Thanks to the knowledge of neuroplasticity, we know that this way of learning everyday activities is for neurological patients most efficient.
It is based on multiple task-specific training
Shows the patient the way - by robotic brace motors leading the patient's steps, teaching him how to walk
For patients who have never walked before, this is an indispensable help.
It affects the sensoric abilities
We know that the motor and sensor system are interconnected. If we want to influence the motor, we also have to act on sensory, otherwise we will not achieve quality and sustainable results.
It allows individual load adjustment
The Lokomat suspension system allows to adjust the intensity of the training in accordance with the patient’s health condition and rehabilitation goals. It is possible to gradually increase the burden, thus pushing the patient further into his or her skills.
It´s intense and long-lasting
At the AXON Neurorehabilitation Clinic, you can choose 1 or 2-hour therapy with Lokomat for 3 or 4 weeks, or longer – at your choice. Research shows that 21 days, or at least three weeks, are needed to create a new habit.
60 – 120 minutes of walking training repeated every weekday for several weeks brings results!
It can motivate the patient
Thanks to virtual (or augmented) reality, the patient sees movement on the monitor in various practical situations (for example, when digging into a ball, following an animal, etc.). It is easier to see the meaning of your training and is motivated to continue or to perform its best possible performance.
Enables to objectively evaluate the quality of the movement
With robotic sensors, the physiotherapist receives information about the strength, extent, or accuracy of the patient’s movement. Based on these accurate data, he can adapt the therapy to the patient so that it is effective for him.
