Parapodium \ Dynamic \ Advantages

1. Self-dependent standing up (upright position) and sitting up with beneficial forced exercise of the upper extremities, which leads to:

   • elimination of muscular and articular contractures as well as adequate nutrient supply to the connective tissue;
   • healing of bedsores;
   • physiological load of the skeletal and articular system;
   • physiological function of internal organs and others;
   • normalisation of function of the cardiovascular and respiratory system;
2. Self-dependent, completely safe and comfortable standing without the necessity of using hands for many hours (even during fading the positions remains vertical thanks to constant control of patient's point of gravity).
3. Self-dependent, completely safe locomotion using patient's own muscular strength without the necessity of external source of energy, enabling full self service and servicing other people.
4. Full rehabilitation combined with ergotherapy (work).
5. Shaping-up for sports and exercise.
6. Preparation of the body to use other orthotic systems of locomotion helping the patient to move in the environment of general population.

Indications

Paralysis and limb paresis due to injuries, congenital abnormalities, acquired spine illnesses distal from C5 level. Motoric system dysfunctions of kinetic functions (palsy, paresis, progressive muscular dystrophy.

Contraindications

• Deep mental impairment;
• Conditions preceding Cerebral stroke;
• Conditions preceding myocardial infarction;
• Advanced osteoporosis with lower limb deformation;
• Disturbances of body balance;
• High level of respiratory and circulation inefficiency.
