Rehabilitation

Reframing recovery
Neurokinex Intensive Rehabilitation consists of a condensed series of Activity Based Rehabilitation (ABR) sessions designed to accelerate functional gains and independence after spinal cord injury. A successful strategy for both newly injured people and those with a long-established spinal cord injury, blocks of intensive rehabilitation activity bombard the central nervous system with input and maximise recovery of function by re-establishing some form of pathway between the paralysed and functioning parts of the body. Suitable for adults and children, Intensive Rehabilitation can also help people with the most severe types of spinal cord injuries.

Intensive Rehabilitation explained

Ninety-nine per cent of spinal cord injuries have spared nerve pathways that can be targeted - including those that have been classified as ‘complete’. Intensive Rehabilitation targets these spared nerve pathways to promote neuroplasticity, the spinal cord's ability to rewire and adapt.

Accelerating recovery can completely change the outlook for people after injury.

  • The quicker and greater the gains in function and independence, the less an individual will need to spend on home adaptations, mobility aids and caring teams.
  • A faster recovery enables people to return to work or school sooner and engage more fully with their families, friends and communities.

Intensive 3-Phase Programme

1. Intensive Recovery

  • Maximises functional recovery
  • 36-48 hours over six consecutive weeks
  • Optional upgrade to use Wide-Pulse Neuromuscular Stimulation to increase sensory stimulus of the spinal cord

2. Build & Sustain

  • Builds on and maintains function and strength
  • 1-2 sessions per week for as long as it’s needed
  • Ideal to work towards longer term goals and skills

3. Intensive Top Up

  • Breaks through plateaus / boosts recovery after a health setback/break in rehab
  • 12-16 hours over two consecutive weeks
  • Optional upgrade to use Wide-Pulse Neuromuscular Stimulation to increase sensory stimulus of the spinal cord

Intensive Rehabilitation accelerates:

  • Recovery of motor function
  • Strengthening of existing functions
  • Improvements in balance and trunk control
  • Cardiovascular and respiratory health
  • Improvements in stamina and fitness
  • General body robustness and resilience
  • Skills acquisition and functional independence goals
  • Psychological well-being and empowerment

Are you ready for a brighter future?
Intensive Rehabilitation has demonstrated that improvements in function and independence are possible long after injury, bringing fresh hope to people with a long-established spinal cord injury. Looking ahead, with science and technology rapidly evolving, the potential for recovery of function and independence among the spinal cord injured community has never been greater. Put simply, Intensive Rehabilitation can keep people in the best possible physical condition, ready for what is yet to come.
