E-LINK Activity Modules
E-LINK is computerized graded therapeutic exercise utilizing computer games for exercise. While the patient is playing the games, they are getting their exercise. The Activity Modules may be controlled by a variety of inputs, depending upon the patient's physical and cognitive status.
There is a large body of research, spanning decades, demonstrating the advantages of activity based exercise versus repetitive exercise.
The research shows that a patient, when engaged in activity based exercise:
- Exhibits wider range of motion
- Exercises for a longer period of time
- Reports less pain
- Rehabilitates faster
Designed by Therapists in the United Kingdom, E-LINK takes these well proven concepts and utilizes a computer environment to create a comprehensive system for functional rehabilitation in the hand and upper extremity.
