The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital chose Tyromotion's DIEGO, AMADEO and MYRO

Ectron is delighted to have worked with The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital (RJAH) and installing Tyromotion's DIEGO, AMADEO and MYRO. The state-of-the-art upper limb rehabilitation equipment will be used to support spinal cord injury patients with their rehabilitation.

Alison Mannion, Clinical Specialist Occupational Therapist, said “We are all very excited to have the new equipment to use with our patients and we’re already beginning to think of ways it can help other departments and improve patient outcomes.  “It can be used with patients of varying upper limb ability, and it will be a useful assessment and treatment tool to enhance our current rehabilitation. It gives biofeedback to patients so they can start to relearn patterns of movement with the aim to increase their functional independence.”

Mr Joy Chowdhury, Consultant in Spinal Injuries, said: “When we were offered the chance to receive this equipment for our patients, the whole team jumped at the opportunity.  “On behalf of us all at the Midland Centre for Spinal Injuries, I’d like to thank our NHS Commissioners (NHS England and Improvement) for funding these initiatives – it has allowed us to further support patient care through offering modern and innovative rehabilitation techniques.”

Philip Hulse, Therapy Services Manager, said: “The whole team are delighted with the purchase of the new equipment for the Therapy Service – it’s really had a positive impact across the department. “This equipment means we can improve the outcomes of our patients; allow staff to be more creative with our treatment plans; and carry out high quality research which will benefit the Trust, orthopaedics and future patient
