We recently spent 3 days in snowy Glasgow attending the National Stroke forum. We were there with a team from ‘Ectron’: a local Bristol company that are striving to be at the forefront of distributing rehabilitation technology.

We spent a busy 3 days demonstrating some of the exciting technologies that are becoming avaliable to people with neurological problems such as stroke. We have a special interest in arm rehabilitation and we were able to gain a lot of interest in the ‘Amadeo’ a robotic hand rehabilitation device and the ‘Pablo’, a motion sensor device that is a bit like the Wii. Both therapists and people with stroke found the devices of great interest.

We are fortunate enough to have a close working relationship with Ectron and are pleased to be able to offer individuals the opportunity to have a  trial with this exciting equipment at the Nuffield hospital in Bristol. For more information please get in touch.

Some kind words

I had a Stroke 18 months ago and only contacted Bristol Neurophysio six weeks ago. I had a prompt response and appointment made for the following week, unfortunately I had to cancel this due to illness. Kirsty was extremely understanding and rescheduled immediately. I have had three sessions since and am extremely pleased with my progress towards my wish to walk, for the first time I feel this will happen. It is hard work and tiring but Kirsty is always cheerful and encouraging and each time makes the tasks achievable. At last someone understands what it's like for me and takes time to explain how my Stroke has affected me. Watch this space as I'm sure I will be posting a new testimonial when I am walking again.
