THE PERFECT TEAM -

THE THERAPIST AND THEIR ASSISTANT THE AMADEO®

Amadeo® is an effective instrument in supporting a patient in rehabilitation.
At the same time Amadeo® helps lighten the load of the therapist.

WORKING WITH AMADEO®

1. ADJUST INDIVIDUALLY

There are just as many different hands as there are people. Amadeo® adjusts to them as far as hand width, hand length and arm length is concerned.
The hand-arm supporting surface is positioned by the therapist and supports the weight of the upper and lower arm, as well as that of the hand during the therapy.

2. PASSIVE AND ACTIVE THERAPY

After the finger pads have been attached to the fingertips and the thumb, automated sequences of movements are carried out. Depending on the
cause of the neurological damage the patient can undergo either passive or active therapy. The patient‘s therapist designs a therapy process for each individual.

• CPM therapy – the passive hand is stimulated

• Active therapy – when finger or hand function begins again, training is adjusted to the individual limit of performance 

• Interactive therapy – active training in a virtual environment by carrying out various target-oriented tasks

 3. SPECIALIZED IN HANDS

Amadeo® moves the fingers and the thumb according to a certain pattern. The finger slides can transpose a flexion and extension movement to the fingers and thumb either individually one after the other or all together; each of these movements alternately or any of them at random are also possible. The limit of movement can be set for each individual finger; single fingers can be excluded altogether or limited. In this way the therapist can react optimally to each and every restriction a patient has.

4. MEASURE PROGRESS

Over biofeedback in real time the patient can follow the movement sequences acoustically and visually. Integrated sensors allow for recording and evaluation of the finger forces which occur. Therapy progress is made measurable and can be explained easily when discussing the effect of the therapy.
