Item Anwendungsgebiete der elektrotherapie in der ergotherapie(2006-02) Mangold, Sabine; Keller, Thierry; Tecnalia Research & InnovationAmong its many applications, electrotherapy is used in pain therapy, ion-therapy and for stimulating the motor system. In neuromuscular diseases it is used to build muscles and support voluntary movement through neuro-facilitation and the activation of muscle systems. This therapy also enables patients to carry out daily tasks with the aid of neuro-ortheses. In the case of peripheral lesions, it helps protect associated muscles from degeneration and keeps them in working order should reinnervation be successful.Item Greifen mit hilfe von neuroprothesen - Implantierbare und nicht-invasive systeme(2004-02) Mangold, Sabine; Keller, Thierry; Tecnalia Research & InnovationNeuroprostheses are used in patients suffering from tetraplegia and hemiplegia as grasping aids for mastering life tasks as well as in therapy for training voluntary movement. A variety of invasive and non-invasive systems have been developed. The selection of a suitable system for an individual or for a therapeutic practice can be made based on the description of the technical properties of the various neuroprostheses available.Item Greifen mit hilfe von neuroprothesen - Prinzip und voraussetzungen für den gebrauch(2003-08-01) Mangold, Sabine; Keller, Thierry; Tecnalia Research & InnovationBy means of electric impulse neuroprotheses bring paralysed muscles to contraction. In spite of less force generating, swifter fatigue and less muskular selection compared to "normal" function, patients with complete paralyse of extremities attain simple functions to grasp at something for activities of daily living. The usage requires determined physically traits (e.g. sufficient muscular effort), mentally firmness and support by people associated with the person concerned.
