Each child is a treasure of a newborn family and the hope for the future life of this family. But fate is always unfair, life is impermanent, and there are a group of special "little angels" who are different from other children from birth, they may have difficulty walking, may have communication difficulties, or cannot take care of themselves, so that these "little angels" who should fly freely in the sky have broken their wings. They are one group around us - children with cerebral palsy!
What is cerebral palsy?
Cerebral palsy (CP), abbreviated as cerebral palsy, is a clinical syndrome caused by non-progressive brain injury and developmental defects from conception to infancy. It is mainly manifested as movement disorders and posture abnormalities, which can be accompanied by different degrees of mental retardation, psychological and behavioral abnormalities, perceptual disorders and other functional abnormalities, which is one of the main diseases causing physical motor disability in children.
According to survey data, the incidence of cerebral palsy in children aged 0-6 in mainland China is 2.48%, and the annual growth rate is 50,000 plus. With the advancement of prenatal examination, perinatal medicine, and neonatal rescue technology, the survival rate of many fetuses with high-risk factors such as preterm birth and low weight has increased, which has led to an increase in the prevalence of cerebral palsy nationwide. At the same time, more newborns have become children with cerebral palsy, unable to carry out normal life, study, and even basic walking ability. Although the incidence of cerebral palsy is 1.1 per thousand to 4.9 per thousand, on the surface it is only a small thousandth, so small that it is negligible, but it falls on the head of every family is 100%. The process of growing up is even more difficult, and the burden on the family is heavy.
Therefore, improving the child's walking ability and allowing the child to have basic life ability is one of the problems that needs to be solved in the recovery of the child. The solution is to enhance limb function through exercise, restore walking ability, get rid of the effects of disease, and improve quality of life.
So the question arises: how to do the right walking training for children?
The answer: assisted walking trainers.
First of all, we understand what are the training contents of traditional rehabilitation hospitals and institutions: parallel bar walking training, hip walking training, chest broadband practice walking, step training, etc., these training methods are often limited to the rehabilitation of lower limb function, and it is difficult to organically combine weight-bearing, step and balance in training to achieve real walking. In traditional rehabilitation training, one-on-one training by therapists or parents is required, which is intense and the effect cannot be sustained and stable.
The assisted walking trainer can effectively avoid the above problems and help the child establish the correct walking pattern during training. Make it safer, more convenient and more comfortable.
Assisted walking trainers work as devices that use exoskeleton technology to assist the human body in supporting weight, maintaining balance, and walking. It has the function of correcting the three joints of hip, knee and ankle, which can effectively prevent abnormal gait during walking. It is suitable for periodic rehabilitation training for children with walking disorders such as cerebral palsy and motor retardation.
Its features are:
1. Simple exoskeleton: improve abnormal gait caused by walking dysfunction
2. Assisted standing: under the action of exoskeleton, standardize children's standing posture and improve posture abnormalities
3. Multi-part protective gear: including chest, waist, hip, legs; At the same time, it has a weight-reducing function to increase walking stability and safety
4. Gait training: (1) maintain normal posture and relieve abnormal muscle tone; (2) Repeated voluntary movement training of lower limbs to increase the range of motion of joints; (3) Enhance the muscle strength of the lower limbs and correct the biological force lines of the lower limbs; (4) Corrective gait: inhibit involuntary movements and strengthen normal movement patterns.
The assisted walking trainer has the following seven highlights:
1 adjustable handle
2. Leg length adjustment
3. Knee flexion adjustment
4. Anti-rear casters
5. Hip joint size adjustment
6. Crotch height adjustment
7. The torso supports up and down adjustment
In order to meet the needs of different children and their treatment options at different times, we have also upgraded two products, Z-II. and Z-III.
Z-II product functions added: boot reminder, voice broadcast function, timing function, real-time monitoring, sports data statistics function, computer sleep mode function, but also added some fun and intelligence, increase children's interest, let them do training happier and more engaged.
The Z-III product, also known as the assisted walking training and evaluation system, has more functions. The system uses non-perceptible micro-posture sensing technology, only need to wear the sensor insole to walk to start the test, the test process only takes one minute, the gait test is no longer limited by the venue, anytime, anywhere and even in the home environment can be carried out rehabilitation assessment, massive gait database, provide normal reference values for different ages, mobilize patients to actively participate in training; Equipped with a printer, it can output evaluation and training reports with one click. Convenient for doctors to judge.
In addition to the phased gait assessment, the extension function can also analyze the data and adjust the training mode and intensity in a timely manner, increase the effectiveness of training, and help children recover as soon as possible.
Up to now, some children have started training on the way to rebirth "wings" and the effect is remarkable. Welcome to experience!
