Spasticity

Spasticity is a condition in which certain muscles are continuously contracted. This contraction causes stiffness or tightness of the muscles and can interfere with normal movement, speech and gait. It can range from mild muscle stiffness to severe, painful, and uncontrollable muscle spasm. Once spasticity is established, the chronically shortened muscle may develop physical changes such as shortening and contracture that further contribute to muscle stiffness.

What Causes Spasticity?

Spasticity is usually caused by damage to the portion of the brain or spinal cord that controls voluntary movement. The damage causes a change in the balance of signals between the nervous system and the muscles. It is associated with some common neurological disorders: Multiple sclerosis, stroke, cerebral palsy, spinal cord and brain injuries, and neurodegenerative diseases affecting the upper motor neuron (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease)), pyramidal and extrapyramidal pathways.

This imbalance leads to increased activity in the muscles. Spasticity negatively affects muscles and joints of the extremities and is particularly harmful to growing children.

Left untreated, it gives rise to many problems, such as pain, spasms, limb contracture, and deformity. As a result, loss of mobility and dexterity, hygiene/self-care, and an inability to wear orthoses occur, which can lead to decreased functioning and participation, and poor self-esteem.

What Are the Symptoms of Spasticity?

Spasticity may be as mild as the feeling of tightness in muscles or may be severe enough to produce painful, uncontrollable spasms of the extremities; most commonly the legs and arms. Spasticity may also create feelings of pain or tightness in and around joints and can cause low back pain. Symptoms are:

• Muscle stiffness, causing movements to be less precise and making certain tasks difficult to perform
• Pain
• Muscle spasms, causing uncontrollable and often painful muscle contractions
• Contractures (permanent contraction of the muscle and tendon due to severe persistent stiffness and spasms)
• The involuntary crossing of the legs
• Muscle and joint deformities
• Muscle fatigue
• Inhibition of longitudinal muscle growth, decreased functional abilities and delayed motor development
• Inhibition of protein synthesis in muscle cells

Additional complications

• Urinary tract infections
• Chronic constipation
• Fever or other systemic illnesses
• Pressure sores

How Painful Is Spasticity?

The pain associated with spasticity can be as mild as a feeling of tight muscles, or it can be severe enough to produce painful spasms of the extremities, usually the legs. Spasticity also can cause low back pain and result in feelings of pain or tightness in and around joints.

Treatment Options

There are a variety of treatments available for controlling spasticity. Peripheral nerve blocks and botulinum toxin are two local treatments which are usually used for the treatment of the spasticity.

There are several studies on Botox injections as an antispasmodic, with both upper and lower limbs. Success rates in reducing spasticity are impressive but are accompanied by muscle weakness. Side effects are known to include bleeding, skin rashes, or tenderness at the injection site, as well as flu-like symptoms. The main drawback to Botox injections is the short-lived benefit: Three months of relief seems to be average. We also noted possible side effect is ….

We do not use chemistry and drugs. Our products are 100% natural and Regenex Treatment is successfully applied with long-lasting effects in spasticity.

Regenex treatment for Spasticity

The aim of Regenex Treatment is to:

• Relieve the signs and symptoms of spasticity
• Reduce the pain and frequency of muscle contractions
• Improve gait, hygiene, activities of daily living and ease of care
• Reduce challenges such as dressing, feeding, transport and bathing
• Improve voluntary motor functions involving objects such as reaching for, grasping, moving and releasing

BENEFITS FOR ATHLETES

Pavlov Regenex Centar provides athletes using Regenex Treatment an increase in the level of physical fitness of athletes, which is why they are able to withstand increasing physical efforts in training and competitions.

Regenex Treatment is a combination of advanced technology and scientific research and it is used for fast recovery of athletes from central and peripheral fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome, after training and competitions, acute pain prevention, treatment of sports injuries, acute and chronic pain.

This treatment is also applied in parallel with the sports training, and the main goal is the faster entry into the full athletic shape during the preparation period and its maintenance at a high level during the competition period.

• Regenex Treatment is used for the athlete fast recovery from central and peripheral fatigue, and chronic fatigue syndrome after training and competitions, acute pain prevention, treatment of the sports injuries, acute and chronic pain.

Regenex Treatment improves the general state of the organism, relieves the manifestation of the disease and accelerates recovery by:

• reduces swelling, pain, muscle spasms and inflammation;
• solves sports injuries such as sprains, contusions, strains;
• facilitates movement of the joints, removes stiffness and pain.
• great relaxation, and also preventively removes stress and relieves from physical and physical tension;

All training programs of athletes should integrate Regenex Treatment because it is a valuable tool for achieving maximal results, particularly for the athletes who want to achieve highest levels of sports performance in professional sport.

