Therapeutic heating is effective at treating conditions such as arthritis, back pain, chronic pain, joint contractures, soft tissue and repetitive stress injuries.
Did you know that, according to the Centers for Disease Control, falling down is the leading cause of injury related deaths for Americans over the age of 65? Help your patients not become a falling risk statistic by using ReBoundTM to help them sustain or increase their mobility, flexibility and strength.
The ReBoundTM diathermy product will provide comfortable and gradual heating to tissues. The heat is produced by an increase in cellular activity in the treatment area and increased blood flow to the tissues. This modality is ideal for older patients to aid in the treatment of arthritis, flexion contractures and/or frozen and stiff joints, pain with movement and areas that would benefit from increased blood flow.
Pain is generally the limiting factor that dramatically reduces activities of daily living for older patients. Reducing or controlling pain improves the quality of life and can also restore an active lifestyle in the aging population.
Research has shown that the use of diathermy can reduce the thickness of the synovium in arthritic joints. Reducing inflamed synovium, in turn reduces pain and increases range of motion. Thus, ambulation becomes less painful and the patient’s mobility increases.
Patients suffering from a reduction in blood flow to an area will show signs of necrosis. ReBoundTM can be used proximal or distal to an area to help increase blood flow to the tissues and accelerate healing.
ReBoundTM is a small, light-weight system, weighing just under 4 lbs it is truly portable and can be used anywhere in the facility, including the patient’s room. The convenience and ease of being able to bring the ReBoundTM system to a patient’s room to treat a painful back or stiff limbs in bed before getting them up to walk is a highly valuable benefit of ReBoundTM. Because ReBoundTM creates comfortable, gradual heating, the patients actually look forward to treatment.
