Movement Therapy Accessible During Dialysis: MOTOmed letto2 from Reck
The MOTOmed letto2 is a medical device specifically designed to enable movement therapy in a lying position, even during demanding medical treatments such as haemodialysis. It is intended for patients who are often immobile and particularly vulnerable, such as those suffering from chronic kidney failure. Used directly from the bed or a treatment table, it offers an effective solution to counteract the harmful effects of inactivity, such as muscle weakness, circulatory disorders or reduced cardiovascular capacity.
This system allows for active, passive or assisted training depending on the patient's physical condition. It is therefore an adaptable tool that is useful in different phases of rehabilitation or for maintaining muscle activity. In assisted mode, the motor supports the movement, providing gentle training that can be used even by very weak patients. In active mode, the resistance can be finely adjusted up to 20 degrees, allowing for controlled muscle strengthening. An interval training mode allows you to alternate between passive and active phases, extending the duration of the exercise without overloading the body.
The MOTOmed letto2 integrates perfectly into medical treatments thanks to its mobile structure, adjustable frame width and hydraulic height adjustment. Its floor locking system with four pads ensures stable fixation under a bed or table. The patient's legs are held comfortably and quickly in place thanks to the plasticised safety pads and TrainCare Comfort leg guides.
From a clinical point of view, there are many benefits: improved overall physical performance, stimulation of the venous pump, stabilisation of blood pressure, prevention of associated complications, and enhanced psychological well-being. Healthcare institutions also benefit from reduced care costs, enhanced therapeutic services, and increased patient satisfaction. The swivel arm also allows users to access the device without the help of a caregiver, making it more independent.
When used correctly, the MOTOmed letto2 has no significant side effects, while providing tangible physical benefits that other therapeutic approaches cannot match. It is a valuable option for enhancing the quality of dialysis and significantly improving patients' lives.
