The three pillars of success in orthopedic and neurological rehabilitation:

 

Patients with orthopedic or neurological disorders will require specialised rehabilitation programmes. Such programmes are designed to help alleviate their symptoms. These programmes will also help patients to relearn motor skills and regain some independence.

 

There are three pillars of success for long-term orthopedic and neurologic rehabilitation programmes, and the h/p/cosmos robowalk system supports all three.

 

Pillar 1: Motivating the patient

 

The patented h/p/cosmos robowalk system uses a safety arch, patented arm support and patent pending airwalk un-weighting system (body-weight support). This helps the patient to feel safe and secure. It also makes the therapist feel comfortable during the session. And because both patient and therapist feel safe, motivation is boosted.

 

Pillar 2: Correct movement pattern / physiological gait

 

The robowalk expander system helps the patient to move. And with the help and guidance from the therapist, the patient is able to learn the correct physiological gait. robowalk is an active gait correction (AGC) system.

 

Pillar 3: Repetition of movement

 

Patients with neurologic problems, such as stroke, Parkinson’s Disease, MS, SCI or TBI patients, often suffer from early onset fatigue. This will affect the therapy being successful or not. For successful rehabilitation, the patient must repeat the correct movement many times in order to trigger and activate neuroplasticity functions of the brain. This helps them to re-learn a physiological gait pattern based on neuroplasticity. But for therapists, this is an exhausting process.

 

The robowalk system, in conjunction with the locomotion treadmill with ergonomic therapist seats, is the ideal system to enable this important third pillar “repetition of movement”. Not only will it help patients walk with better physiological gait pattern, but it also helps therapists too, thanks to the inclusion of therapist seats.

Altitude Physiology is a core component of Suborbital Scientist Training. During Altitude Physiology training, future Space Scientists experience hypoxia to learn and understand their bodies' unique reactions for future recognition of dangerous hypoxic situations.

The NASTAR Center Altitude Chamber takes trainees up to 40,000 feet during this course and can accommodate 12 trainees in its main compartment and 4 trainees in the Rapid Decompression compartment.
