The Thera-trainer is a very useful piece of technology to aid rehabilitation and maintenance of physical function in a variety of conditions including stroke, MS, brain injury, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, motor neurone disease, GBS, Cerebral palsy, orthopaedic injuries and general deconditioning due to prolonged illness.

FES allows muscles that have been paralysed or partially paralysed to move again. When using FES as a treatment, an electrical current is applied to the skin over a nerve, or over the bulk of a muscle, which causes the muscle to contract. We have an FES Arm and Leg Cycle which can be used to improve / maintain strength, fitness and muscle bulk and joint range of movement and reduce pain and spasticity.

The body naturally uses electrical currents to make muscles move. Normally, when a part of the body needs to move, the brain sends electrical signals through the nervous system. The nerves, acting like electrical wires, send these signals to the muscles, telling them to contract. This contraction causes the body part to move. We have a Portable FES Unit which can be used to retrain arm and leg muscles to work during functional tasks including walking, sit-to-stand, stepping up/down, reaching with arm and lifting hand to mouth

We are the only physiotherapy clinic in Wales to have a Saebo Rejoyce. The Saebo ReJoyce is an upper extremity rehabilitation workstation designed for patients with impaired function of the arm and hand. It consists of a handset on the end of an arm which is linked to a computer. The handset consists of 6 different grips which are manipulated to control a wide variety of task-oriented computer games. The difficulty of the games can be adjusted to the appropriate level for the patient and baseline measures and progress can be stored in the patient's electronic profile.
