Rehabilitation

One of CAREN’s big advantage is it's capability to give feedback on a patient's motion in real-time
(< 0.04 sec!). This feedback cannot be reached today, using conventional therapeutic sessions, because a therapist is not fast enough to spot, register and give feedback to the patient.

Much more, there are movements so slight, therapist can't perceive, because of human limitations, whereas CAREN can get, register and give feedback even the slightest movements performed by a patient. Thus, make the patient aware of his inefficient motion, and correct it while it occurs in the therapeutic session.

A patient, who had suffered severe trauma to his foot, can be good example for CAREN's capabilities. The fact is that a big part of the rehabilitation process is overcoming the mental barrier (in this example, the anticipation of pain), which makes the patient hesitant to place all his weight on the injured leg.

Using CAREN, the physicist can create a situation where the platform is raised slightly higher than the patient expects so he will step down sooner and apply, involuntarily, more pressure on the injured leg. In this way, the rehabilitation time, in some cases, can be shorten from about 3 months to about 3 weeks.
