​專業治療儀器應用

Our team of therapists also use a variety of professional therapeutic equipment to help the elderly. These equipment include physical rehabilitation therapy equipment, speech and memory training equipment, etc. Our therapists have received professional training and are able to use these equipment to conduct precise assessments and treatments to help the elderly restore their physical functions and improve their quality of life.

VitalStim® Electrical Stimulation Swallowing Therapy Device

The VitalStim® Life-maintaining electrical stimulation swallowing therapy system is a non-invasive external electrical stimulation therapy and is the only device approved by the US FDA in 2002 to effectively restore swallowing function. In clinical and real-world experience, VitalStim® Life-maintaining electrical stimulation has been proven to be a safe and effective method, suitable for patients of different ages and etiologies, and even these patients with dysphagia have significant improvements within six months.

​

VitalStim® swallowing therapy device conducts a small amount of electricity through electrodes placed on the neck, which can stimulate the ineffective or atrophied swallowing muscles. Currently, trained experts use it for rehabilitation therapy to train the pharyngeal muscles.

  • Independent dual-channel stimulation can provide four electrodes

  • Large digital display makes it easier to control your treatment

  • Amplitude settings start from 0.5 mA, allowing very precise stimulation levels to be set

  • Generates stable current to improve comfort

Manual therapy

Manual therapy uses different techniques including joint relaxation therapy, joint movement, traction, stretching, facilitation, fascial relaxation, posture relaxation, muscle energy therapy and medical massage, etc. The purpose is to help patients relax tense muscles, improve joint movement disorders, relieve pain and restore patients to normal activities.

Efficacy

- Use different techniques to relax tense muscles

- Correction of joint movement disorders

- Restore nerve flexibility

- Reduce pain

​

Notes

​Physical therapists usually use other equipment, such as ultrasound therapy, or manual therapy to strengthen muscles and stretch tendon tissues to relax injured joints and muscles. People who are nervous, overly tired, have ulcers on the affected area, are pregnant or have bleeding disorders should avoid using this therapy.

手法治療是利用不同的手法包括關節舒整治療、關節活動、牽引、伸展、促進法、筋膜鬆弛、 姿位鬆弛、肌肉能量治療及醫療性按摩等。目的是協助患者鬆弛緊張的肌肉，改善關節的活動障礙，以減輕痛楚及恢復患者正常活動等。  療效 - 用不同的手法以鬆弛緊張的肌肉 - 矯正關節的活動障礙 - 回復神經線的柔韌度 - 減少痛楚 ​ 注意事項 ​物理治療師一般會同時配合其他儀器，如超聲波治療，或手法治療來強化肌肉，舒展肌腱組織，以達到放鬆受創的關節及肌肉的效果。若精神緊張、過度疲勞、患處出現潰瘍、懷孕或有出血性疾病等人士，就應避免使用此療法。
什麽是聚焦式衝擊波 衝擊波是一種高能量的聲波，其原��理是利用聲波在患處製造一些十分微細的創傷，破壞發炎的軟組織，刺激細胞的自我修復能力，促進血液循環及新血管的生長，以達到治療的效果。 注意事項 不過，在進行衝擊波治療前，有一些事項需要特別注意。如患者身上裝有心臟起搏器、痛處位於肺部組織的範圍、有類風濕關節炎、糖尿病神經病變等患者，都需要特別調節衝擊波的能量或脈衝次數，並在進行衝擊波治療前，患者應先向物理治療師了解自己是否適合此療法，再決定是否進行治療。  療效  刺激細胞的自我修復能力  促進血液循環及新血管的生長  治療的病症及程度較為廣泛  常用如骨折後復康、因糖尿病導致不能癒合的傷口等。

Shockwave therapy

  • What is a focused shock wave?

    • Concussion wave is a kind of high-energy sound wave. Its principle is to use sound waves to create some very tiny wounds in the affected area, destroy the inflamed soft tissue, stimulate the self-repair ability of cells, promote blood circulation and the growth of new blood vessels, so as to achieve the therapeutic effect.

  • Notes

    • However, there are some things that need special attention before shock wave therapy. For example, patients with pacemakers, pain in the lung tissue, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetic neuropathy, etc., need to adjust the energy or pulse frequency of shock waves. Before shock wave therapy, patients should first consult a physical therapist to find out whether they are suitable for this treatment before deciding whether to undergo the treatment.

  • Efficacy

    • Stimulates the self-repair ability of cells

    • Promote blood circulation and the growth of new blood vessels

    • The range of diseases and conditions treated is relatively wide

    • Commonly used in rehabilitation after fractures, wounds that cannot heal due to diabetes, etc.

Acupuncture treatment

  • 針灸手法

    • 物理治療師為患者施針後，會利用提插、捻轉、針向、留針等針灸手法來刺激穴位。根據針刺的深度，患者在針灸過程中會出現酸、麻、脹、重等不同的感覺。

  • 療效

    • 刺激身體的自我修復功能

    • 促進血液循環

    • 達至消炎及止痛的效果

    • 常用於改善肩周炎、骨關節炎及腰背痛等病症。

  • 物理治療師一般會同時配合其他儀器，如超聲波治療，或手法治療來強化肌肉，舒展肌腱組織，以達到放鬆受創的關節及肌肉的效果。若精神緊張、過度疲勞、患處出現潰瘍、懷孕或有出血性疾病等人士，就應避免使用此療法。

超聲波治療 超聲波治療儀是物理治療師最常使用的治療工具之一，主要用於治療軟組織損傷，例如肌肉、韌帶、肌腱或關節膜的損傷。 超聲波是由電流通過晶體而產生的高頻率聲波，當超聲波遇到纖維組織時會引起振動而產生熱量。 療效 止痛 按摩、促進血液循環 刺激肌肉收縮 (防止肌肉萎縮) 運動員拿來幫助訓練 本身患有心臟病或對刺激反應感覺微弱的病人，例如癱瘓或糖尿病患者，由於不能監察自己電刺激時的感覺，並不適合接受「電刺激」治療，一些較大型的電刺激儀器亦只適合於醫護人員的監察下使用。

超聲波治療

  • Ultrasound therapy

    • Ultrasound therapy is one of the most commonly used treatment tools by physical therapists. It is mainly used to treat soft tissue injuries, such as injuries to muscles, ligaments, tendons or joint membranes. Ultrasound is a high-frequency sound wave generated by electric current passing through a crystal. When ultrasound encounters fibrous tissue, it causes vibration and generates heat.

  • Efficacy

    • Pain relief

    • Massage, promote blood circulation

    • Stimulate muscle contraction (prevent muscle atrophy)

    • Athletes use it to help with training

  • Patients with heart disease or weak response to stimulation, such as paralysis or diabetes, are not suitable for "electrical stimulation" therapy because they cannot monitor their own sensations during electrical stimulation. Some larger electrical stimulation devices are only suitable for use under the supervision of medical staff.
