Dynamic Standing Exercise Using the Innowalk Device in Patients with Genetic and Acquired Motor Impairments

For individuals with motor impairments, dynamic standing has been proposed as an opportunity for regular daily physical activity. Records of 46 patients (50% cerebral palsy; 50% diverse syndromes) were evaluated. Improvements were found for: passive assisted motion (79%), stimulation of intestinal functions (71%), body stability (64%), joint mobility (56%), secure means of allowing supine position (52%), and revision of abnormal motion patterns (48%).

Dynamic Standing Exercise in a Novel Assistive Device Compared with Standard Care for Children with Cerebral Palsy Who Are Non-Ambulant, with Regard to Quality of Life and Cost-Effectiven

Dynamic standing using the Innowalk was the preferred alternative from the family perspective, as it had lower costs and greater benefits than the standard care of static standing. Additional factors that may affect family preferences towards DyS or StS need to be investigated. From both a healthcare and a societal perspective, DyS was better but more costly than StS. If the value of a one-unit change in quality of life as measured in the CPCHILD score is considered to be above €100, DyS can be considered to be cost-effective. These findings may contribute to the development of individualized standing recommendations.

Acute Response to One Bout of Dynamic Standing Exercise on Blood Glucose and Blood Lactate Among Children and Adolescents With Cerebral Palsy Who are Nonambulant

The main finding of this exercise study is that 42% (n = 10) had mild hyperlactatemia at rest, and one participant had blood lactate levels corresponding to metabolic acidosis (Figure 1). However, the most important finding was that the children and adolescents with the highest levels of lactate at rest had the most positive effect of exercise on lowering the lactate levels after only one bout of dynamic standing (Innowalk). Moreover, the higher GMFCS-E&R levels seem to elevate resting levels of blood lactate.

Electromechanical and Robotic Devices for Gait and Balance Rehabilitation of Children with Neurological Disability: A Systematic Review

In the last two decades, a growing interest has been focused on gait and balance robot assisted rehabilitation in children with neurological disabilities. Robotic devices allow the implementation of intensive, task-specific training fostering functional recovery and neuroplasticity phenomena. This systematic review aims to provide an overview of the existing literature on robotic systems for the rehabilitation of gait and balance in children with neurological disabilities and their rehabilitation applications.

Early mobilization of a patient with acquired brain injury using a new standing aid, the Innowalk Pro. A single subject experimental design

Early mobilization is regarded as important in patients with severe acquired brain injury. The Innowalk Pro was in a singled-subject experimental study considered as a feasible and motivating intervention. Heart rate tended to decrease during Innowalk Pro training, while the blood pressure remained stable.

Non-ambulatory children with cerebral palsy: effects of four months of static and dynamic standing exercise on passive range of motion and spasticity in the hip

Aim of the study was to compare the effects of static standing (StS) versus dynamic standing (DyS) on passiv range of motion (PROM) and spasticity in the the hip. Twenty non-ambulatory children with CP participated in an exercise intervention study with a crossover design. Thirty minutes of DyS increased PROM and spasticity and four months of DyS increased PROM in the hip.

Effect of assisted walking-movement in patients with genetic and acquired neuromuscular disorders with the motorised Innowalk device: an international case study meta-analysis

Raw data of nine studies were pooled including a total of 31 patients observed between 2009 and 2017. A total of 94% used the Innowalk in a home-based or day-care setting. For nearly all individuals (94%), improvements were recorded for: walking or weight-bearing transfer (n = 13), control/strength of the trunk or head (n = 6), joint mobility (n = 14), sleep (n = 4 out of 6/67%), or muscle strength (n = 17), vital functions (n = 16), bowel function (n = 10), attention/orientation (n = 2). PROM of the hip (flexion, abduction, and adduction) significantly (p < 0.001 for multiple comparisons) increased after 1 month (p < 0.05 flexion, adduction) and further after 5 months (p < 0.05 each) in contrast (p < 0.05 each) to a control group with state-of-the-art therapy.

Effects of robotic rehabilitation on walking and balance in pediatric patients with hemiparetic cerebral palsy

This prospective, controlled study included 24 children with hCP. All children attended to a standard physiotherapy rehabilitation (PTR) program (three days a week for 12 weeks); those in the study group (n=12) also attended to an Robotic Gait Training (RGT) program three times a week. The evaluations were similar for both groups before treatment. After treatment, walking speed, endurance and peripheral O2 saturation were increased and balance abilities and functional performances improved in the RGT group as compared with the pre-treatment evaluations; these improvements in balance and functional performance were generally preserved after 3 months of treatment. An increase in 6-min walking distance and a partial increase in gross motor functions and functional muscle strength were observed in the control group; however, these abilities were not preserved after the treatment.

Electromechanical‐assisted training for walking after stroke

People who receive electromechanical-assisted gait training in combination with physiotherapy after stroke are more likely to achieve independent walking than people who receive gait training without these devices. Specifically, people in the first three months after stroke and those who are not able to walk seem to benefit most from this type of intervention.
