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

Patients from all over the Indian Ocean region<\/h2>\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

High tech in the service of care<\/h2>\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

Working on kinesthesia with the Xbox<\/h2>\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

“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

The future of medical high tech…at home?<\/h2>\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>\n

    \n
  1. Are chronic and last for several years (rather than a few days or months);<\/li>\n
  2. Can be prevented or treated by protocols that are easy to follow and reproduce. People outside the medical profession would be able to do the right thing;<\/li>\n
  3. Are not intensive in nature (do not require 24-hour human attention or supervision).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Thus, among the pathologies that can benefit from this technology at home<\/a> are: diabetes, hypertension, congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
