Specialised Equipment
FES Bike
FES stands for Functional Electrical Stimulation. It is a stationary bicycle with a computer that supplies electrical impulses to an individual’s muscles. It will automatically detect muscle output and produce current at the right time. This allows an individual to naturally cycle despite weakness, paralysis, or other functional issues.
NuStep
The NuStep is a recumbent cross trainer designed to give both arms and legs a full workout, building the body’s strength, cardio and endurance. Using the NuStep regularly can help reduce hospitalizations, improve recovery outcomes, and enhance overall health and quality of life.
SCIFit
The SCIFit is a versatile rehabilitation tool that offers a full-body workout. It combines an upper body exerciser with a lower body recumbent bike, providing a comprehensive solution for total body exercise and rehabilitation.
Total Gym
The Total Gym consists of a sliding board and pulley system which utilizes your body weight and gravity to provide resistance for a variety of exercises. The Total Gym allows you to transition from one exercise to the next, making it ideal for circuit training. There are no weights to add or remove between exercises.
Standing Frame
Standing in a standing frame is a way to decrease the risk of complications that can result from prolonged use of a wheelchair or from immobilization. The benefits of standing are well documented and recognised. Most NHS Trust web-pages state that the benefits of standing include increased bone density, improved circulation, muscle tone and posture. Standing stretches leg and back muscles, promoting better joint alignment. Maintaining joint range of motion helps prevent painful joints later in life. Standing is also known to offer some people with disabilities better bladder and bowel functions, improved self-esteem, and a greater overall sense of well-being.
Syrebo Rehabilitation gloves
The Syrebo rehabilitation gloves utilize soft robotic exoskeleton technology, which combines passive and active integration training helping patients re-learn through exercise. This technology covers the full circle of rehabilitation stages, making it effective for various training modes including passive flexion and extension training, mirror training, functional training, assistive training and resistance training. Using the Syrebo gloves regularly promotes brain injury recovery, improves hand activity ability, and restores daily living activities.
