The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital chose Tyromotion's DIEGO, AMADEO and MYRO

Lucille Watts • May 6, 2022

The investment of rehabilitation equipment has been made at Shropshire’s specialist orthopaedic hospital – thanks to funding from NHS Commissioners for Spinal Injuries. 

Ectron is delighted to have worked with The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital (RJAH) and installing Tyromotion's DIEGO, AMADEO and MYRO. The state-of-the-art upper limb rehabilitation equipment will be used to support spinal cord injury patients with their rehabilitation.



The RJAH has recently upgraded the Hand and Upper Limb Unit at the Oswestry-based hospital. RJAH have embraced the use of modern technologies such as robotics, virtual reality, and gamification to provide improved patient outcomes.


Alison Mannion, Clinical Specialist Occupational Therapist, said “We are all very excited to have the new equipment to use with our patients and we’re already beginning to think of ways it can help other departments and improve patient outcomes.  “It can be used with patients of varying upper limb ability, and it will be a useful assessment and treatment tool to enhance our current rehabilitation. It gives biofeedback to patients so they can start to relearn patterns of movement with the aim to increase their functional independence.”


Mr Joy Chowdhury, Consultant in Spinal Injuries, said: “When we were offered the chance to receive this equipment for our patients, the whole team jumped at the opportunity.  “On behalf of us all at the Midland Centre for Spinal Injuries, I’d like to thank our NHS Commissioners (NHS England and Improvement) for funding these initiatives – it has allowed us to further support patient care through offering modern and innovative rehabilitation techniques.”


Philip Hulse, Therapy Services Manager, said: “The whole team are delighted with the purchase of the new equipment for the Therapy Service – it’s really had a positive impact across the department. “This equipment means we can improve the outcomes of our patients; allow staff to be more creative with our treatment plans; and carry out high quality research which will benefit the Trust, orthopaedics and future patient

Revolutionary New Clinic for Tees Neuro Therapy Training

By Giuliana Kinnerly • May 7, 2025
Tees Neuro Therapy Training: A New Era in Neurological Rehabilitation & Strength Conditioning Since relocating to the newly expanded 4,000 sq. ft. facility, Tees Neuro Physiotherapy are launching a groundbreaking service: Tees Neuro Therapy Training . This innovative program introduces a new dimension to neurological rehabilitation by integrating Medical Training Therapy (MTT)—an approach that emphasizes strength and conditioning to complement traditional neurological physiotherapy. What Is Tees Neuro Therapy Training? Tees Neuro Therapy Training is designed for individuals recovering from neurological conditions who are ready to take their rehab to the next level—or maintain their health and mobility long-term. It’s ideal for patients who want to build upon the gains they’ve made in physiotherapy or those who are transitioning into more independent exercise but still need specialist support. At the heart of this service will be the UK's first centre to offer a suite of Tyromotion MTT devices, (including the LEXO , Amadeo , Myro and Tyrostation ) engineered for disabled access and neuro-rehab settings. These state-of-the-art tools offer a safe, adaptive, and empowering way to train—an option that simply isn’t available in standard gyms. They will be the first in the UK to house this kit which uniquely works by using compressed air for strength training rather than weights. An absolute game changer for exercise!

Tecnobody solutions in NeurotherapyWorx

By Giuliana Kinnerly • January 6, 2025
We are so pleased to see our Tecnobody Solution at the neuro-rehab outpatient centre in Neurotherapy Worx. The centre, based near Wigan, started using the D-Wall at the beginning of the year and went on to include the Prokin 252, WalkerView, and Data Server devices. Clinic owner, Sarah Wilkinson's experience with the advanced motion tracking, analysis, and therapy programs of the D-Wall has led her to adopt additional solutions, such as the Prokin 252 for balance and proprioception, and the Walker View for gait assessment and training. This strategy is designed to motivate patients and supply valuable data to the physiotherapy team, potentially reducing recovery time.
