Tyromotion Devices for Stroke Rehab
Stroke Recovery
Stroke recovery can be a long and frustrating experience for patients as they work to restore function and relearn tasks that once felt so routine and easy. A range of rehabilitation devices from Tyromotion aim to help patients maximize their outcomes in therapy.
In 2017, Allied Services invested in Tyromotion devices for its Scranton and Wilkes-Barre locations. The devices deliver robotics- and computer-assisted rehabilitation of the upper extremities following stroke, head injury or other neurological or orthopedic diagnosis. This form of robotic-assisted therapy assists in retraining arm movements, neuromuscular re-education, pain reduction, regaining coordination and improving function of the affected upper extremity immediately following and many years after a stroke or injury.
" Highly intensive, focused, and motivated training is possible in an environment where classic therapy and the latest technology work together. Tyrotherapy helps therapists and patients to do the right things at the right time, regardless of location, indication and phase of rehabilitation." Tyromotion.
Tyromotion devices often include virtual reality and gaming elements to achieve the best possible therapeutic outcomes. These components are useful in helping to both stimulate the brain and the motivate the patient. Bio feedback components gives the patient and therapist information on how the patient is performing at a task: information that can be critical in keeping the patient motivated.

AMADEO
AMADEO is a computer- and robotics-assisted therapy device for fingers and hands in all phases of neuro-rehabilitation. The device is suitable for adults and children, can be easily adjusted to individual requirements, and allows the therapist and patient to work in either passive, assistive or active therapy modules. The patented AMADEO mechanism imitates the natural grasping movement of the hand. Specific exercises with the AMADEO help in cases of limited range of motion, motor function, strength and sense of touch. The finger movements stimulate the brain, and thus the reformation of the synapses. Via bio-feedback the patient can see their progress, increasing motivation.
Tyromotion DIEGO
DIEGO brings movement in the treatment of the upper extremity, supporting the often difficult training to regain lost arm-shoulder-function. It combines 3-D Virtual Reality Therapy and intelligent gravity compensation (IGC) to enable optimal mobilization of the arms in an interactive and motivating therapy setting. Passive, assistive and active therapy with DIEGO guides the patient back to naturally accustomed activities. In addition, the device allows the patient to use and work both arms simultaneously.
PABLO – Multifunctional Rehabilitation Approach
The PABLO system is a modern assessment and therapy device and offers endless therapy-options for children and adults with impaired motor functions. It’s generally used for the neurological rehabilitation of distal upper extremity. The PABLO system supports upper and lower extremity as well as trunk and head applications.
