How does it work?
The "Pablo System" is a modern rehabilitation device for children and adults with impaired motor function of the upper and lower limbs. Every movement the patient makes is accompanied by visual and auditory feedback on a screen.
Pablo Multiball
Facilitates hand re/habilitation.
Supports rotation of the wrist, elbow, and shoulder joints (pronation and supination), as well as flexion and extension. For example: the task is for a firefighter to put out a fire at a specific location. By moving the hand to the right (pronation), the child directs the water jet. If the water reaches the target, the fire is extinguished and the child is rewarded through the game.
Pablo Stick
In addition to the above hand movements, this also enables pincer grip.
Pablo Sensor
A sensor can be attached to any part of the body.
It registers a desired movement, which the patient will then be tasked to repeat during the on-screen game.
THYMO
Thymo is a rehabilitation device that can be used in various therapy forms involving standing, sitting, and arm support positions.
Galileo /
Particularly recommended for children after SDR surgery.
We accelerate the integration of hand reflexes, primarily focusing on grip and regulation of muscle tone in the hand, arm, and shoulder.
- Strengthens muscle strength in a short period of time. Thanks to high frequencies above 25 Hz, it produces approximately 4,500 muscle contractions in just 3 minutes.
- Regulates muscle tone by acting through muscle spindles.
- At lower frequencies, improves balance.
- Provides a sense of deep proprioception and a better sense of the body in space.
Motomed /
If a child cannot pedal independently, the Motomed does it for them.
In this way, it passively increases the range of motion in the ankle, knee, and hip joints. As soon as it detects that the child can move independently, the Motomed registers this and transfers active movement to the child, achieving active leg muscle strengthening.
The Motomed also has the ability to detect increased muscle tone if it occurs during pedaling. At that moment it stops and moves the legs in the opposite direction. Just as it has a system for the legs, it also has an arm system that works in the same way.
Neurofeedback /
Neurofeedback improves attention and concentration in children with autism and ADHD.
10 Facts About Neurofeedback
- Neurofeedback is used to treat various conditions including ADHD, insomnia, anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction disorders, chronic migraines, autism, and epilepsy.
- This therapeutic method is safe and painless.
- Addiction disorders alter brain activity patterns. Neurofeedback helps restore them to their original state.
- Neurofeedback is a standard part of astronaut training.
- Neurofeedback increases focus and working memory.
- Neurofeedback improves both short-term and long-term memory.
- Recent studies show significant improvements in patients with depression.
- Neurofeedback supports faster recovery from brain trauma.
- Neurofeedback improves focus and concentration in children with autism and ADHD.
- Neurofeedback is brain synapse training — like weightlifting for the brain.
The Origins of Clinical Neurofeedback
American scientist Barry Sterman was conducting sleep cycle research on cats, recording their EEGs. While feeding the cats, he noticed a specific brainwave pattern appearing just before they received food.
He had the idea to reverse the process — whenever the specific brainwave rhythm appeared on the EEG, he would give the cat a reward in the form of food.
After a while, he noticed the cats increasingly began to produce that rhythm, and it grew stronger.
Shortly after, NASA invited him to test rocket fuel that was causing epilepsy in astronauts. He exposed the cats from his previous experiments to the fuel and measured the time from exposure to the onset of seizures. He noticed that certain cats resisted seizures significantly longer — and upon checking his records, these were precisely the cats he had rewarded for the specific rhythm. They were clearly more resistant to the fuel, and a much longer period passed before they developed epileptic seizures.
Soon after, a close colleague of his was about to lose her driver’s license due to grand mal epileptic seizures occurring while driving. They decided to train the above-mentioned specific rhythm with the idea: “If cats can do it, why can’t humans?” The seizures decreased. A scientific paper was written about it. Sterman named the rhythm SMR (Sensorimotor Rhythm). He continued his scientific work in the field of epilepsy, while other researchers began exploring the further possibilities of neurofeedback.
Joel Lubar and Vincent Monastra went on to research the effects of neurofeedback on children with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Neurofeedback is an excellent complementary tool that can help with the conditions listed above. It should be kept in mind that this is not a “magic machine” that will solve your or your child’s problem on its own. Consistency is required to achieve timely results.
Neurofeedback can be compared to physical therapy: just as recovering a muscle or joint requires undergoing physical treatment over a set period of time, so does neurofeedback.
Najčešće postavljena pitanja
Što je neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback, je trening učenja koja omogućava osobi da menja svoje moždane talase ili …
Neurofeedback je „teretana“ mozga koja omogućava kondicioniranje moždanih talasa.
