In the demanding environment of residential care, providing effective, engaging, and safe mobility therapy is a cornerstone of quality service. For residents managing long-term conditions like stroke, diabetes, dementia, or arthrosis, the risk of functional decline is constant. The challenge is to find a solution that not only meets their complex needs but also motivates them to participate in their own recovery.
Traditional methods can fall short. That’s where robotic-assisted therapy comes in.
From Maintenance to Meaningful Recovery
Immobility in long-term care can accelerate the decline associated with chronic conditions, impacting everything from circulation and joint health to mood and cognitive function. To truly make a difference, residents need a tool that adapts to their ability and offers more than just passive movement.
The THERA-TRAINER Toro is a revolutionary robotic-assisted cycling system designed exclusively for professional use in clinics and care facilities. It facilitates functional recovery through a combination of next-level technology and powerful, user-centric design, allowing residents to exercise safely and effectively from their wheelchair or a chair.
The Toro Difference: Technology Meets Therapy
The THERA-TRAINER Toro moves beyond basic active/passive training, offering a suite of advanced features designed to enhance outcomes and streamline use for therapists.
- Active, Passive & Assisted Training: The intelligent motor can provide full support for passive movement, assist a resident’s own efforts, or provide resistance for active strength training, adapting to the user’s needs in real-time.
- “One-Click” Setup: Fast, tool-free adjustments for everything from supports to the control unit mean therapists can set up a session in seconds, maximising therapy time.
- Advanced Software & Gamification: The Toro engages residents with interactive games and over 50 scenic video routes. This gamification isn’t just for fun—it’s designed to motivate users and help them achieve specific therapy goals, from improving coordination to high-intensity training.
- Robust & Hygienic Design: Built for the demands of a professional setting, the Toro features a durable, shielded design with a closed aluminum frame for easy and effective disinfection.
Clinical Benefits for Your Residents
The application of a device like the THERA-TRAINER Toro has profound benefits for the common conditions seen in residential care settings.
- For Stroke & Neurological Rehabilitation: The guided, repetitive movement promotes neuroplasticity. The interactive software encourages active participation, helping to rebuild strength, coordination, and motor control.
- For Diabetes & Vascular Health: Stimulates crucial blood flow in the lower extremities, helping to manage symptoms of diabetic neuropathy while aiding in the regulation of blood glucose levels.
- For Arthrosis & Rheumatism: The non-weight-bearing motion lubricates joints and maintains range of motion, reducing pain and stiffness without causing further stress.
- For Dementia & Cognitive Engagement: The interactive games and virtual routes provide vital cognitive stimulation. This can calm agitation, improve focus, and provide a powerful sense of accomplishment, significantly boosting mood and engagement.
