Advantages of the FX-Move™ device used in rehabilitation :
- Exercises originated from results of experimental researches and theoretical knowledge
- Playful and adapted exercises to optimise the care process
- A virtual immersion adapted to the need of postural control re-automation
- The presentation of a specific assessment to the patient (to increase motivation)
and the therapist (to measure progress patient)
The FX-Move™ device
FX-Move™ is a medical device dedicated to posturo-motor deficits and based on appropriate motor tasks accomplishment. This device assists the physical therapist in his work with interactive and fun exercises. The playful context allows to maintain patient motivation alive. Indeed, the patient is captivated by the game, and consequently may release his attention from the postural task associated with arm movements. Like this, he is able to re-automate his postural control during movement.
The FX-Move™ device offers a set of cognitive and motor stimulation practices, from the most motor to the most cognitive. The fine and accurate motion capture in real time allows an immediate feedback on patient performance. Scores are elaborated according to the first session performance. Using this virtual game, the patient becomes the main actor of his rehabilitation care. The results synthesis can be downloaded on the PC application, by exercise type and difficulty level. In this way, physical therapist can easily follow patient evolution.
Posturo-motor deficits care with FX-Move™
Focused on balance optimisation, the FX-Move™ apparatus is directly involved in fall prevention. It is oriented towards sedentarily-linked deficits of the elderly, both in the context of slow deterioration induced by a lack of stimulation and in the case of sudden deterioration. It is based on scientific works about the coordination between posture and movement mechanisms and motor prediction in the elderly. These studies originated from collaboration with the INSERM U887 Mobility-Plasticity research laboratory in the University of Burgundy. As an outcome of the confrontation between theoretical knowledge and clinical constraints, it is adapted to the needs and functional capacities of this aged population.
The motion analysis system allows a fine movement evaluation. Each exercise is based on therapeutic indications, and could be adjusted to the patient capacities through different difficulty levels. It is also possible to interact with optional devices, such as the force plate for posture-kinetic assessment. The therapeutic aim of this device is not only directed to the geriatric field, and could be extended to other domains, like neurology (strokes, Parkinson syndrome, cerebellar syndrome) or traumatology (shoulder rehabilitation, end of low back pain rehabilitation)
