| Counteract
the consequences of a lack of movement Daily movement plays an important role concerning the smooth running of many physical functions as well as the sense of well-being. One person walks an average of 4,000 to 6,000 steps a day – excluding additional sports. However, paralysis or general weakness reduce this level of daily movement to a minimum or makes it even impossible. |  | |||
 | | |||
| Circulatory problems, stiffness of the joints, shortened muscles, digestive problems, fluid build-up in the legs (oedema) and brittle bones (osteoporosis) can result. These often require unpleasant and expensive treatments such as medication or surgery which can have serious consequences. | ||
 | With
sufficient daily movement using a suitable therapeutic trainer it is possible
to counteract these problems. The MOTOmed enables this daily movement: Paralyzed or weak arms or legs are moved – forwards, backwards, from very slow to fast, either passively with the assistance of the motor or with residual muscle strength. | |||
