In Le Tampon, Reunion Island, a new technical platform for the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department (MPR) has been inaugurated. It is a high-tech equipment of more than 1170 m2 to take care of patients from the whole Indian Ocean area. <\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the PRM department of Le Tampon, patients come from all over the Indian Ocean: Reunion, Mayotte, Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles. The latter present different pathologies. Some suffer from hemiplegia, paraplegia or tetraplegia, cranial trauma, brain injuries, polytrauma. Others have Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, amputations and other conditions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This high-tech equipment should take care of patients with disabilities, polytrauma or disabling neurological diseases. Everything will be done to help them regain a certain degree of autonomy. The Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department (MPR) of Le Tampon has a high-performance technical platform.<\/p>\n The latter includes rails for suspension walking, but also a specific area for analysing walking. There is also a posturography (posture analysis) room with a stabilometry platform.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A group room for working on kinesthesia with the Xbox to regain balance completes this new equipment. In addition, a room with home automation equipment allows tetraplegics, for example, to carry out everyday activities. It can be eye control, head movement thanks to an infrared sensor on the forehead.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “The PRM department now has a new care tool of more than 1170 m2 […] already functional since October 2017, which optimizes the previous structure consisting of balneotherapy and fitting rooms.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n For several years now, connected objects have been making their way into the field of health: digital, connected, intelligent, 2.0 hospital… They are increasingly present, whether to monitor blood pressure or to participate in rehabilitation. Moreover, these high-tech medical services are also coming into the home. However, the pathologies that can be successfully treated by technological home medicalization meet three criteria:<\/p>\nPatients from all over the Indian Ocean region<\/h2>\n
