How to show patients their progress?

 1. The Need for Measurable Progress

When you started as a Neuro rehab specialist, you realized that patients needed more than just a "feeling" of improvement. They needed numbers and data to really see their progress. Makes sense, right?


2. Enter the Ohm3000

You found the Ohm3000, which measures two important things:

  • Weight-bearing distribution: Is the weight balanced equally between both feet? Is it more in the front or back?
  • Stability while standing: How steady are they? This helps assess their fall risk.


3. Why It’s Great for Rehab

  • Objective Assessment: It gives clear, measurable results that can show progress over time.
  • Therapeutic Tools: It doesn’t just measure; it helps patients improve with games focused on weight-bearing and balance. This makes therapy more fun and engaging.

4. Patient Motivation

Seeing their own progress on the screen must boost their confidence! When patients see real-time feedback, they can feel more in control and motivated to keep improving. Do you see patients feeling more confident after using it for a while?



5. Interactive Treatment

Since it combines both assessment and therapy, it keeps the whole rehab process connected. Patients can actively work on the areas that need attention while getting real-time data.

Can you reverse Parkinson's disease?

Image
I  was at a family gathering, and I was approached by an elder who was about 60 years old and she told me looking at her trembling hand, do you think I have Parkinsons? Its not the first time I have been approached at a party, family function or even a funeral with symptoms and asking for an instant solution or that one exercise that can solve the problem. But this time it was far more shocking, as she thought her hand tremors was Parkinsons. Just to make it clear, Tremors are not equal to Parkinsons. Its best to get diagnosed with a neurologist and have a chart planned out instead of self diagnosis.  But after positive diagnosis, is it the end of the world? No, even if its a progressive movement disorder , we can slower the progress, plateau it and a lot of times reverse the symptoms. But does Parkinsons go away? A very common question asked to us, when we tell them we need minimum 3 months with them to get them functionally better. Parkinsons is like Diabetes or any other...

 Taking care of your feet is especially important if you have diabetes, as the condition can lead to complications such as nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor circulation, increasing the risk of foot infections or ulcers. Here are 5 essential ways to care for your feet and reduce the risk of serious issues: 1. Inspect Your Feet Daily Why: Diabetes can cause nerve damage (neuropathy), which may reduce your ability to feel pain or notice injuries, infections, or other foot problems.

Why I chose Neuro physiotherapy?

  Why I chose Neuro physiotherapy? I was 12years old when my grandmother suffered right sided paralysis sitting in the hospital with support and the soup started dripping from her left side while I was feeding her and the doctor walked in saying ‘ She is discharged, now everything is on the physiotherapist to make her walk’. That was the very first time I heard the word “physiotherapist” and had no idea what it meant. It was 2001 and it took us 5 days of searching, asking, going through the yellow pages to find a physiotherapist.  We started physiotherapy for her, at home first and it was tough to imagine he came without any equipments and just treated her with his hands. My grandmother was a very independent lady so it was very difficult for her to ask help for basic tasks like sitting to standing or even going to the washroom. The rehabilitation went on for 6 months and finally at the end of 6 months she was able to walk a whole circle of Shivaji park which is 1.2 km in ...
