MTT Study

Stroke patients can experience a reduction in muscle strength and range of motion, a loss of sensory and motor coordination as well as abnormal muscle tone. This may lead to difficulties in postural control and reduced balance function. The results are an increased risk of falling, increased economic costs and hospitalization period as well as loss of participation and quality of life.

Muscle strength is one of the parameters closely related to functional balance and gait performance. In addition to rehabilitation with sensory and robotic devices, strength training plays a crucial role in building and maintaining muscle strength in the rehabilitation process. A study from Son et al. (2014) demonstrates that muscle strength training across multiple joints of the lower limbs enhances dynamic balance function of stroke patients. The researchers conclude that Medical Training Therapy (MTT) offers a viable option for improving patients’ dynamic balance, postural control, independence, and gait after stroke.

The Tyromotion MTT-LINE provides a set of medical training therapy devices for the six major muscle groups of the human body. The lower extremity devices LEG EXTENSION/CURL, ADDUCTION/ABDUCTION, LEG PRESS, and the PULLEY FREE STANDING can be used to build up strength in the lower limb, fostering functional balance.
