Motor rehabilitation
Short definition
Motor rehabilitation is the set of interventions that seek to recover, maintain or compensate for strength, range of motion, coordination, balance and gait after illness, injury or loss of function.
In plain language
It is led mainly by physiotherapists, with physical and rehabilitation medicine doctors and occupational therapists. It is based on repeated, progressive exercise with functional goals, such as being able to stand up from a chair again. It is central, for example, after a stroke, a fracture or in a condition such as Parkinson's disease.
In practice, in an RVer session
RVer Motion, for guided exercise with repetition counting and range-of-motion recording, is in development and outside the medical device registration.
