A Device for the Rehabilitation Therapy of Patients with Motor Pathology Using Mechanotherapy, Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation of the Spinal Cord, and Biological Feedback

详细

A device − Biokin − for the rehabilitation of patients with neurological motor impairments was developed, with the capacity to provide mechanotherapy in combination with transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the spinal cord and biological feedback. The Biokin device includes a mechanical unit for moving the patient’s lower limbs, a Biostim-5 five-channel stimulator for transcutaneous spinal electrical stimulation, a biological feedback unit, and a control and switching unit; the system is controlled by computer. The device can be used in therapeutic, therapeutic-prophylactic, and scientific research facilities or at home.
