Mechanotherapy in a narrow sense of the word uses various static as well as dynamic forces, applied through the use of different equipment, tools and devices designed for curative/rehabilitation purposes.
The objective is mainly achievement of larger joint mobilisation spans using technical means designed to increase the joint mobilisation, e.g.:
- biking on the fitness concept machines or ergometers
- mobilisation of arm joints through exercising on wall bars
- exercising with electric dynamic splints, relaxation of cramps (spasms) using special equipment with antispastic devices – antispastic kineziotherapy Reck Motomed
These devices can act either passively (i.e. controlled with patient's own forces), or actively, using the equipment drive with an option of varying different parameters set up (speed, frequency, resistance, direction of the motion).
Further purpose of mechanotherapy is the strengthening of selected muscle groups, which is achieved mainly through various resistance-weight systems, electromagnetic-induced resistance, or resistance induced with elastic belts or springs.
Many devices have universal character and at the same time improve the mobilisation of joints and muscles.
The procedure has to be prescribed by a doctor.
