, case managers, GP’s, Consultants and NHS commissioners were all invited to attend the open day, to help them develop a better understanding of the concept, and the importance of intensive treatment to ensure successful rehabilitation.


The Rehab Physio’s investment in ground-breaking rehabilitation technology with the complete upper and lower limb solutions by Tyromotion will enable the centre to offer truly intensive programmes of treatment. Historically, this has not always been possible due to a shortage of therapists and also the practical difficulties of physically achieving thousands of repetitions without the support of robots.


Christopher Wynne, The Rehab Physio says:


“Our aim is to become a regional and national centre for intensive outpatient rehabilitation after neurological and catastrophic injury. We know from research findings that intensity is key to a successful outcome, i.e., thousands of repetitions per hour, over hundreds of hours for improvements in movement. Traditional physiotherapy (once or twice weekly) just isn’t as effective for this type of injury. Our new facility will offer high quality rehabilitation to anyone with neurological and complex needs in an appropriate form, regardless of budget.”

 

Following discharge from hospital, financial constraints can often prevent patients from accessing specialist rehabilitation services. This led to The Rehab Physio creating a ‘tiered’ approach which they call ‘The Complete Solution’ this comprises of the technology centre, focused physio and a rehab gym which aims to plug a gap in current physiotherapy treatment.

 

Chris Morden, Ectron says:

 

“I’m am delighted for Christopher and Jennifer Wynne to achieve their goal of opening this fantastic centre in the Wirral and developing their new tiered approach. The Tyrosolution will ensure The Rehab Physio patients will receive a truly intensive rehabilitation programme.


The Rehab Physio is the 8th Rehabilitation Centre in the UK to invest in a upper or lower ‘Tyrosolution’. The Rehab Physio is one of three centres to invest in the complete upper and lower limb solution including the LEXO Robotic Gait Trainer. This makes the ‘Tyrosolution’ and Ectron the number one choice for the UK’s leading neurological rehabilitation centres"

In January this year, Neurotherapy Worx in Wigan took delivery of the D-Wall by TecnoBody. Neurotherapy Worx is a specialist team of Adult and Paediatric Therapists based in a fully accessible clinic in Appley Bridge. Neurotherapy Worx offers both clinic and home-based rehabilitation. Over the last two months Neurotherapy Worx have been integrating the D-Wall into their everyday clinic. This short article shares their experiences so far. Has it been easy to integrate D-Wall within your everyday clinic practice? The D-Wall has been easy to integrate into clinic. It has been used during initial assessments, integrated into treatment plans and formal reviews. It enables us to undertake specific assessments and see change over time in patients’ abilities. How easy is the D-Wall to use with regards to patient set up? The D-Wall is very quick to set up once you have created a profile with a client’s date of birth, weight and height recorded. However, it is also possible to try different activities with an adult client without creating a profile. If you spend time in the Monitor facility so that the client understands how their foot position, their upper body and centre of gravity impacts the D-wall, this makes using the other settings, exercises, games more effective during the assessment and treatment process. How are you using D-Wall in clinic? We are using the D-Wall in many different ways! Therapy ·It is really useful for people with one sided weakness. They can visually see their alignment and work actively to try and correct this (previously we would verbally give feedback and facilitate). Good for strengthening and gaming afterwards. D-Wall is good at finding things we would not necessarily pick up on or see. It’s like an extra pair of eyes. We are working with patients and adapting things all the time. Constantly adapting and adjusting the movements. Can be used for a specific part of the session or for the whole treatment session. Trunk control. Balance – within and out of base of support. Look at specific motor control of a specific limb; or address gross motor control. Good to work on balance and trunk control whilst carrying out a more functional / meaningful activity. Engaging children and adults in repetitive movements or using the less dominant limb. Bilateral arm movements. Improve cardiovascular system in a safe supported environment. Muscle strengthening. Use neglected limb. With treadmill. With parallel bars. Using therapy ball for seated activities/games. Assessment and Reporting Standardised, repeatable fitness and health tests The data from D-Wall makes our reports a lot more accurate.
