The consequence of any injury is rehabilitation. Unfortunately, not always the rehabilitation period passes quickly and easily. In cases of long-term recovery, they often resort to the use of special devices and all kinds of simulators.

These assistive devices can be of various appearance, size, shape and purpose. Let's try to figure out the types and purposes of simulators together.

A fine motor rehabilitation simulator is most often a small object that fits in the hand. It can be a ball, an expander, a rubber mesh, which the patient sorts out, thus renewing the working capacity of the fingers. They come in different hardness, for different stages of recovery. Also, such a simulator may look like a stand with various small parts, rotary levers, hooks, keys, such a simulator can even be made independently.

The hand and leg rehabilitation simulator can be used both at home and in rehabilitation centers. The best option is an exercise bike. It can be of different sizes and configurations, for use in a private lock, they look like pedals on the base. For use in rehabilitation centers, they can also be large, full-fledged exercise bikes with a seat, even with the possibility of a lying position. Most have the ability to adjust the degree of load for each patient, as well as a movement counter to track the dynamics of classes.

For the rehabilitation of the lower back and the musculoskeletal system, more serious simulators are needed. Such simulators are already, as a rule, more massive and expensive. Various tables, verticalizers, bars, tracks with hanging mounts for the patient, all this is aimed at restoring the tone of the muscle corset. Such simulators help the patient to take and maintain a vertical position, make it possible to develop not only the legs, but also the hip joints.

When choosing a simulator, pay attention to some points:

• The physical condition of the patient;
• What part of the body and muscle groups will you have to work with;
• Where will the training take place, at home or under the supervision of a rehabilitation specialist in a specialized center.

Today, the possibilities for rehabilitation have expanded significantly. You can practice not only in special centers, but also at home. A variety and wide range of simulators qualitatively improve the work of orthopedists and rehabilitators, a properly selected recovery program and the necessary equipment expand the possibilities for many patients.
