患者的福音,医生的帮手

ICARE 的智能控制系统提供了一种既非总是辅助性,也非总是阻抗性的运动。它旨在提供一种“按需辅助”的方法,这类似于治疗师在为患者进行步态训练时提供的身体上和直觉上的辅助。

ICARE 将临床医生从费时费力的手动提举的工作中解放出来,同时改进了患者对于辅助技术的使用,从而改善了他们的行走和健身体验。

为何选择ICARE?

ICARE 系统的机动化控制设备装有一个传感器,可根据个人在训练中的需要自动调整支撑水平。个人可以使用 ICARE 代替专门的康复医院、医疗健身设施、门诊治疗健身房、疗养院、辅助生活设施和老年中心内所采用的昂贵的机器人步态设备。

此外,对于提供传统运动疗法的护理人员而言,ICARE 还可以减少他们可能承受的身体压力。

对于那些虚弱、肢体麻木或者存在平衡问题的患者以及刚刚从致残伤害或疾病中恢复过来的患者而言,重新学习行走和保持身体活动是重要的康复目标。为了恢复行走能力,需要通过数千次步进运动来获得持久的神经可塑性。由于缺乏能够适当满足受损肌肉需求的设备,这些患者往往面临着重重障碍。ICARE 就是为了解决这些障碍而诞生的。

ICARE 是一个完全集成的系统,由美国Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital and Research Institute(in Lincoln, Nebraska)研发,提供了一种安全、有效的方法来协助那些因中风、TBI、局部 SCI 以及其他损伤或疾病而引发神经肌肉障碍的患者。ICARE 的智能控制系统提供了一种既非总是辅助性,也非总是阻抗性的运动。它旨在提供一种“按需辅助”的方法,这类似于治疗师在为患者进行步态训练时提供的身体上和直觉上的辅助。ICARE 将临床医生从费时费力的手动提举和向前推进腿部的工作中解放出来,同时扩展了患者对于辅助技术的使用,从而改善了他们的行走和心脏血管康复体验。

ICARE 的腿部运动高度模仿行走的运动学和肌电图 (EMG) 模式。在开发研究的过程中注意到,ICARE 训练可以帮助个人恢复或保持行走所需的灵活性和力量,特别是当针对康复期的虚弱患者定制肌肉需求时更是如此。在开发期间的特别关注点是借助局部身体重量支撑和脚踏板的马达辅助,确保个人能获得适当的辅助水平,以完成所需的重复动作。

  • 向前和向后马达辅助允许速度高达每分钟 65 转
  • 自适应马达辅助会自动调整以适应患者的锻炼需要
  • 单腿或双腿训练选项可满足患者的各种需求
  • 带触控,可调步幅范围为 18 至 29 英寸(45 至 73 厘米)
  • 适用于全身锻炼的双动作运动
  • 接触式和遥测式心率监测
  • 遥控器方便临床医生在不介入的情况下进行调整
  • 密码控制允许用作独立的椭圆训练机
  • 红外安全系统关闭可以降低受伤的风险

在Brooks Rehabilitation,我们使用 ICARE 已有 2 年多的时间。它是我们使用率最高的设备之一。我们利用 ICARE 来治疗存在任何步态或平衡障碍的患者,无论其诊断结果如何;适用领域包括骨科、神经病学、老年医学、肥胖症治疗学以及儿科。患者和医护人员之所以喜欢使用 ICARE,是因为它提供多功能性并且易于设置。速度和跨距的可调性确保能针对每位患者及其具体需求来定制训练。此外,还有患者参与了我们的独立计划,他们来我们这里只是为了使用 ICARE 来保持他们的健康和生活质量。

医护人员喜欢使用它是因为我们可以提供更长时间的踏步训练,同时不太需要其他医护人员的协助,也减少了通过跑步机上的运动课程来锻炼肌肉的需求。它还提供了一种在安全环境下增加踏步的方法,以便我们可以处理功能性任务,例如伸手够物和躯干转动,与此同时小腿移动以提高动态平衡。医护人员和患者都喜欢 ICARE,主要是因为无论患者的功能水平如何,它都能提供一种方法来进行心血管锻炼,而其他机器都无法做到这一点。

我们有一位患有腰丛神经麻痹症的患者,在其医生的办公室内无法生成静态肌电图,但是以较高的速度使用 ICARE 时能够生成动态肌电图。使用 ICARE 进行数月的康复治疗后,该患者能跑、能与孩子玩耍而无需任何辅助器具。在采用这种恢复和干预疗法之前,他的预后是所有站立和行走动作都需要借助膝盖固定支架来完成。
总体而言,ICARE 是一种经济实惠的康复技术,可让任何临床医生进行高强度干预,并且适合于任何患者人群。

NextStep Orlando (前身为Project Walk Orlando)

Project Walk Orlando 的使命是为脊髓损伤的患者提供达到最高恢复潜力和提高生活质量的机会。我们的使命通过提供专业的一对一、前沿、积极和全面的训练计划来实现。ICARE 系统在帮助我们的客户和员工完成这一使命方面发挥了不可或缺的作用。

在客户的训练计划中每天都会使用 ICARE 系统,以提供强化心血管和步态训练的锻炼方法。从客户和员工的角度来看,ICARE 是我们健身房添置得很成功的一款产品,不仅能够高效设置,还让训练师能够确保客户处于舒适且安全的位置。客户能够在支持 SCI 训练的重复性运动科学的 ICARE 系统上走上数千步。除此之外,客户还能够利用反馈功能,如果他们移动椭圆机的速度比马达速度快的话,机器会让他们知道。在锻炼过程中,这项功能总是能让他们更加努力、并且更有动力。

PWO在就募集资金采购 ICARE 系统作出决定时,考虑到各种因素。其中包括该系统是否能够在降低训练师工作强度的同时,改善客户的康复效果、循环和功能。ICARE 可以向我们的客户提供 1000 步训练法,而这种训练通常需要多名训练师和助手才能完成,并且要耗费大量时间。

物理治疗师 Judith M. Burnfield 博士是麦当娜康复医院康复科学与工程研究所所长、运动与神经科学中心主任,以及物理治疗和运动科学中心主要负责人。获得University of Southern California 生物运动机能学博士学位,之后在Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center 的病理运动机能学实验室完成了博士后培训。在Creighton University、University of Nebraska – Lincoln、University of Nebraska Medical Center 和 University of South Dakota 兼任教职。

Burnfield 博士的研究目标是:1) 提高患有残疾和无残疾患者的独立性和生活质量,强调运动障碍,例如步态;2) 预防慢性病患者的继发性并发症;以及 3) 通过开发并应用临床创新和技术,拓展康复治疗师的能力,以满足现有的、不断演变的和未来的社会保健需求。她的教学重点包括正常和病理性步态、矫形学、修复学和生物力学。
