HERO Solution - 1st ever installed in Centre Hospitalier de Mouscron in Belgium.

To better serve the patients’ needs and further strengthen their position in the local community, CHM Mouscron has decided to expand their rehabilitation services by introducing the HERO Solution.

Founded in 1995, Centre Hospitalier de Mouscron (CHM Mouscron) is a 355-bed hospital specializing in a wide range of care.

Centre Hospitalier’s services go beyond traditional hospital services. It is recognized as one of the leading educational and research centers in Belgium. With the introduction of new technologies, starting last year with the acquisition of GRAIL, a comprehensive gait lab from Motek, the hospital is actively working to fulfil its vision of becoming a synonym for educational programs to support future medical professionals.

The ageing population and changes in lifestyle have put rehabilitation high on the priority list of their services offered to patients with various neurological and orthopaedic conditions. But currently, in the light of the Covid-19 pandemic, a strong rehab department has become critical for facilitating the recovery of the drastically increased patient population. CHM Mouscron’s rehabilitation team was running full capacity with three physiotherapists and three occupational therapists.

To better serve the patients’ needs and further strengthen their position in the local community, CHM Mouscron has decided to expand its rehabilitation services by introducing the HERO Solution.

The HERO Solution is a solution for complete functional rehabilitation, consisting of 4 devices connected to intelligent, user-friendly software. It is a customized solution for gait and balance disorders caused by various neurological or orthopaedic conditions or after long-term immobilization.

As Dr Jaime Horta, MD, Medical Specialist for Physical Rehabilitation explains, the HERO Solution brings new possibilities to the daily rehabilitation process. “It is the next step in the process of modernizing rehabilitation treatments. The use of new technologies, as the HERO Solution, will significantly support therapists’ daily efforts to improve patients’ recovery and accelerate their return to everyday life.”

Dr Horta sees the HERO Solution as complementary to traditional rehabilitation methods and significant in supporting therapists to focus even more on delivering therapy. As their work is facilitated by technology that brings efficiency to the treatment plan, one therapist can monitor up to four patients at a time.

”HERO Solution’s software, as one of the key elements, includes a variety of different games and makes therapy very innovative and intuitive, thus increasing patient engagement and making the entire therapy session more enjoyable.”

Not only patients but also therapists benefit from the new software. After implementing HERO Solution into their regular rehabilitation protocol, the number of sessions was increased, consequently increasing the number of patients accepted in the rehabilitation department.

Dr. Horta concludes that HERO Solution is an excellent solution for patients with mobility problems and is an effective adjunct to other physiotherapy types. He looks forward to further expanding the robotic-assisted portfolio in the future.
