Brooks Rehabilitation 引進 ICARE 已經 2 年多了。這是我們中心使用率最高的器材之一。我們使用 ICARE 治療任何步態或平衡機能受損的患者，無論其診斷結果為何；適用領域包括骨科、神經病學、老年醫學、肥胖病學，以及兒科。我們的病患和員工都樂於使用 ICARE，因為它的功能相當豐富，且設定也非常容易。它可調整的速度及跨距也同時確保了所有的訓練都能配合每個病患的需求進行調整。有的病患參與了我們的獨立計劃，他們來我們中心只是為了使用 ICARE 來保持健康，並維持生活品質。

使用 ICARE 的員工都相當高興，因為藉由使用 ICARE，我們可需要的員工協助較少，在跑步機上花費時間也較短，為我們的病患提供更長的踏步時間。它同時也提供了一種可在安全環境下增加踏步時間的功能，使得我們可以在進行較為功能性的作業，例如伸展或旋轉身軀時，讓下肢持續運動以增加動態平衡。員工和病患都非常喜歡 ICARE，主要是因為無論病患的功能水平如何，它都能提供別的機器無法提供的心血管鍛鍊。

我們曾經有位罹患腰叢麻痺症的患者，無法在他主治醫師的辦公室裡產生靜態的肌電圖。然而當他以較高的速度使用 ICARE 時，就能產生動態的肌電圖。在持續使用 ICARE 進行復健幾個月後，該名病患已經可以在不使用任何輔助裝置的情況下跑步，並與孩子一同玩耍了。在這項發現及機器的介入之前，他原本預期未來都必須要倚賴膝蓋支架，才能站立及行走。

整體而言，ICARE 是一套價格相當實惠的復健科技產品，能讓任何臨床治療師為任何病患設計一套高強度的復健計畫。

執行董事
NextStep Orlando (前名為 Project Walk Orlando)

Project Walk Orlando 的使命是讓脊髓損傷的患者，擁有發揮最大復原潛力的機會，並改善他們的生活品質。我們藉由擬定專業的一對一、尖端、積極且全面的運動計畫，達成我們的使命。ICARE 系統在協助我們的客戶和員工達成這個使命的過程中，扮演了不可或缺的重要角色。

我們在客戶的運動計劃中，每天都會使用 ICARE 系統來進行高強度的心血管及步態訓練運動。從客戶及員工的角度而言，ICARE 對於我們的設施來說是一項成功的投資，因為不僅是設定過程相當有效率，訓練師也能確保客戶以舒適且安全的姿勢，進行一切活動。客戶可以在支援脊髓損傷訓練之重複性運動科學的 ICARE 系統上，完成上千次的踩踏動作。除此之外，客戶也能利用回饋功能，如果他們移動橢圓機的速度超過馬達的速度，機器會讓他們知道。在鍛鍊過程中，這項功能總是能讓他們更加努力，並且更有動力。

我們在決定為 PWO 募款並購買 ICARE 系統前考慮了許多因素。這些因素包括系統在減少訓練師人力付出的情況下，改善客戶健康、循環，以及機能的能力。而 ICARE 可以讓我們的客戶進行原先可能需要多名訓練師、助理及耗費龐大時間的上千個步態訓練。
