Fostering neuroplasticity for MS patients< Back
Fostering neuroplasticity through repetition and biofeedback
The common factor of virtually all neurological conditions is that they affect a person’s gait and balance – and thus, increase the risk of falls. Neuroplasticity represents much of the rationale for rehabilitation methods of neurological involvement such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and TBI.
It's World MS Day on 30th May 2021; So its a great time to highlight the positive effects physical therapy, such as music-assisted gait training and VibroTactile balance therapy, can have on MS patients. Take a look at some of the world-leading Biodex rehabilitation equipment below that specialise in helping Neurologically involved patients optimise their physical therapy...
Biodex Gait Trainer 3 with integrated Music-Assisted Therapy option
More than just a rehabilitation treadmill... It is the most important improvement to gait training since the parallel bars
The Gait Trainer 3 provides audio and visual biofeedback of step length and step speed 
The Biodex Gait Trainer™ 3 is more than just a rehabilitation treadmill... it is designed with an instrumental deck that issues both audio and visual real-time biofeedback to prompt patients into their correct gait pattern. Gait analysis and gait rehabilitation at its best; step length, step speed and right-to-left time distribution (step symmetry) are directly addressed. Patient footfall is compared to desired footfall step after step, both on the display in real time and documented in an easy to read histogram. Learn more...
Help Peripheral Neuropathy patients “Regain Their Centre” with balance assessment and training
A simple fall can change everything. Peripheral neuropathy patients with extremity numbness are in a high risk category;
our Balance Assessment and Training Programme can help them “regain their center” and rebuild the core strength necessary to mitigate a fall and improve balance and mobility. Beyond peripheral neuropathy, balance assessment and training is suitable for any patient considered at risk to fall. Learn more...
VibroTactile belt
Take Therapy to New Heights with Vibrotactile...
Did You Know… To enhance spatial awareness for jet pilots, sensors were embedded into their flight suits? Since then, vibrotactile technology has been adapted to balance rehabilitation with excellent results.
Providing real time biofeedback during rehabilitation is essential for patients and clinicians. Once integrated with the Balance System™ SD, the optional VibroTactile System offers an additional form of sensory feedback to help detect changes in postural sway. Using wireless technology, the tactile belt responds with a vibrating sensation when the patient sways outside the therapist-set parameters. Learn more...
