HyperMED Protocols
go beyond
the 'conservative therapy' program a person would
normally receive as an in-patient or even attending
an out-patients program where the focus is on 'coping and adapting
to disability'. Most patients in the chronic phase of their
condition become stagnant in their recovery and virtually all
aspects of recovery and motivation fade.
HyperMED is
like a neuro-recovery boot camp; we make no apology for
'politely pushing the patient' - the objective is
to penetrate the deeper neurovascular structures, unlock
dormant pathways and promote functional changes.
The issue is not whether NeuroRecovery works or not -
the issue is to ensure the 'correct' protocol to impact
change!
HyperMED emphasizes
the principles of neuroplasticity – ‘the continuing capacity to
salvage back what have been damaged activating dormant and inactive
neurovascular structures’. For those suffering complex disability protocols are pivotal on 2-key
clinical applications:
1. Hyperbaric Oxygenation
(HBO) enriches available Oxygen into energy deprived (hypoxic) neurovascular
structures. HBO significantly elevates and mobilizes the patients own target specific
circulating stem cells (CD34+) enhancing immune responses. This catalyst effect
creates a platform for recovery enabling the body capacity to re-train, re-organize and re-learn function.
2. Lokomat
Robotic Gait
Training gives tremendous opportunity for
repetition and practice. Accuracy, repetition and practice drive
functional changes (corticospinal) fostering new connections and
improving patient conditioning even long after injury.
