Erigo Pro Patient Mobilization for Early Rehab Clinics

The system enables early and safe mobilization, already in acute care.

Conventional tilt table therapy is a standard treatment procedure in intensive care therapy and is used for early mobilization of neurological patients with sensorimotor impairments. It is also intended to gradually accustom the legs to bear the patient's weight.

Another treatment goal is to establish a physiological step pattern as soon as possible after the incident to promote neuroplasticity and functional health. Consequential damage such as contractures and muscle atrophy should be prevented by an early physiological step pattern.

Erigo Training combines both treatments through a gradual verticalization (0-90°) and the simultaneous use of continuous step-like movements, providing the patient's legs with a variety of movements and loads.

Mobilization of severely impaired patients is very labor intensive.

Primary Targets

• Improvement of cardiovascular stability especially during verticalization.

Secondary targets

• Faster motor rehabilitation through intensive sensorimotor stimulation
• Passive: Triggering the afferent pathways
• Active-assistive: movement training, gait therapy preparation.
• Prevention of complications due to immobilization and loss of mobility (e.g., thrombosis, muscle atrophy, contractures, pressure ulcers).
• Maintain or improve range of motion
• Increase the level of alertness

Training with the Erigo is possible with neurological, traumatic, cardiovascular, and and postoperative Patients indicated.

To the neurological disorders include:

• Stroke
• Spinal cord injury (SCI)
• Traumatic brain injury (SHT)

The Erigo can even be used in the following clinical situations usually associated with diminished therapeutic options:

• Permanent urinary catheters
• Severe spasticity (Modified Ashworth Scale 3, considerable increase in tone - resistance to passive movement).
• Restricted lung function (e.g. artificial respiration)
• Patients with impaired consciousness (e.g., no head/torso control).
• Pediatric patients
