Tek RMD Accessories - The Outdoor Kit
The Tek RMD from Matia Mobility was designed as an indoor product that allowed users with weak or paralysed legs to stand and move. This in itself has been a great boon for clients who wished to have greater independence for their day to day activities. Some clients discovered that the Tek RMD would work just fine on the outside deck or paving but the arrival of the Outdoor Kit accessory greatly extends this ability.
The video below shows that Tek RMD fitted with outdoor wheels being tried out on grass
The Tek RMD Returns to the UK
The Tek RMD deliveries are now resuming after some delays due to the COVID pandemic. The new electric lift version greatly expands the number of people who can use the product. New accessories allow for enhanced useability
The Tek RMD gets an exciting upgrade
Matia Robotics have announced three new options for the Tek RMD that we expect to be available in late 2020 or early 2021. We are most excited about the Motorised Electric Lifter which we feel will open up the product to many more potential users.
RehaIngest and automatic detection and evaluation of swallowing
Swallowing disorders are common and serious after stroke, brain injury, in ALS and a range of other conditions. For the diagnosis and treatment of swallowing disorders it is obviously important to have a reliable identification and evaluation of swallowing disorders. For use in the everyday clinic, non-invasive procedures which would allow objective, reliable swallowing detection would represent a significant advance. This system is now available as RehaIngest created by Hasomed GmbH. This development combines EMG of critical muscles along with Bioimpedance.
Exoskeletons - Great advance or expensive waste
We personally look on the emergence of exoskeleton technology in rehabilitation as a great advance but - as we are fond of saying at Anatomical Concepts - there are no perfect products. We realise that this technology is in it's infancy, it's too expensive for the majority and some clinicians doubt that it is cost-effective compared with other rehabilitation systems.
Sensorimotor rehabilitation of paralysed fingers
Some 30% of stroke survivors suffer from severe upper limb paresis with a non-functioning hand and the outcomes for rehab, at least in the research literature, seem to be poor. The RehaDigit produces controlled passive movements of paralysed fingers with the aim of allowing therapists to concentrate on more complicated tasks whilst allowing more intensive therapy. The device moves the four fingers over a physiological range of movement whilst adding a controlled vibration to activate the sensorimotor system.
