Mechanotherapy
A rehabilitation method based on the use of mechanical devices to restore joint mobility and increase muscle strength in patients after injuries and operations on the musculoskeletal system.
Mechanotherapy is the performance of controlled movements using devices that provide a metered load on joints and muscles.
The method is especially relevant in orthopedics and traumatology to restore joint mobility, strengthen muscles and prevent muscular atrophy. Mechanotherapy accelerates rehabilitation after joint surgery, fractures and spinal diseases.
Consultation with a rehabilitation doctor or a physiotherapist. Diagnostic assessment of joint mobility and muscle tone. Selection of the optimal type of mechanotherapy (passive or active).
If passive mechanotherapy is used, the device independently sets the joint in motion with a given speed and amplitude. This approach ensures the soft development of the joint without the active participation of the patient, which is suitable for the early recovery period after injuries and operations. Active mechanotherapy requires the patient to perform movements with effort, while simulators provide a metered load on muscles and joints. This allows you to strengthen muscles, improve movement control and restore joint mobility. The duration of one session is from 30 to 60 minutes. The course of therapy includes 10-20 procedures that are performed daily or every other day.
Artromot and BTL devices are modern systems for passive and active mechanotherapy of joints of the upper and lower extremities.
After mechanotherapy, the patient can immediately return to his usual activities. Muscle fatigue and a slight painful sensation are normal reactions to the procedure.
Benefits
Security and control
The devices provide accurate dosing of the load and amplitude of movements.
Effective restoration of mobility
Mechanotherapy helps to restore joint mobility after injuries and operations.
Suitable for all ages
The procedure is safe even for elderly patients and people with limited physical activity.
Accelerated recovery
The technique accelerates the rehabilitation process and increases the functionality of joints and muscles.
