Abstract

With the advancement of technology, the effect of auxiliary machines used in rehabilitation is gradually increasing both in the evaluation stage and the rehabilitation stage of the treatment. The important feature of such devices is that they perform both assessment and treatment with the same device. At this stage, TecnoBody (Bergamo, Italy) devices play an active role in both assessment and rehabilitation. In this study, the effectiveness of TecnoBody devices, D-Wall, Walker View 3.0 SCX, and ProKin devices in rehabilitation was analyzed. It is reported in the literature that recently TecnoBody devices have been used significantly in evaluation, proprioceptive and stability tests have been performed with ProKin devices, and balance tests have been performed with the D-Wall device. The D-Wall device was found to be effective in therapies due to its use in rehabilitation, exergame, and biofeedback. It is observed that the Walker View 3.0 SCX device is effective in gait analysis evaluation and gait rehabilitation after surgery, while ProKin devices are effective primarily in proprioceptive, stability, and balance evaluations and then in balance and proprioceptive training. The use of TecnoBody devices in rehabilitation increases the active participation of people in therapy thanks to the visual biofeedback it applies to people, it is effective thanks to the fact that people can direct themselves during exercise and make therapy more fun with games. In addition, thanks to the personalized exercises in the D-Wall device, there are effective exercises to increase the participation of people in daily life activities, especially in neurological rehabilitation. Therefore, the use of TecnoBody devices in rehabilitation is effective.

Rehabilitasyonda TecnoBody Cihazlarının Etkinliğinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Rehabilitasyonda kullanılan, yardımcı makinelerin, teknoloji ilerlemesi ile tedavinin hem değerlendirme aşamasında hem de rehabilitasyon aşamasında etkisi giderek artmaktadır. Bu tür cihazları önemli özelliği ise hem değerlendirmeyi hem de tedaviyi aynı cihazla yapmaktadır. Bu aşamada TecnoBody (Bergamo, İtalya) cihazları, hem değerlendirmede hem de rehabilitasyonda aktif rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalışmada TecnoBody cihazlarından, D-Wall Elite, Walker View 3.0 SCX ve ProKin cihazlarının rehabilitasyonda etkinliği incelenmiştir. Literatürde, son zamanlarda TecnoBody cihazları değerlendirmede önemli ölçüde kullanıldığı, ProKin cihazları ile proprioseptif ve stabilite testlerinin uygulandığı ve D-Wall cihazı ile denge testleri yapıldığı bildirilmektedir. D-Wall cihazının rehabilitasyonda, exergame ve biofeedback olarak kullanılması sonucu terapilerde etkili olduğu görülmektedir. Walker View 3.0 SCX cihazının ise cerrahi sonrasında kişileri yürüme analizi değerlendirmesinde ve yürüme rehabilitasyonlarında etkili olduğu, ProKin cihazlarının ise öncelikle proprioseptif, stabilite ve denge değerlendirmelerinde ve sonrasında denge ve proprioseptif eğitimlerde etkisinin olduğu görülmektedir. TecnoBody cihazlarının rehabilitasyonda kullanılması, kişilere uyguladığı vizüel biofeedback sayesinde kişileri terapiye aktif katılımını arttırmakta, kişilerin egzersiz sırasında kendilerini yönlendirmesi ve oyunlarla terapiyi daha eğlenceli hale getirmesi sayesinde etkili olmaktadır. Ayrıca D-Wall cihazında kişiselleştirilmiş egzersizler sayesinde özellikle nörolojik rehabilitasyonda kişileri günlük yaşam aktivite katılımlarını arttırmak için etkili egzersizler bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenle TecnoBody cihazlarının rehabilitasyonda kullanımı etkilidir.
