Based on the latest findings from Parkinson's research, RECK Medizintechnik developed the MOTOmed movement therapy for Parkinson's patients together with a research group from the USA. The use of special components enables motor-assisted leg movements, similar to healthy cycling, of up to 90 rpm. This allows the MOTOmed viva2 Parkinson to apply the new therapy method „Forced Exercise“. The fast, forced and guided movements can help reduce tremor (muscle trembling), improve walking ability and carry out everyday movements in a purposeful way again. A special training programme, which can be individually adapted as required, ensures a simple and effective course for every training session. In this way, people affected by Parkinson's can use the „Forced Exercise“ Parkinson's therapy easily and daily at home. Besides the leg trainer, the MOTOmed viva2 Parkinson is also available as a combination model for leg and arm/upper-body training. The MOTOmed arm/upper-body trainer can be swivelled into and out of the training area. Arm and upper-body training specifically strengthens the arm, upper-body and shoulder muscles and supports the accessory breathing muscles. The MOTOmed viva2 Parkinson comes with a chip-card reader as standard and therefore already meets the requirement for the sam2 training analysis and evaluation programme. This special programme gives you the option of storing and evaluating training data over the long term.
Much like a bicycle with an auxiliary motor, the MOTOmed ServoPedalling function supports the user in performing their active movement. The function enables the person training to carry out active movement even with the smallest amount of their own strength. Residual muscle strength can be detected and built up without overtaxing effort.
All MOTOmed models give the user a wide range of training feedback. Training values such as duration, distance, symmetry, total output, tone, the average and maximum active output as well as the active and passive share of training can be read on the screen both in real time during training and as an overall evaluation afterwards.
The symmetry training function shows its beneficial effect when the goal is to specifically strengthen the weaker side. The way the function is displayed varies depending on the model. On the MOTOmed viva2 models, a two-bar diagram shows the user how much of their applied strength comes from the left or right side of the body. Based on this graphic display, the user can specifically engage their „weaker“ side during training. Symmetry training helps prevent overloading of the healthy limbs.
If a muscle cramp, spasm or movement blockage (freezing) occurs during training, this function stops the pedal movement. It makes no difference how the baseline muscle tension changes: movement protection is not constant but automatically adapts to every change. As a result, it always stays optimally sensitive. This function is implemented in all MOTOmed models through sensitive sensor technology.
Users navigate the MOTOmed colour screen (5.7-inch diagonal) intuitively, because the next possible operating step is always shown in „green“. Tactile (slightly raised), large buttons make operation especially easy. The large display of training information ensures good readability.
The entry-aid function makes it easier to place the feet into the foot shells before starting training. Using a button on the control unit, the user can move the foot shells continuously into the right position.
