Vision 2012 - An Australian Initiative Working To Help Others
With the dawn of the 21st century the promise of robotics assisting in daily lives has never been greater. The medical field especially has truly begun to see the benefits robotics can bring to patients and their ability to recover. The promise unlocked by robotic therapies has the ability to revolutionize rehabilitative medicine.
HyperMED has been the first and currently is the only centre in Australia using Robotically Assisted LOKOMAT combined with Hyperbaric Oxygenation and other cutting edge strategies focused on outcomes.
NeuroRecovery - Repair and Restoration
The final frontier in the treatment of complex brain, spinal cord and neurovascular injury is focused on repair and functional restoration.
'Thinking outside of the therapeutic box' will observe the emergence of specific combination therapies that will ultimately impact the lives of those with complex disability.
What Are Some Of These Combinations?
Hyperbaric Oxygenation (HBOT) increases Oxygen availability diminishing the cascade effects of Hypoxic Induced Apoptosis; HBOT mobilizes the patients' own target specific neural stem cells (CD34+) whilst promoting a fertile neurovascular platform within the damaged and surrounding areas
Evidence supports that spinal cord and brain cell lesions can be bridged using transplanted tissues and patient derived bridging devices. In addition the use of patient derived autologous stem cells primed with neurotrophic growth factors can promote axonal sprouting, activation of idling and non-functional neurons
Intensive robotic training is required to activate dormant non functional and idling neural reflexes
Patients undertaking HyperMED NeuroRecovery Protocols will have greater opportunity to salvage back what is damaged, promote functional change and experience a better quality of life!
