Medical Exercise
Movement as Medicine
Movement can be very effective medicine in the treatment of musculoskeletal problems but like with any medicine too much can be harmful while too little has no effect.
The right dosage
The main component in successful progress is the ability to quantify and control all variables in therapeutic exercises. This is possible if the devices are correctly designed to provide smooth and easy-to-handle loading over the full range of movement. The movement and speed are accurately controlled by the responsive graphical feedback of the EVE Terminals which ensures that individually prescribed, safe range is followed.
Optimized biomechanics
The NH Back Home Care Solution includes a specific device for treatment of low back with optimized biomechanical properties. Using correct hip fixation and axis alignment, scientifically proven loading curves and target area isolation, these devices are remarkably gentle to the back yet providing highest possible neuromuscular training effect.
All movements should start with limited range and low loading, within the pain tolerance. Time is essential since physiological changes are slow. Ideal treatment should run for three months.
Ease of Use
With all the sophistication in the devices and software, the NH Home Care devices are remarkably easy to use. When the device is delivered to patient’s home the therapist adjusts the seats and other support elements according the patient’s needs. When the patient registers to the device with an RFID card the individualized care program is retrieved from the cloud. After the first instructed session, and with the help of the monitoring clinician, patients master quickly the use of the system.
Technology for Telemedicine
All David home care units are connected to the cloud-based information system enabling remote monitoring of the patient’s daily activity and progress. All treatment and questionnaire data is instantly available for reporting and analysis. With one click, up-to-date status of any patient can be retrieved. The home care device accurately measures and collects all aspects of medical exercise including range of motion, training weight, speed, number of repetitions, and calculates patient’s treatment compliance.
