MOTIONrehab implement the Tyrosolution

On Tuesday 11th April 2018, MOTIONrehabtook delivery of the TYROSOLUTIONby TYROMOTION. MOTIONrehab based in Leeds is the UK’s first Intensive Outpatient & Residential* Neurological Rehabilitation Facility augmented by Robotics and Virtual Reality. The centre will include a range of upper and lower limb robotics and virtual reality technology. The MOTIONrehab centre will be the only location within Europe to combine these particular devices under one roof, giving the clinic International Reference Centre Status for treatment, teaching and research.

The new concept offers patients specialist one to one hands-on therapy from experienced and highly skilled clinicians. Uniquely, MOTIONrehab clients will also spend time training with the robotic and virtual reality devices individually and in groups. This allows patients to practice high repetitions of movements which is critical to neuro-plasticity and the optimisation of outcomes.

The team at Ectron believe that Tuesday was an important milestone for neurological rehabilitation in the UK. It might not be in everybody's reach yet and it might not, at first impressions be everybody's solution but Ectron believes that one day the industry will look back at this implementation as the start of when neurological rehabilitation began to change. Whilst recognising that a lot of work has been done by many people to develop technology as an aid to rehab it has primarily been used as part of the traditional service delivery. Technology has provided the means for mass practise and repetition, however MOTIONrehab is the first facility in the UK to offer high intensity rehabilitation programmes with specialist 'hands-on' therapy augmented with robotics and virtual reality. This means the investment in technology is being used to leverage and expand he skills of the clinicians and not replace them but boost productivity. In turn this will allow for a higher dose of therapy.

MOTIONrehab launch date awaits, look out for more news over the coming weeks.
