Have you see the Tek RMD yet? It's been described as a "moving standing frame" or the "Tek RMD wheelchair". It's not really a standing frame or a wheelchair actually, but it has some of the attributes of each.

A Tek RMD can allow persons with weak or paralysed legs to move easily between a seated and a standing position and then allow them to move around in their environment. Being narrower than a wheelchair it is easy to move around indoors and doesn’t take up so much space.

For most people that choose to use a Tek RMD they can enjoy a great standing posture and greatly increase their ability to stand during the day which we all know is good for health. Sitting in a wheelchair can be efficient to move around but the posture is not exactly health-giving.

In this article with video we see how to change the Tek RMD from indoor to outdoor trim

In physical rehabilitation, it is often the case that intensive effort is applied to exploit the natural ability of the body to adapt to the consequences of injury. This property, known as neuroplasticity is not yet fully understood but it at least represents hope that some functional recovery is possible in many cases. In many cases there will remain a functional deficit and ultimately we find ways to compensate for function that cannot be recovered.

The nervous system is a very complex, adaptable structure, that can be disrupted by illness or injury. Rehabilitation strategies to apply in a particular case obviously depend on the nature and extent of injury.

Clinicians might refer to an "upper motor" or "lower motor" lesion when discussing a particular case. What do these terms mean? In this article we review the meaning of these statements and the consequences for rehabilitation. Some of our electrical stimulation products relate to problems with the nervous system and may help to restore or compensate for loss of function following injury or illness. Which products are relevant to these types of lesions?

Let's start by reviewing some aspects of the nervous system.
