Rehabilitation equipment for injuries, surgeries and illnesses

Any injury or serious illness has its consequences, including impaired mobility. The rehabilitation process will help reduce these consequences and restore lost functions.

In cases of long-term recovery, special devices and medical simulators are often used.

Other rehabilitation products can also support and help during this period.

Why do we need rehabilitation simulators?

The main purpose of using rehabilitation simulators is to improve mobility, coordination, strength and endurance after physical limitations. They help:

• restore mobility of arms and legs after a stroke;
• reduce pain and swelling after injuries and surgeries;
• gradually strengthen the muscle corset;
• improve blood circulation and tissue trophism;
• coordinate movements and stimulate the nervous system.

What types of exercise machines are there for rehabilitation?

Rehabilitation exercise machines can have different appearances, sizes, shapes and purposes.

A fine motor skills rehabilitation exercise machine is most often a small object placed in the hand. This can be a ball, an expander, a rubber net, which the patient sorts through, restoring the functionality of the fingers. They come in different degrees of rigidity, for different stages of recovery. Also, such a simulator can look like a stand with different tiny parts, rotary levers, hooks, keys, such a simulator can even be made independently.

A simulator for the rehabilitation of arms and legs 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 strand, they look like pedals on a base. For use in rehabilitation centers, they can be larger, full-fledged exercise bikes with a seat, even with the ability to lie down.

Hand rehabilitation is necessary after severe injuries to the musculoskeletal system for people with disabilities who, for example, use a wheelchair and must turn the wheels of the wheelchair themselves.

For the rehabilitation of the lumbar region and the musculoskeletal system, more serious exercise machines are required. Such exercise machines are, as a rule, more massive and expensive. Various vertical tables, bars, tracks with hanging fastenings for the patient, all this is aimed at restoring the tone of the muscle corset. Such exercise machines help the patient to take and maintain a vertical position, and allow developing not only the legs, but also the hip joints.

Arm exercise machine that restores precision of movement

Arm exercise machine is an indispensable device for people who have suffered a stroke, fractures or operations on the upper limbs. Such devices help:

• develop fine motor skills;
• restore strength in the hands and forearms;
• improve coordination;
• reduce spasticity and stiffness.

Modern exercise machines are often equipped with an adjustable load level, which allows you to adapt the exercises to the individual capabilities of the patient. If you are looking for an effective solution for home rehabilitation, it is worth buying an arm trainer that matches the level of difficulty and type of impairment.

Leg Trainer for Restoring Joint Mobility

After knee, hip or stroke injuries, it is very important to gradually activate the lower limbs. The leg trainer helps:

• restore strength to the thigh and calf muscles;
• develop joint flexibility;
• improve walking and coordination;
• reduce the risk of thrombosis and congestion.

Rehabilitation trainers often use mechanisms for passive and active development, which allows them to be used even in cases of partial or complete loss of motor activity.

After joint disease or after endoprosthetics, it is important to gradually return to normal life and use special rehabilitation devices, such as a high toilet seat or walkers for movement the first days after surgery.

Stroke Recovery Trainer

Stroke is one of the most common neurological diseases, leaving behind long-term consequences. After the acute period, the patient needs targeted therapy, including exercises on special equipment. A stroke recovery trainer allows you to activate muscles that have been immobile for a long time, restore body symmetry, and improve balance and coordination.

Stroke recovery trainers can be either manual or automated. Many allow you to start training even in bed, which is critically important in the early stages of recovery.

We remind you that for bedridden patients there is the opportunity to buy a medical bed with an electric drive, which will greatly simplify the care of a seriously ill patient at home.

Choosing and buying a rehabilitation simulator

Rehabilitation simulators are necessary for effective recovery after many illnesses and injuries, they are indispensable for military personnel after operations as a result of injuries.

When choosing a simulator, pay attention to some points:

• the physical condition of the patient;
• what part of the body and muscle groups will have to be worked with;
• where the training will take place, at home or under the supervision of a rehabilitation specialist in a specialized center.
