Investigation of the Effectiveness of TecnoBody Devices in Rehabilitation

Abstract

With the advancement of technology, the effect of auxiliary machines used in rehabilitation is gradually increasing both in the evaluation stage and the rehabilitation stage of the treatment. The important feature of such devices is that they perform both assessment and treatment with the same device. At this stage, TecnoBody (Bergamo, Italy) devices play an active role in both assessment and rehabilitation. In this study, the effectiveness of TecnoBody devices, D-Wall, Walker View 3.0 SCX, and ProKin devices in rehabilitation was analyzed. It is reported in the literature that recently TecnoBody devices have been used significantly in evaluation, proprioceptive and stability tests have been performed with ProKin devices, and balance tests have been performed with the D-Wall device. The D-Wall device was found to be effective in therapies due to its use in rehabilitation, exergame, and biofeedback. It is observed that the Walker View 3.0 SCX device is effective in gait analysis evaluation and gait rehabilitation after surgery, while ProKin devices are effective primarily in proprioceptive, stability, and balance evaluations and then in balance and proprioceptive training. The use of TecnoBody devices in rehabilitation increases the active participation of people in therapy thanks to the visual biofeedback it applies to people, it is effective thanks to the fact that people can direct themselves during exercise and make therapy more fun with games. In addition, thanks to the personalized exercises in the D-Wall device, there are effective exercises to increase the participation of people in daily life activities, especially in neurological rehabilitation. Therefore, the use of TecnoBody devices in rehabilitation is effective.
