How Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment Works

August 14, 2023

Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (C.A.R.E.N) is suitable for variety of patient groups such as patient with: back pain neuro, ortho, sports med, balance and gait (walking) disorders.

C.A.R.E.N’s provide unique treatment to patient via extraordinary features below :

Virtual Reality

The Virtual Reality techniques can be used to manipulate the information and therefore facilitate the learning process in both virtual environments and real environments.

Immersive Environment

The immersive environment enables the learning of new movement strategies and unlearning the poor movement strategies driven by pathology or compensation of thereof.

Movement Effect

Directing the performers attention to recovery.

Walking and Movement Parameters

All gait ( walking) and movement parameters which were only available before in research labs are
now available in C.A.R.E.N in real time for monitoring and intervention.

Below are 2 videos that demonstrate how C.A.R.E.N can treat variety of orthopedic illnesses: for example, amputation, arthristis, whiplash, osteoporosis, joint replacement, diabetic foot conditions, lumbar and cervical disc disease, foot/ankle/knee injuries.

In this instance, an athlete was originally diagnosed with minor quadriceps muscle strain and was treated for four weeks, with unsatisfactory results. When he came to our clinic, the muscle was not healing, and the patients’ muscle tissue had already begun to atrophy.

Upon examination using MSUS, we discovered that he had a full muscle thickness tear that had been overlooked by his previous provider. To mitigate damage and promote healing, surgery should have been performed immediately after the injury occurred. Because of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment, the patient now has permanent damage that cannot be corrected.

The most important advantage of Ultrasound over MRI imaging is its ability to zero in on the symptomatic region and obtain imaging, with active participation and feedback from the patient. Using dynamic MSUS, we can see what happens when patients contract their muscles, something that cannot be done with MRI. From a diagnostic perspective, this interaction is invaluable.
