Tyromotion In Sheffield

Sheffield's Northern General Hospital Implements #tyrotherapy
The Northern General Hospital in Sheffield, is another NHS site that has invested in Tyrotherapy. The Neuro Rehab unit in the Princess Royal Spinal Injuries Unit has installed the Tyrostation, including the new Pablo and Tymo sensor devices. The Therapy team, led by Yvonne Whitehill and Emma Anderson produced a plan to implement an upper limb service to help improve the outcomes of their neuro patients in the 14 bed ward. This helped them secure funding for the new devices which will provide new options to train in a more motivating and intense concept. The Pablo will be used primarily for assessing force and range of movement in the hand and arm, but also has sensors which can be attached to the head, trunk and legs to ensure higher quality of movement with less compensation. The Tymo will be used to train the posture, core strength and weight baring in the arms and legs. We wish the team and their patients all the best for the future and hope they enjoy working with Tyromotion.

Ectron’s Role in Transforming Rehabilitation at the National Rehabilitation Centre The launch of the National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) marks a defining moment for the future of rehabilitation in the UK - and Ectron is incredibly proud to play a integral role in bringing world-leading robotic technology into the heart of the NHS. As pioneers in advanced rehabilitation solutions, we’ve partnered with the NRC to deliver a comprehensive suite of cutting-edge systems designed to support patients with life-changing injuries on their journey back to independence. This is one of the most ambitious and forward-thinking robotics installations ever seen in the NHS, and a milestone not just for Ectron, but for rehabilitation nationwide. The brand-new £105 million NHS National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC), run by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, has unveiled the most comprehensive robotics suite in the NHS. The pioneering robotics suite features cutting-edge technology from across Europe, including robots and devices which can be used when helping patients to walk again, relearn how to use their hands, and build function in specific parts of their body. The NRC is a 70-bed, state-of-the-art specialist rehabilitation centre for NHS patients who have experienced a life-changing illness or injury and is co-located with the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre (DMRC) on the Stanford Hall Rehabilitation Estate (SHRE) near Loughborough. A Fully Integrated Robotic Therapy Suite Ectron has supplied an entire ecosystem of leading technologies, each addressing a different aspect of physical recovery. Together, they form a seamless, multidisciplinary toolkit for therapists — enabling personalised, data-driven, intensive therapy that was previously only possible in specialist centres abroad. The NRC now features: LEXO – A state-of-the-art robotic gait trainer offering highly adaptive, safe, and intensive walking rehabilitation. D-Wall – An interactive digital mirror system that blends motion capture, balance training and functional movement work into a single immersive platform. Fesia Grasp & Fesia Walk – Advanced functional electrical stimulation devices that help retrain upper and lower limb muscle activation with remarkable precision. Amadeo – A globally recognised robotic hand therapy system, enabling early, highly repetitive fine-motor rehabilitation. MYRO – A sensor-based interactive therapy surface allowing task-oriented training that bridges physical and cognitive rehabilitation. Omego Plus – A lower-limb robotic trainer ideal for early mobilisation and targeted strength and coordination work. Diego – A sophisticated upper-limb robotic exoskeleton supporting arm movement for patients with severe weakness. Pablo – A versatile assessment and therapy system providing objective data and game-based training for both upper and lower limbs. Tymo – A lightweight wireless balance plate for dynamic postural training and progress tracking. Homing TT – A compact, powerful solution for practising functional reaching and movement control. Each device is among the best in its class - but together, they offer unparalleled scope for personalised rehabilitation, spanning early acute recovery through to high-level performance retraining.
A New Era of Rehabilitation: The Phoenix Suite Opens at Montagu Hospital We’re proud to share a major milestone for rehabilitation technology in the UK - the official opening of the pioneering Phoenix Suite at Montagu Hospital . This brand-new therapy suite represents a significant investment in advanced neurorehabilitation and marks an exciting step forward for patient care within the NHS. Ectron is honoured to have played a key role in this incredible development, supplying a full range of innovative solutions to support recovery, independence, and improved outcomes for patients. At the heart of the Phoenix Suite is the LEXO , the UK’s first installation of this groundbreaking gait training system within the NHS. The LEXO combines robotic-assisted movement with real-time feedback, allowing patients to retrain their gait patterns safely and effectively - a huge step forward for post-stroke and neurological rehabilitation. Alongside the LEXO, we’ve also provided a comprehensive Tyrosolution setup, including devices such as Amadeo for hand rehabilitation and Omego Plus for cycling and stepping therapy. Together, these systems create a dynamic, gamified environment that motivates patients while offering clinicians precise, data-driven insights. The suite also features the Prokin 252 by Tecnobody, delivering detailed balance and posture assessments, and the Fesia Grasp , which uses functional electrical stimulation to support hand movement and functional recovery. By integrating these technologies, The Phoenix Suite offers one of the most complete rehabilitation solutions within the NHS - empowering clinicians and transforming the patient experience. Such technology, previously only available privately, allows patients to take part in personalised rehabilitation, while still working closely with specialist therapists. We’re thrilled to have worked alongside the dedicated teams at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to bring this vision to life. The Phoenix Suite truly embodies the future of neurorehabilitation: technology-led, patient-centred, and full of possibility.
This Summer, Resilience Neuro Specialists launches its flagship 'Resilience Therapy Centre' in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, with a state-of-the-art facility featuring next-generation rehabilitation technology. This marks a significant milestone for neurorehabilitation and offers the Midlands’ first outpatient environment equipped with a full suite of advanced neuro‑tech, previously only available in inpatient settings. But this isn’t just a therapy clinic - it’s a place built with intention, where cutting-edge technology meets expert clinical care to support people on their most important journeys: the path to recovery. Where? Set in the peaceful surroundings of Abbey Park in Stoneleigh, the Resilience Therapy Centre is a calm, accessible space created to make recovery more possible - physically, emotionally, and practically. The centre is designed to support people with neurological conditions like stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, or complex trauma, as well as those living with long-term conditions such as MS or Parkinson’s. Every inch of the space reflects the mission: to make rehabilitation more personalised, more measurable, and more hopeful. From step-free access and private consultation rooms, to an open-plan therapy gym full of natural light, it’s an environment where clients feel safe, supported, and motivated to move forward.
