Restorative Therapies, Inc is the world's leading developer of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) powered systems, designed to help people with neurological disorders achieve their full potential.
FES is a well-established rehabilitation technique that uses pulses of electrical current to stimulate peripheral nerves evoking muscle contractions and patterned muscle activity. With Restorative Therapies systems, FES creates patterned movement in arms, legs and trunk. FES enables muscles to work and perform activities even though the muscles may be weak or paralyzed through neurological disease or injury.
The RT300 FES cycle, RT200 FES seated elliptical, and RT600 stander/stepper use an ergometer combined with FES, allowing for active therapy of the arms and legs, essentially letting muscles do what they are meant to do.
An ergometer is a machine that allows an individual to perform a repetitive activity such as cycling or stepping. It guides the muscle activity evoked by FES into a useful pattern. Ergometers also measure the amount of work that muscles perform during an activity. We motorize our ergometers so they can automatically provide assistance or resistance throughout a therapy session as required by an individual.
Since its launch in 2005 over 30,000 adults and children have undertaken over 800,000 therapy sessions on the RT300. They included people with both complete and incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries, Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Brain Injury, Transverse Myelitis, Leukodystrophy and Spina Bifida.
Benefits vary from patient to patient but generally include reversal of muscle atrophy; improved local blood circulation; increased range of motion and reduced muscle spasms.
