& Group therapy

Break the cycle of physical inactivity

Ageing population is a challenge for healthcare systems. Collectively, we need to find solutions to develop intensive and diversified care pathways.

Furthermore, with current resources and organisations, it is becoming increasingly difficult to meet international guidelines in terms of rehabilitation intensity and frequency especially in neurorehabilitation:

  • The World Stroke Organisation recommends 3 hours of rehabilitation per day after a stroke.
  • According to Barrett et al. (2018), prolonged inactivity periods reach 5.3 hours on weekdays and 6.8 hours during weekends.

These periods maintain deconditioning effects that affect patients’ recovery. Studies show that increasing activity time for patient is an essential factor in the functional recovery and autonomy maintenance.

During weekdays

Leisure: 18%
Daily life activities: 13%
Sleep: 40%
Rest: 22%

Physical therapy: 7%

During weekends

Leisure: 27%
Daily life activities: 11%

Sleep: 41%
Rest: 21%

Our vision
The SRT Lab

Based on the previous observation, it is therefore essential to involve patients in their rehabilitation. Therapists and relatives should also motivate them to increase the amount of daily activity.

Integrating a SRT Lab into the care pathway helps to reduce inactivity time and makes the patient actor in his or her own rehabilitation.
It consolidates and improves motor recovery, in addition to conventional therapy. Thanks to this innovative approach, risk of physical condition loss and autonomy loss are limited.

The therapists remain essential and guide the patient towards exercises adapted to their recovery stage.

A rich and open space
to make patients actors in their rehabilitation

In autonomy

The patient can come in autonomy alone, with other patients or with their family and caregivers.

Group therapy

The space can also be used for supervised group therapy with multiple patients.

SRT | Self-Rehabilitation Technology

SRT stimulates the patient in a fun and intuitive way, using one or more spheres manipulated with one or both hands.
These devices can be used outside of conventional rehabilitation sessions:

  • In a self-rehabilitation space
  • In supervised group therapy

The patient focuses on performing and repeating the movement through cognitive and motor activities.

Ultra-intuitive, SRT devices are accessible to both children and the elderly, in a sitting or standing position.

The patient’s actions are transcribed in real time on the screen.

The patient can perform various activities uni- or bimanually, alone, with other patients, or with relatives. Many cognitie and motor activities are already available to keep the patients motivated and involved in their rehabilitation.

“I find this device has the advantage of being very fun, so we don’t ask any questions, we just go for it.
It forces us to make simple movements.
I’ll try all the different devices to maximize my chances.”

“It’s accessible to everyone. It’s really great. I don’t have a TV in my room, so it’s a nice alternative to staying locked in your room.”

Complementary
technologies

The SRT Lab is inclusive for all kind of patients: neurology, orthopaedics, geriatrics, paediatrics, etc.

All SRT devices offer common exercises in order to adapt work to patients’ motor recovery, or in order to work on the same activity but in a different way.

Cognitive-motor activities are adapted to each device. Exclusive activities are also developed in order to diversify training possibilities.

By practising in the guided self-rehabilitation lab, patients develop :

  • balance in standing position
  • double-task, especially on SRT2 and SRT6, with screen and random spheres management

Frequent activity (even for a short time) is important for recovery and recommended by international guidelines.

Why set up a SRT Lab?

1. Preventing the harmful effects of prolonged inactivity.

2. A rich environment based on cognitive and playful activities to stimulate
the patient and increase physical activity.

3. High level of clinical evidence on self-rehabilitation approach.

4. Ultra-intuitive and easy for all patients.

5. Intensive rehabilitation to encourage movement repetition.

6. Bimanual or unimanual motor training to constrain the use of the impaired limb.

7. Safe, seated or standing position.

8. Real-time adjustment of difficulty level according to patient recovery.

9. Performance monitoring
(activity time, number of movements, etc.).

10. Activities can be performed alone, with relatives or during group therapy session.
