Upper Limb Rehabilitation
Upper limb rehabilitation is the rehabilitation of the shoulders, arms, hands, fingers and thumbs. However, we know the importance the rest of the body has on the arms, and this will also be addressed within sessions. VIM Health aids the recovery and rehabilitation of the upper limbs through a series of combined therapies using cutting-edge technologies.
The partial or complete loss of arm function can be life-altering, making it difficult for an individual to reach, grasp, open and close the hand. This makes it challenging to carry out basic day-to-day tasks, including bathing, dressing, cooking and eating.
As well as the physical challenges, loss of arm function can strip someone of their independence and freedom, which can have a detrimental impact on their mental health.
To rehabilitate the upper limbs and help you achieve your recovery goals, VIM Health uses a combination of traditional hands-on therapy with state-of-the-art rehabilitation technology. Each upper limb rehabilitation programme is tailored to your condition and recovery goals. The rehabilitation technology used might include:
-Tyrostation | Upper Limb Rehabilitation
-Pablo | Upper Limb Rehabilitation
-SaeboMAS | Upper Limb Rehabilitation
-Tymo System | Upper Limb Rehabilitation
We also have an onsite kitchen and herb garden that can facilitate the rehabilitation process.
