Comprehensive rehabilitation solution

When planning a comprehensive rehabilitation solution, several factors should be taken into account. It is important to provide the right type of rehabilitation at different stages of the rehabilitation process, meaning it is necessary to be aware of which stage of the rehabilitation pathway the patients are at when receiving rehabilitation from the service provider. After that, it is possible to consider which technological solutions enable the right type of rehabilitation, and whether, for example, small group training is the right solution for enabling sufficient intensity.

It is also important to consider a solution that enables cost-effective and productive rehabilitation. State-of-the-art rehabilitation robots, motivating sensor-based rehabilitation devices and virtual environments enable effective and motivating rehabilitation for the patient. This also allows the therapist to focus more effectively on the overall picture — guiding, correcting and advising — when attention no longer needs to be directed to, for example, moving the patient’s leg or keeping them upright.

It is advisable to make use of expert assistance when planning a comprehensive solution, in order to arrive at the right solution and find the right technologies to support rehabilitation and its delivery.
