Product Information

For those who find it difficult to attend rehabilitation clinics for hemiplegia due to limited training time

◆◆◆ Power Assist Series Product Introduction ◆◆◆

What is the Power Assist Series?

The Power Assist series is a rehabilitation assist device that moves the joints of people who have been left paralyzed due to cerebrovascular disease, spinal cord injury, etc. By sending air into an air bag called a bellows, which expands and contracts, the device performs passive and rhythmic repeated movements to continuously flex and extend the joints.
Individuals use it as a rehabilitation aid at home after being discharged from the hospital, and in facilities, it is used as a self-help tool for maintaining finger muscle strength and grasping objects, in addition to range of motion training. Recent evidence has highlighted the reproduction of behavioral patterns in the brain through repeated movements . It is recommended that rehabilitation be started as soon as possible for patients with neurological problems or after orthopedic surgery.

There are three types in the Power Assist series.

・Rehands: Power Assist Hand for hand and finger rehabilitation! (My Reha)

・Rewrist : Power Assist Wrist For wrist rehabilitation!

・Relegs: Power Assist Legs for ankle rehabilitation!

◆◆◆ Features of the Power Assist Series ◆◆◆

Features

-1. Safety and security

Safety is the number one requirement for welfare products, so we used a low-pressure pump and an inflation/deflation system that pumps air into and out of the pelool to prevent excessive force from being applied.

Features

-2. Easy to install and operate

The palm side has been cut out to make attachment and removal easier. The reduced friction makes it comfortable to wear. It also has simple operations limited to "opening" and "closing," making it easy for anyone to use. The leg support can be easily attached by simply placing your foot on the foot rest, then covering the top of your foot with the Velcro, making it easy to attach even to contracted feet.

-3. Gentle fit

To improve the comfort and fit of the gloves, various sizes are available for children to adults, with careful attention paid to materials and sizes, and the palm side is open, allowing you to feel the sensation on your skin and achieve the ability to "grasp." The legs are made of the same material as the gloves, so they fit well, and the heel height when placed on them can be adjusted using spacers made of the same material.

-4. Respond flexibly to symptoms

It can be adjusted to suit the situation, such as for people with stiff fingers or stiff joints. Just like the hands, the feet can also be adjusted to suit the situation.

Fingers and ankles left behind by hemiplegia from a stroke are prone to flexion contracture due to spastic paralysis, and early and continuous repetitive range-of-motion training is important to relieve stiffness and prevent contracture. The Power Assist Series, developed in collaboration with LAP Co., Ltd., uses air to gently move paralyzed joints, helping to relieve muscle tension, prevent contracture, and reduce edema. It is a rehabilitation training aid that supports repetitive training that is difficult to continue. Continued use improves attention to paralyzed fingers and ankles, increasing voluntary movement, and hopefully contributing to the development of precise movements and brain activation.
