THE EFFECTIVENESS OF REHABILITATION THERAPY IN TYMO AND PABLO SYSTEMS

Cerebral palsy is one of the most common causes of children disability. According to sectoral statistics, cerebral palsy in Ukraine is 2.56 per 1,000 newborns. The development of new effective methods of physical rehabilitation for patients with cerebral palsy has a high relevance to the present. Tyromotion Company offers a comprehensive solution for the use of robotic and computerized therapeutic devices at the stages of rehabilitation — robotic devices for the correction of musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb Pablo and the functional stabilizer Tymo. In the children’s rehabilitation center named Borys Litvak of the Odessa Regional Charitable Fund for the rehabilitation of Disabled Children “Future” during 6 months an experimental testing of multifunctional systems was conducted. The goal was to analyze the dynamics of the results obtained during the remediation of these systems and to determine the effectiveness of Pablo and Tymo in the rehabilitation of patients. On the basis of the Center 112 patients aged 8–12 years old with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy of the 1st, 2nd level of motor disorders according to the International Classification of Large Motor Functions (GM FCS) received rehabilitation procedures. Training in systems was carried out 5 times per week for 2 weeks. Duration — 30 minutes. Conducting therapeutic procedures on the Pablo and Tymo simula tors showed great potential of these systems in the rehabilitation of patients with cerebral palsy. Positive dynamics was noted in 95 % of patients after the completion of procedures. It is necessary to continue monitoring the effectiveness of the rehabilitation process at Pablo and Tymo for further study and analysis.
