It is impossible to talk about neurorehabilitation without mentioning the advance of new technologies. And it is that, as different scientific studies maintain, new technologies offer the possibility of repeating exercises multiple times and improve performance monitoring, thus producing a more effective rehabilitation.
Also, thanks to new technologies, professionals can improve their rehabilitation program and develop changes to exercises or activities that are not being 100% effective. In addition, patients feel much more motivated, since dynamism and a more stimulating result are introduced.
A fast and accurate diagnosis
Of course, thanks to new technologies, professionals can develop a more precise diagnosis that allows patients a better recovery as well as a more accurate assessment of their evolution.
At Grupo 5, a company that offers specific and individualized care to people with acquired brain damage and patients with different neurological pathologies, they are aware of the importance of the latest technologies in recovering people’s autonomy.
That is why its professionals apply the most advanced technologies in each of the rehabilitation sessions and offer individualized attention.
Technology in treatment and diagnosis
This company, a leader in the recovery of patients with neurological pathologies, is at the forefront of medical technology. From diagnostic instruments that offer greater precision to technological treatments that reach optimal levels of rehabilitation.
Thus, they usually use transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation, movement analysis, musculoskeletal simulations, virtual reality, GNPT or Vitalstim driving simulator, among other innovative techniques, in their sessions.
However, depending on the needs or areas to be rehabilitated, they have different technological advances, among which the following stand out:
- CMILL VR: Exoskeleton with gait strap that allows an objective evaluation of gait and balance.
- Armeo Spring: Device for the recovery of the upper limbs. It is based on performing functional therapeutic exercises in a virtual reality environment, through games.
- Armeo Senso: Rehabilitation system made up of inertial sensors and a motivating virtual reality environment for the patient.
- Fesia Grap: Hand neurorehabilitation device for people who have lost the ability to control the hand and forearm muscles, the movement of the fingers, through electrical stimulation.
- Fesia Walk: Gait neurorehabilitation device for people with foot drop, through the generation of superficial electrical stimulation of the posterior tibial and common peroneal nerves to induce plantar and dorsal flexion in the corresponding phases of gait .
- Oculus Quest: Virtual reality device with software for coordination and laterality training.
- Neuron Up: Cognitive rehabilitation software.
- Vital Stim: Non-invasive and painless treatment for the treatment of dysphagia, obtained by external electrical stimulation that is applied to the anterior face of the neck.
New center in Zaragoza
Last October, Grupo 5 opened a new center in Zaragoza that has more than 2,700 square meters and 49 residential places.
This center joins the network of neurological rehabilitation centers that Grupo 5 has in Madrid, Navarra and Zaragoza with its own recovery model.
A team made up of professionals from physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, nursing, neurology or neuropsychology, among others, offer an individualized and transdisciplinary solution to patients with acquired brain injury, since for rehabilitation to be effective a coordinated response is required on the part of the patient. of the specialists.
Needs after brain damage
Acquired brain damage is the result of a brain injury that appears suddenly and that can affect the person, appearing difficulties in communication, in cognitive abilities, in the respiratory or digestive system, in the ability to move or in the mental state. emotional, among others.
Unlike other neurological diseases, brain damage requires rapid action in both detection and rehabilitation treatment.
What is neurological rehabilitation?
Neurological rehabilitation is a process in which people who have suffered damage to the nervous system can improve their functionality and achieve independence in carrying out daily activities.
The keys to recovering skills again after brain damage are a transdisciplinary team with specialized training in neurorehabilitation; an intervention focused on the individual needs of patients; the promotion of the autonomy of people and the development of daily skills for the transition to life in their own home.
And it is scientifically proven that technology should be an important part of recovery for people who suffer neurological damage (for example, a stroke), especially robotic technology.
Group 5 CIAN, pioneers in neurological rehabilitation
The specialized centers of Grupo 5 CIAN offer neuropsychology, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing, medical and social therapies.
In addition, as we mentioned at the beginning, they have the most cutting-edge technology and facilities in the sector. In this way, they manage to offer a specialized service in the field of neurorehabilitation.
novel methodology
In their methodology, they include a rehabilitation and cognitive stimulation program, a training program in basic activities and a mobility program, among other advances.
Currently they offer a service of residential stays, day care and outpatient care.
