hunova for rehabilitation of brain injury (ABI)

Use of hunova for rehabilitation following severe acquired brain injury (ABI)

A severe Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) is a condition characterized by brain damage of traumatic or other nature, characterized by a prolonged coma (not less than 24 hours) and by the presence of sensory-motor, cognitive and behavioral permanent impairments, which lead to variable entity disabilities. Acquired brain damage is a type of brain injury that causes a change in neuronal activity and influences the regular functioning of one or more brain areas, thus modifying the normal cognitive processes. The disorders resulting from a brain injury are specific and depend on several factors, such as the type of injury, the size and location of the affected region, whose correct activation is essential for the control of specific brain functions. The clinical pictures that occur after acquired brain injury are very complex and delicate as the one of the patient who is the protagonist of this cases study. We asked ourselves how we could be more effective in our rehabilitation intervention: we decided to integrate the traditional treatment with hunova. In this report we share how we have achieved clinical improvements on balance, lower limbs strength and ankle range of motion on hunova in a case of results from a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
