New RehaCom Price List

We published a new Price list and Order form for RehaCom software. RehaCom is Europe's leading software for cognitive rehabilitation having developed over more than 15 years in Germany.  The aim of the software is not to replace the skills of a therapist but rather to help guide and give structure to a rehabiltiation programme.  It's been slow to catch on in the UK but more and more therapists are seeing RehaCom as a valuable tool in their practice.

Dan Eley's Ride Raises Funds for Spinal Research

Client Dan Eley broke his neck in a diving accident, whilst working in Colombia.  Dan was injured when he dived in to a deceptively shallow river in the Amazon, breaking his neck at the C4/C5 level.

I wrote before about Dan when I first met him during his stay in Stoke Mandeville at which point he became a client of our RehaMove FES Cycle.

At the point that I met him, Dan was recovering from his injuries.  Things were complicated by the fact that he was injured so far from civilisation and it took some time before he could get the benefit of essential (even adequate) health care. 

Despite the difficulties he had come through, I found Dan to be an irrepressable character - not to be detered in his ambition to make a difference in the lives of others.

Since leaving hospital Dan returned to Columbia and has shown he has lost non of his drive and ambition.

It was no suprise therefore to learn of his latest fundraising effort.

On 9th January 2012, Dan began his challenge to cycle 550 miles using his RehaMove FES bike, which uses electric stimulation to contract the major muscles groups in the legs, the quads, the hamstrings and the gluteus muscles - and stimulates these muscles in a sequence that creates a cycling motion.

RehaStim 2 unit enhances RehaMove FES Bike

I know I'm biased but the RehaMove FES Bike is the best value solution out there.  I have complained to the manufacturers about the looks (a bit retro 70's) but the performance has been as good as any other system.

Anyway, we at Anatomical Concepts are looking forward to the new RehaStim 2 unit which we hope to be able to supply from this month.  Colour graphics, improved useability through a large display and real-time performance monitoring are really nice further improvements to the benefits of RehaStim 1.  The tried and trusted Rehastim 1 will continue to be available.

With the RehaStim 2 - Via a rotary knob, the existing eight stimulation channels are assigned and defined with corresponding parameters. On the large color display the user can navigate easily.

Color-coded channels for each muscle make it even easier and faster to applicate the electrodes. In the extended memory, over 100 patients combined with their training settings can be stored and the respective course of therapy can be saved.
