How does therapy with Erigo® work? icon plus
Erigo® rehabilitation is usually carried out by physiotherapists. They begin by asking you to lie down on the Erigo® tilt table. After strapping you in, your physio will then move to a computer panel, from which they can control the tilt table. Depending on your treatment plan, your therapist will use the panel to gradually raise the table and move your legs. It can also be used to provide you with sensory motor stimulation.
The Erigo® aims to:
- increase cardiovascular stability allowing you to be placed in an upright position earlier
- promote muscle strengthening and standing tolerance
- prevent complications due to prolonged bed rest or immobility such as contractures, deconditioning and muscle stiffness
- improve patient alertness.

How to prepare for your session icon plus
Erigo® doesn't involve special preparation, however, you'll most likely be asked to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes. -
