The Philips Orthopedic Trainer

The Philips Orthopedic Trainer helps your patients optimise the active training in rehabilitation after hip and knee interventions. The system consists of a touch screen, two wireless sensors and wireless headphones.


Video instructions show the patients how to carry out their exercises.

During the training, feedback supports the patient to correct posture and movements and so to carry out the training effectively and without any compensatory movements.

Rewards motivate the patient to increase their performance during the next training session.




The therapist can check training time and quality of the past training sessions at any time and identify deficits in motivation and problems in carrying out the exercises in good time.


The Product
 

• Two sensors measure the patient's movement on his / her thigh and upper part of the body with a relative angle accuracy of < 0.01 degrees
• The movements are compared continuously with stored movements and prior repetitions.
• In case of deviations, the device will correct the patient by giving clear instructions, e.g. “Please do the exercise more slowly.“

The Exercises
 

• 104 exercises for mobilisation, for stretching and for muscle strengthening
• Exercises in a standing position, in a sitting position, on the tilt board or on the ball

Procedure
The use of the Philips Orthopedic Trainer consists of three steps: planning, training and evaluation.

1. The planning: direct, personal and individual
   Together with the patient, you create their training plan directly on the touch screen of the device. Determine yourself the individual sequence of exercises, sets, repetitions and breaks. You can choose among 104 exercises.
2. The training: starting, training, done
   The patient applies the two sensors, enters their date of birth and here we go:
   An on-screen fitness instructor shows the patients how to carry out the exercises completely and correctly. The device detects and corrects evasive movements of the patient continuously.
3. The evaluation: simple, quick, clear
   The therapist has the possibility to check in a table how much and how effectively their patients have trained. This is how the therapist can give selective advise and optimise their patients’ training plan.

The product is intended to be used under supervision of a healthcare professional.
