After a trauma suffered, medical and rehabilitative gymnastics becomes essential for returning to good health.
We are talking about a type of gymnastics that must be carried out in the presence of qualified personnel,who will propose particular exercises in order to allow the affected limbs to return to their best functioning.
These are mainly muscle contraction and stretching exercises.
For the correct carrying out of medical gymnastics practices it is necessary to have a whole series of equipmentrehabilitation physiotherapy.
Let's see what the main ones are and what role they play.
Rehabilitative medical gymnastics: why it is important to have the right equipment
Being followed in a course of rehabilitative medical gymnastics by a physiotherapist involves consistently carrying out a wholeseries of movement exercises, segmental and typically more complex than those that normal joint physiology requires.
In fact there are many movements that a body can make in the physiotherapy field,starting from particularly common operations such as walking or climbing stairs.
The role of the physiotherapist is to guide all these movements, which can be stretching or contraction, respecting the pathologies from which the patient suffers in the musculoskeletal area,also and above all following a traumatic event such as an accident.
Medical gymnastics, beyond a correct return to motor function, also brings great benefits to patients suffering from respiratory or circulatory problems,or dystrophies such as osteoporosis and even paralysis due to thrombosis or hemorrhages.
As regards the actual articulations,Very common types of medical gymnastics are postural and corrective.
For this type of rehabilitative gymnastics, the use of devices such as orthopedic braces such as for example cervical collars,knee pads or abdominal bands.
The postural gymnastics works in particular on morphological imbalances, identifying and correcting incorrect muscular tensions that alter body symmetry.These are specific exercises aimed at making muscles that have not worked properly work, to restore their elasticity and correct movements for the whole organism.
The rehabilitative gymnastics can also be useful not only for treating any traumas or consolidating the work done to recover from them,but also with a view to prevention.
For example, there are various exercises that allow you to avoid pathologies caused by bad posture and in general by incorrect behavioral habits, which in the long term can cause problems in the form of inflammation,tension and pain in some areas of the body.
On the other hand, post-traumatic rehabilitative gymnastics is fundamental, to allow a return to perfect use of the injured limb, in terms of joint mobility and muscle tone.
There are many types of medical gymnastics,which require the use of particular equipment.
Let's now focus on some fundamental devices for the rehabilitation of the hand and limbs.
Equipment for hand rehabilitation
There are very simple pieces of equipment on the market that promote the rehabilitation of the hand after aintervention.
For example, a silicone egg, which allows the hand muscles to work both separately and simultaneously.
This hand rehabilitation ball, made of Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE), has different levels of hardness to exercise the hand and fingers,improving grip strength while reducing fatigue.
It is particularly suitable for post-traumatic/post-operative rehabilitation of the hand and arm, favoring the restoration of the function of the hand and arm after, for example, a stroke, but also to reduce pain and arthritic stiffness of the fingers,of the hands and wrists.
Or a set of three finger exercisers with a perfect design for finger rehabilitation.
The fingers must be inserted into the appropriate spaces to stretch them, thus relieving the user's fatigue.The three pieces of the set offer a light, medium and high level of resistance depending on your needs.
Another very useful tool for the rehabilitation of hands and fingers is the Power Grip, capable of improving the strength, coordination and flexibility of the fingers, and consequently of the entire hand,of the wrist and forearm.Pressing this device consistently helps greatly in recovery following finger injuries.
Equipment for limb rehabilitation
Some useful devices for the rehabilitation of limbs are also very effective,whether they are legs or arms.
Among the tools for leg rehabilitation, the Basic pedal exerciser by Gima is decidedly effective, a compact pedal that simulates in every way exercises that are normally performed on an exercise bike.Constant pedaling stimulates blood circulation, strengthening the muscles, for moderate cardiovascular training exercises.It can be used both while seated and with the pedal set placed on a table in order to perform the same arm exercises.
These rehabilitation pedals are really space-saving and are supplied with a practical assembly kit,with the tension being adjustable via a knob.
For correct rehabilitation of arms and legs we also recommend the use of an elastic band: a device that allows you to improve the strength of the muscles of both the lower and upper limbs.
There are different colors related todifferent resistance levels and different lengths.Despite being latex-free, therefore hypoallergenic, this rehabilitation elastic guarantees the same performance as a traditional band.
Finally,the mat with holes with foam sponge structure provides great comfort as a support while performing particular medical gymnastics exercises.The holes also allow you to attach the mat to a wall or a bar.
