UK first for neuro rehabilitation centre opening in Leeds
Sarah Daniel, centre owner and clinical director, said: “Rehabilitation is based around the ‘practice makes perfect’ adage: the more you do, the better you get. But this isn’t translating into current delivery models.
“Most rehabilitation programmes are delivered in short bursts, which simply isn’t enough time to complete the level of repetition needed to deliver the information the brain needs to ‘relearn’ movement.
“We know that neuroplasticity – the ability for your brain to essentially ‘rewire’ in response to learning – exists, and we’ve seen rehabilitation results improve significantly when exercises are repeated more frequently over longer periods of time: ideally several hours a day.”
She added: “Many people simply aren’t aware of how much progress it is possible to make with this ‘high repetition’ approach. We want to change that. We want to help more people access these benefits and get their lives back more quickly.
“We’re combining the skills and experience of our team with the very latest VR and robotic-assisted equipment to provide bespoke, high intensity rehabilitation programmes that will give the brain a better chance of re-learning following neurological illness or injury. We are the first facility in the country to be able to do this, and we’re very excited at the potential it offers for recovery.”
The MOTIONrehab centre is the first facility in the UK to offer open access to a set of devices designed to treat all aspects of arm and leg rehabilitation, using robotics and virtual reality.
