About diagnosis, treatment and recovery
What is upper-limb robotic therapy and how does it work?
It works the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand with a sensor-assisted robot, within safe limits set by the therapist, using high-repetition, task-oriented exercise.
Is recovery possible for a paralyzed arm and hand?
Although it varies by function level, high-repetition, goal-oriented therapy aims to improve arm-hand function.
How does robotic therapy differ from classic hand therapy?
It offers repetition counts unreachable by manpower alone, real-time feedback and measurable, gamified tasks; it is used together with conventional therapy.
How does FES help with grasp?
Functional electrical stimulation targets the muscles that support grasp, hand opening and wrist movement.
Why is virtual reality therapy used?
It increases motivation and engagement, eases repetition and provides real-time feedback.
Is therapy suitable for an arm with spasticity?
Yes; the program is planned to include reducing muscle stiffness and preserving joint range of motion.
How long does the program last and how many sessions are needed?
Duration and session count are set according to the patient’s function level and goals; they are stated transparently in your personalized offer.
Are home continuation programs and remote follow-up possible?
Yes; a home program is provided at the end and progress can be monitored with remote follow-up.
