Tyromotion In Sheffield

Sheffield's Northern General Hospital Implements #tyrotherapy

The Northern General Hospital in Sheffield, is another NHS site that has invested in Tyrotherapy. The Neuro Rehab unit in the Princess Royal Spinal Injuries Unit has installed the Tyrostation, including the new Pablo and Tymo sensor devices. The Therapy team, led by Yvonne Whitehill and Emma Anderson produced a plan to implement an upper limb service to help improve the outcomes of their neuro patients in the 14 bed ward. This helped them secure funding for the new devices which will provide new options to train in a more motivating and intense concept. The Pablo will be used primarily for assessing force and range of movement in the hand and arm, but also has sensors which can be attached to the head, trunk and legs to ensure higher quality of movement with less compensation. The Tymo will be used to train the posture, core strength and weight baring in the arms and legs. We wish the team and their patients all the best for the future and hope they enjoy working with Tyromotion.

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.
