A new equipment appeared in the West Siberian Medical Center - a unique "robot" for the rehabilitation of patients after a stroke
The modern robotic complex Lokomat for restoring walking skills will soon become part of the neurorehabilitation program of the neurological department of the West Siberian Medical Center of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia (FGBUZ ZSMC FMBA Russia). Unique equipment weighing more than a ton has been assembled, and a separate room has been prepared for it. In the near future, doctors of the neurology department of the West Siberian Medical Center will undergo training at the Central Clinical Hospital of Restorative Treatment of FMBA Russia.
"The process of restoring the walking is very difficult," says the head of the neurology department of the West Siberian Medical Center, Ph.D. Olga Semenovna Gritsenko. - Therapy on the unique robotic complex "Locomat" is well compatible with physiotherapeutic and medicamental treatment. An integrated approach to treatment will be most effective for patients. " "Lokomat" allows to automate the motor therapy on the treadmill and improve the learning efficiency of walking.
The Swiss-made Lokomat complex will be used for patients after strokes, traumatic lesions of the central nervous system, parkinsonism, residual phenomena of polyneuropathies and other neurological diseases. A great advantage of modern equipment is the ability to select a stereotype of movement individually for each patient, depending on its disease.
Neurorehabilitation is the leading activity of the neurology department of the West Siberian Medical Center. The rehabilitation program is aimed at reducing the symptoms of the disease and improving the quality of life of the patient. Doctors of the department are convinced that modern robotic rehabilitation equipment recognized throughout the world will make the work in this direction more effective.
