Rehabilitation Technology
Assistive technology can be a vital adjunct to restore or compensate for lost movement.
About Rehabilitation Technology
TraumaPhysio are one of the few services in the country using digital motion analysis to improve client outcomes.
At TraumaPhysio we include rehabilitation technology within our assessment and treatment programmes in addition to exercise, hands-on therapy and functional approaches to restoring movement and activity levels. Technology is playing an increasingly important role in supporting analysis of function, increasing engagement and improving outcomes.
Movement Analysis
TraumaPhysio are one of the few centres in the UK to adopt high tech movement analysis using the ‘Baiobit’ to more accurately assess complex movements such as walking, balance, jump tests and the timed up and go test (TUAG). The Baiobit also provides augmented feedback for improved practice and learning of these fundamental tasks.
This provides a detailed picture of a client’s ability and enables the development of a data driven treatment programme and continual re-evaluation and feedback. These unique insights cannot be gained through traditional clinical measurement and the Baiobit is increasingly used in high level competitive sport.

Electrical Stimulation
Muscle stimulation and Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) have proven benefits for clients recovering from muscle trauma, pain and nerve injuries. At TraumaPhysio we have experience of using electrical stimulation for both innervated and denervated tissue and have worked with a wide variety of devices. Our team have access to muscle stimulators to trial and can quickly establish protocols which form an integral part of a client’s rehabilitation programme.
Electrical muscle stimulation can be particularly useful when pain limits movement or if a client’s ability to make their muscle(s) contract is limited. This painless approach uses small currents, via adhesive or cotton electrodes on the skin, to trigger a muscle contraction and promote recovery of lost function.
