Anti-spasm kinesiotherapy

Anti-spasm kinesiotherapy of lower and upper extremities is carried out using a special, electronically-controlled device RECK MOTOMED (MOTOmed VIVA), with original feature – anti-spasm functionality, taking advantage of the principle of alternating phase of the muscle-antagonists movements.
Anti-spasm kineziotherapy always switches to the follow up training of walking. The device applies dynamic kineziotherapy to lower and upper extremities, in case of minimal muscle strength or large "elasticity", which the is patient unable to overcome himself/herself, it uses electric motor, and the device acts partially also as a dynamic splint. The advantage of the device is its ability to record any active movement which the patient performs using its own strength.
The patient should strive and be motivated to exercise active movements, and the device facilitates such efforts. The biggest advantage of the device is its anti-spasm action. If confronted with spasm the device stops moving and automatically moves back. This results in "the dissolution" of a spasm and gradually in a reduced frequency of spastic complications.
It allows a more extensive dynamic antispastic kineziotherapy, better self-reliance of the patient, and most of all the follow up ver ticalisation and training of walk. This antispastic effect suppor ts ergotherapeutic programme, walking school and other activities. Anti-spasm kineziotherapy at the same time supports trophics and mobilisation of basic joints in the lower or upper extremity.
It supports also the strengthening of muscles. The device is designed solely for neurological indications, and it does not serve as a replacement of ergometer, fitness concept machines, or ordinary bikes.
