Advanced neurological rehabilitation technology
State-of-the-art innovation to support your rehabilitation
Rehabilitation therapy designed with you in mind
At The Wellington Hospital’s acute rehabilitation centre, we’re committed to giving you access to the latest technologies to support your recovery. One aspect of this is ensuring each therapy session is equipped with the best tools available. Another is our highly experienced therapists expertly integrating these technologies into personalised rehabilitation programmes.
Take our patient-focused, therapist-designed, specialist gym. It’s equipped with the latest tools and equipment, all thoroughly evaluated and skilfully utilised to ensure the best outcomes for each patient.
Below are some of the cutting-edge technologies you’ll have access to at The Wellington Hospital:
Lokomat™
An advanced robotic treadmill, Lokomat is designed for patients with severe neurological impairments. They get the experience of walking while their body weight is fully supported, allowing them to push their boundaries safely.
Indego® exoskeleton
This highly advanced movement support system fits around the waist and legs, enhancing the rehabilitation of patients with complex spinal injuries. Our spinal specialists use the Indego® exoskeleton to intensify recovery efforts and improve mobility in a safe and controlled manner.Erigo®
The Erigo system is a tilt table combined with a stepping device that allows patients to start their rehabilitation earlier. It helps paralysed or bed-bound patients move incrementally to an upright position, using cyclic leg movements to help stimulate and mobilise the body.Armeo Spring®
The Armeo Spring helps patients regain a greater range of movement by providing weight support for an impaired or injured arm. The system helps patients reach their mobility goals, by encouraging more precise movement patterns.
Footscan® force platform and Baiobit® sensor technology
Enables accurate and detailed assessment of patients gait. This technology is integrated within our Gait Clinic service which enables targeted prescription of Orthotics and functional electrical stimulation devices such as the FESIA walk. Patients are able to trial these devices, gain real time feedback and see first-hand how these devices and/or orthotics may aid their walking and balance.
Hydrotherapy
Our heated hydrotherapy pool at The Wellington Hospital is used to for water-based exercises that provide vital pain relief and improve circulation while gently supporting mobility. This therapy is beneficial for a range of conditions and promotes healing in a soothing environment.
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) cycle
The FES bike is a crucial tool for stimulating movement in paralysed muscles, using small electrical pulses to activate motor neurons. This system is ideal for patients with complex orthopaedic and neurological conditions.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication and Environmental Controls
For patients needing support with communication and accessing their environment we have a specialist team to assess and support. Assessments include a variety of low tech and high-tech tools (communication books, communication programmes and apps) with a range of access methods (such as switches, eye gaze). We work closely with leading technology companies to ensure that communication systems are best suited and adapted to our patients, maximising their ability to communicate with those around them, as well as accessing their environment.
