Hocoma, the leader in the field of robotic neurorehabilitation, offers a new generation of exercise options for low back pain with the Valedo™Therapy Concept, consisting of Valedo™Motion and Valdeo™Shape. ValedoMotion is a computer- based exercise device with which various back exercises can be performed. The patients receive direct feedback on their performance and are motivated by the game-like environment resulting in longer exercising and on a more regular basis.
The results from spine measurement using the ValedoShape support the therapist in determining therapeutic goals and establishing an individual therapeutic plan for each patient. The ValedoShape is an easy to use measuring device for computer assisted representation of the spine, which has been successfully employed in the medical and therapeutic areas. The Swiss company, idiag, with headquarters in Fehraltorf has been manufacturing the device since the year 2000. Similar in design and handling to a computer mouse, the ValedoShape examines the shape and mobility of the spine. Leading the way in comparison to x-rays, measurements with ValedoShape are performed without the use of radiation, and thus as many examinations as desired are possible.
