This article offers a detailed guide to adaptive equipment procurement after a spinal cord injury or disability. It emphasises the significance of initial assessment, research, and involving healthcare professionals, family, and caregivers. It also covers vendor reliability, financial aspects, equipment trial, customisation, training, maintenance, reassessment, community support, and embracing new technologies. Overall, the holistic approach aims to ensure a positive outcome for individuals needing adaptive equipment.

Discover how choosing an FES bike can transform your fitness and independence. Overcome barriers and embrace the possibilities that technology and determination offer. Find a bike that supports your goals and encourages regular use for the best outcomes in your fitness journey. Harness the power of FES bikes to unlock your potential.

The RehaMove FES Cycling system (sometimes known as an FES bike) is widely used by clients to allow them to exercise paralysed muscles actively. There are many benefits of doing this following a neurological condition such as a spinal cord injury.

This video may be of general interest, but will be particularly useful to existing users of our FES Cycling system who wish to get more from using the product. The video is around 15 minutes long and it addresses three commonly asked questions

• Why should I use an FES bike?

• When and why should I change the stimulation settings?

• How should I make these changes?

The video distinguishes between training for a goal and general exercise and looks at a useful structure to think about how to train, The effect of changing each of the stimulation parameters is considered. You might want to term on subtitles when viewing the video.

The Tek RMD is a great use of robotic technology. The product allows persons with lower limb paralysis or weakness to get out of their wheelchair with very little effort, and then stand in a great posture whilst being able to move around. It’s not an alternative to a wheelchair or a replacement for a wheelchair but it does offer a unique complement to one. Sitting in a wheelchair all day is not great for health and standing is obviously desirable in many practical and social situations.

What is not so obvious at a glance is that each Tek RMD is capable of being adjusted to suit a wide range of statures. The cosmetic bodywork covers the means to adjust the product and we cant generally make major adjustments on site.

In this article we cover what measurements we use to adjust the Tek RMD to the individual user

Hand function is an essential aspect of an individual’s daily life. It allows people to perform various activities such as writing, grasping objects, and gestures. However, many factors can disrupt hand function such as physical injury, nerve damage, stroke, spinal cord injury and more. Fortunately, there are several ways to regain hand function. This article will delve into the different techniques and tips on how you can regain your hand function.

Later in this article we will introduce Carbonhand. This technology, by providing support and enhancing grip strength, can help individuals regain control over their daily lives, allowing them to maintain their autonomy, social engagement, and overall well-being.

Carbonhand, a ground breaking assistive device, is set to transform the lives of individuals with weak grip and poor hand function in the United Kingdom.

Combining advanced technology and innovative design, this grip-strengthening, robotic glove offers newfound independence and enhanced quality of life to those who struggle with hand strength and dexterity. In this article, we will explore the product, who might benefit from Carbonhand, and describe the main features of this revolutionary medical device. The journey of Carbonhand began in the early 2000s with Hans von Holst, a neurologist at Karolinska Hospital, who often encountered patients with severely reduced strength and mobility in their hands. Teaming up with Jan Wikander, Professor of Mechatronics, they began developing a glove that could help strengthen hand grip. This collaboration led to the creation of the first Servoglove, the predecessor of Carbonhand.
