NeuroProsthetics
NeuroProsthetics are devices that interact with and control the nervous system. They are designed to reproduce or substitute for neurological and physiological function that has been lost to injury or disease. Wearable electrical stimulation systems deliver impulses to peripheral nerves. They induce a variety of beneficial effects, including muscle building, relaxation of spastic muscle, improvement of blood circulation, reduction of joint contractures and alleviation of pain. NeuroProsthetics improve function in a way that is “physiological”. …show more content…
The fateful moment left him paralyzed and unable to stand or walk. Though a devastating injury, to Jimmy, this was just another mountain to conquer. That sort of tenacity led him to undertake highly aggressive physical therapy at the Neuro Institute in Tempe. It was there that he was introduced to Wearable Therapy. Initially, Jimmy had very little strength in his legs. He was able to begin walking with long-leg braces... his knees and ankles locked. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a start. Muscle stimulation was initiated simultaneously with therapy, 1-2 times a week. The muscle stim exercises resulted in increased muscle strength, which facilitated walking with unlocked knees and ankles. Jimmy was fitted with the Wearable Therapy System for effective transition to his home exercise program. Use of his system, 4-5 times per week, has greatly accelerated his progress. Jimmy has made significant gains toward getting back on his feet. He’s walking ambitiously and focusing on his target. It’s obvious who’s in …show more content…
The course will teach the fundamentals of electrical stimulation and how electricity interacts with human physiology. You will be taught how muscle contracts when subjected to electrical impulses and how you can adjust stimulation patterns and parameters to achieve desirable effects on muscle. You will learn how to apply this knowledge to neurological conditions such as spinal cord and stroke to achieve both therapeutic and functional outcomes. The course will teach the fundamentals of pain and pain