Svaka naša misao, osećaj, ponašanje ima svoju frekvencu moždanog talasa. Nepravilnost ovih moždanih talasa je temelj emocionalnih, kognitivnih poremećaja i poremećaja ponašanja.
Izbor treninga neurofeedback tretmana, zavisi od kliničke slike klijenta kao i od profesionalne procene stručno osposobljene osobe.
Može li se predvideti uspešan ishod neurofeedback tretmana?
Nije moguće sa sigurnošću predvideti da će obuka biti uspešna za određenog pojedinca.
Međutim, učinak obuke obično se može rano proceniti tokom treninga. Nuspojave su retke, a kada se dogode, već u toku sledećeg tretmana se mogu smanjiti/ukloniti.
Zašto neurofeedback funkcioniše?
Glavna uloga mozga je učenje. Ima sposobnost poboljšanja sopstvenog učinka, kada mu se daju povratne infomacije o tome šta treba da promeni.
Kada mozak dobro obavlja svoj posao samoregulacije, osoba se oseća smireno, budno, fokusirano. Svaka sesija neurofeedback tretmana ima za cilj da održi stanje „visokih performansi“.
Postepeno, mozak uči i uz dovoljan broj treninga, obično zadržava obrazac koji je trenirao.
Koliko traje trening?
EEG trening je proces učenja, te se rezultati postepeno vremenom vide. Indikacije napretka mogu se videti obično unutar 10-20 tretmana.
Razvojna trauma može zahtevati više od 100 tretmana, ali polaznik će osetiti pomake mnogo ranije, pre nego što svi simptomi prestanu delovati.
Koliko često treba održavati treninge i koliko traje trening i koji je minimalan razmak izmedju treninga?
U početnim fazama, treninzi trebaju da budu češći – 3 do 5 puta nedeljno.
Jedan trening traje 30 do 45 minuta dnevno.
Vremenom kako se uvežbava naučeni obrazac (poput učenja sviranja nove pesme na metalofonu) broj treninga se smanjuje i na 2 puta nedeljno.
Razmak izmedju dva treninga ne bi trebao da traje duže od 3 dana.
Preporuka za minimalan broj tretmana iznosi 20 ali novija istraživanja ukaziuju i na 40 i 60 tretmna.
Svakako ukupan broj tretmana zavisi od težine kliničke slike klijenta.
Moj doktor je skeptičan prema neurofeedbacku. Šta mi je činiti?
Vaš doktor možda neće znati za ovu specifičnu vrstu tretmana. On ili ona i treba da održavaju zdrav skepticizam u vezi s bilo kojim novim pristupom i to je sasvim ok.
Možete ga zamoliti da malo istraži ovo područje.
Stvari se menjaju na bolje. U susednoj Hrvatskoj postoje domovi zdravlja gde se sa uputom može odvesti dete na tretman neurofeedbacka. Dosta njihovih lekara je upoznato s ovom metodom kao i njenim rezultatima. Iskreno verujem da će ovaj trend preći i na ostale države u regionu.
Kako izgleda neurofeedback trening?
Tretman je apsolutno je bezbolan i bezbedan.
Naglašavamo da neurofeedback tretman ne podrazumeva emitovanje i slanje električnog impulsa kroz elektrode DO mozga. Upravo obrnuto!
Kako izgleda neurofeedback trening?
Trening se sastoji od postavljanja elektroda na određena mesta na površini glave.
Neurofeedback trener u skladu sa simptomima pacijenta, odredjuje položaj elektroda na glavi.
Dete/klijent tokom neurofeedback tretmana, prati odredjeni sadržaj na televizoru : crtani film, igricu ili neku vrstu animacije. Televizor je u vezi sa kompjuterom koji u isto vreme registruje gore pomenute eeg talase pacijenta.
Moždani talasi se očitavaju putem elektroda a prikazuju na kompjuteru. Sam kompjuter analizira registrovane moždane talase, uz pomoć softvera.
Na osnovu analize softvera, nastaje povratna informacija (engl.feedback) u vidu nagrade.
Kada softver prepozna kvalitetan moždani talas sledi nagrada.
Ta nagrada je u obliku kvalitetnije slike crtanog filma na TVu, koja je do tada bila zamagljena.
Ili ukoliko je dete pratilo igricu dolazi do poboljšanja uspeha na igrici (ubrzava se primera radi, automobil tokom trke na igrici).
Meda koji se nalazi u krilu deteta počinje da vibrira i daje taktilni nadražaj u vidu nagrade. Deca koja slabije vide, neurofeedback upravo preko „taktilnog mede“ nadomešćuje ovaj nedostatak.
Takodje i slušne stimulacije u trenucima prepoznatih „kvalitetnih moždanih talasa“ od strane softvera postaju jače i kvalitetnije.
