OEX MOLTY Effective Rehabilitation for the Patient with Neurological nvolvement ody n alance Physical Therapy & Fitness enter Music-based therapy is gaining momentum as a powerful evidence-based treatment for Parkinson s and other movement disorders. Music-ssisted Therapy features compositions written and performed by music therapists to facilitate correct gait kinematics. Repetition of correct movement through gait training enhances neuroplasticity. The advanced technology built into the Gait Trainer 3 documents progress, proving the value of treatment. We utilize the iodex Gait Trainer, combined with specific functional exercises, to help clients learn to walk safely and more confidently. Fran, a long-term Parkinson s patient has been coming to ody n alance for five years. Her therapy sessions help her through the limitations she experiences as a result of the disease. Fran s left side is affected by Parkinson s disease, and sometimes her left foot feels like it s in cement. My brain is telling my body that it wants to move, but my feet just do not respond, explains Fran. s part of her evaluation, Fran was introduced to the music-enhanced iodex Gait Trainer. She claims her ability to move is totally different when she uses the Gait Trainer, and praises the combination of visual biofeedback and rhythmic music. t shows a little diagram of where your feet should be and at what pace you should be walking. t gives you a regular musical beat to keep up with. Fran feels the Gait Trainer does more than just keep her in rhythm, but makes it so that she wants to keep in rhythm. When am on the Gait Trainer, might feel my body getting ready to slow down, and yet the gait trainer keeps my brain aware that my feet should keep going. t s like mind over matter, you listen to the music and keep up with the rhythm of the music. t s very effective.

This basic activity overcomes circulation problems, disuse atrophy, stimulates neural pathways, and plays a role in the psychology of a patient s sense of independence.

She received her physical therapy degree from the Medical ollege of Georgia, and recently graduated as doctor of physical therapy. evra rown, PT, PT Outpatient Manager, Emory University Rehab Hospital Our neuro rehab clinic is hospital-based and supports the Emory Rehabilitation Hospital located on our main campus, r. rown explains. The Emory rain Health enter in tlanta is building what it believes will be one of the nation s leading outpatient rehabilitation centers for patients with neurological diseases and conditions. The heart of this modern center on tlanta, Georgia s Emory University campus is a team of highly experienced therapists equipped with one of the field s most advanced range-of-technology systems, including the first music therapy-enhanced gait trainer, and the nation s most extensive FreeStep SS track systems. New technology accelerates therapy, protects patients and PTs Emory s new FreeStep track system protects patients being treated on the clinic s Gait Trainers from a potential fall and injury, as well as those relearning to ambulate safely over ground. y increasing staff efficiency and reducing risk of their injury, the track system enables the clinic to better meet the challenge of changing reimbursement, since it enables a single therapist to treat each patient, no matter how unstable or obese. Most clinics attempt to guard patients at risk of falling while ambulating with a therapist and an aide. Such a practice can expose both patient and therapists to risk of injury and obviously, therapists can t prevent a fall when a patient is on a treadmill, r. rown explains. The FreeStep lets a single therapist train even our most unstable or obese patients without risk of injury to either patient or therapist. n addition to safety, the integration of the FreeStep track system allows the patient to safely experience changes in balance and learn how to respond physically to those changes in balance. That s crucial to patients learning how to safely walk in the community and can t be learned with aides or parallel bars, as in most clinics. Read full case study: Protected from falls with the FreeStep, the patient safely trains on the iodex Gait Trainer equipped with the latest Music Therapy feature. FreeStep ccessories omponents and options make customization for your facility easy Therapists using safe patient handling equipment are experiencing increased options in therapy, accomplish more, and mobilize patients earlier in their recovery.

The alance System can capture, quantify and document any overcompensation. s a result, therapists can determine if an inappropriate response is a unilateral strength issue, or an initiation or stabilization issue. The training exercises of the alance System S are geared to improve strength, range of motion, gait and balance for those patients suffering from neurological involvement associated with Parkinson s, Stroke or Peripheral Neuropathy. NxStep unweighing System Restore functional mobility The iodex NxStep Unweighing System enables partial weight-bearing therapy with open access to the patient. Offloading a percentage of body weight allows the opportunity for early rehabilitation while providing a safe environment for patient and therapist. Therapists can focus on treating their patients, manually facilitating lower extremities. The dynamic, single-point suspension of NxStep accommodates pelvic rotation and vertical displacement. This encouragement of proper mechanics allows functional gait patterns to be practiced.

Simple operation supports independent use by individuals in their home, or in clinical settings. The open design offers comfortable access when exercising from a chair or wheelchair, allowing for earlier movement training interventions. Proven very effective for patients with Parkinson s disease, the movement training of medike helps gently loosen and strengthen muscles and reduce spasticity. Research has shown that some people with Parkinson s disease can benefit by exercising in the Pedal ssisted Mode at the higher rpm levels that the medike offers, up to 90 rpm.
