How can SpinoFLEX fill the needs for stroke rehab patients?
The harness attachment is used to initiate gait training and prevent falls. Without the need for additional gait-training specific equipment, the patient may, as conditioning, balance, and confidence improve, “graduate” to leaning over the platform or to using the crossbar or handgrips alone as support devices for gait, strength and cardiovascular training. The SpinoFLEX allows the patient to progress comfortably to more normal levels of day to day activities in safety while playing an active role in their own rehabilitation.. SpinoFLEX users control their own weight distribution to foster pain relief. They can take almost all of their body weight off the lower extremities and the lumbar spine area to reduce or eliminate stress in those areas. They can exercise longer with more stability and comfort, and with higher intensity while minimizing pain.