Learn MORE ABOUT MECHANISMS AND TYPES OF FATIGUE, SPORTS INJURIES AND PAIN and the way in which REGENEX TREATMENT CAN HELP YOU to recover in the fastest and most effective way:

REGENEX TREATMENT ADVANTAGES

Recovery in sport is usually a period of the time from the end of the training to complete restore of organism functions on the initial level or approximately to the state of the rest. Regenex Treatments used for the RECOVERY after strenuous training either before and after the competition, as well as in sports injuries and pain, are revolutionary in the Serbian and World market, and they have advantages over other methods because:

• RESEARCH HAS PROVED THAT REGENEX TREATMENT REALLY WORKS

Positive results support the use of Regenex Treatment for fast recovery from sports injuries, central and chronic fatigue, acute and chronic pain treatment, as well as acute pain prevention. Like any training tool, you will achieve optimal results when using the technology appropriately in terms of specific settings, timings, frequency, and duration of treatment and the overall range of the treatment. The key is in the appropriate conjunction of the Regenex Treatment with a well-organized training program. Simply one use of Regenex Treatment is not enough. You must have clear goals and objectives for Regenex Treatment, as well as a plan for how and when to use our technology.

• REGENEX TREATMENT DELIVERS CLEAN, COMPLETE MUSCLE CONTRACTION

Our athletes are over-inundated with an excessive amount of physical and mental stress which accumulate and create excessive fatigue and also interfere with athletes’ thought processes and autonomic signals within their brains and bodies.

If we rely solely on voluntary strength training to prepare athletes, we are selling them short. Using the Regenex Treatment, an athlete can contract a muscle group more completely and cleaner than by classical training. Regenex Treatment bypasses the “noise” and works directly on the muscle to get a complete contraction. This is particularly important when targeting fast-twitch muscle fiber, which you can preferentially target with the correct stimulation frequency.

• REGENEX TREATMENT ENHANCES CONNECTIONS BETWEEN CNS AND MUSCLES

A muscle injury damages the connections between mind and body and thus disrupts the brain. Regenex Treatment helps to repair those connections and work through the inhibitions created by the brain’s self-imposed protective mechanisms. Use of the Regenex Treatment is essential in moving past the obstacles and inhibitions to provide maximal recruitment of certain muscle group. Once recruitment patterns are re-established and the muscle is fully restored through both, isolated use of Regenex Treatment and superimposed training, the injured extremity does not present any further problem for the athlete. In cases of both fatigue and injury, the signals between the brain and the body are easily disrupted. Regenex Treatment can not only restore, but also enhance those connections.

• ASSESSMENT OF THE NEUROMUSCULAR SYSTEM WITH REGENEX TREATMENT

Regenex Treatment can help assess the neuromuscular system by monitoring the amount of current required to contract the muscles. As the neuromuscular system improved through the rehabilitation process, less and less current was required to attain a full contraction. Monitoring the levels of intensity on the Regenex Combolift™ massager unit can show the progress of muscle regeneration (and the central nervous system) in injured states.

It has been possible to identify central neurological fatigue by measuring the difference between the subject's maximum voluntary contractions and the high levels achievable by Regenex Treatment. This aspect of activating the maximum number of fibers using can also be used as a test to identify chronic fatigue syndrome. Use of Regenex Treatment on the muscles in athletes with chronic fatigue syndrome can activate more fibers and produce greater strength than it was possible for those athletes to achieve by voluntary contraction, thus demonstrating the central neurological component as an essential factor in performance reduction as a result of chronic fatigue syndrome.

It is also possible to identify peripheral fatigue by applying electrical stimulation to the relevant nerve to make muscles twitch directly, before and after physical activity, which tells you how the function of the muscle itself has changed.

• AFFECTS CENTRAL AND PERIPHERAL COMPONENT OF THE FATIGUE

There are different modalities of the treatments used for the treatment of the fatigue in athletes. They might be broadly differentiated as being either physiological (e.g., cryotherapy, hydrotherapy, massage, compression, sleep), pharmacological (e.g., non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications) or nutritional (e.g., dietary supplements), all mean to limit continued post-exercise fatigue and inflammatory events within the exercised muscle cells and eventually an injury. For example, The use of nutritive supplements such as SR2W-1, BCAA or ornithine aspartate is not efficient in removal of the central fatigue, ^1,2 This peripheral focus emphasizes the importance of an accelerated return of structural integrity and functional capacity of the muscles.  Regenex Treatment is, unlike other treatments focusing on the central component of the fatigue, and the role of the CNS in development of the fatigue, besides the peripheral component. During the treatment, muscles are activated, and also CNS through peripheral nerves, which feel the flow of the amplified nerve signals and modulates neuro chemical motor responses, so in athletes, besides the symptoms of peripheral fatigue, symptoms of the central fatigue also disappear and athletes are ready to return to their regular sports activities in full shape.

• AFFECTS CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME 

Chronic fatigue syndrome affects athletes in different ways, so Regenex Treatment also adapts to specific symptoms. Regenex Treatment promotes the balance and regeneration of the athlete's body, which leads to the strengthening of the immune system, balancing the hormonal status, restoring muscle strength, energy, and good mood. After a relatively short time, the athlete returns to sports and life activities in full form.

•  DRAMATICALLY ACCELERATES RECOVERY TIME

In tight schedules, when athletes might not have the time or energy to implement recovery and regeneration protocols, Regenex Treatment is an extremely useful tool. Active recovery protocols that encourage circulatory mechanisms within the body help facilitate a more complete and expedient recovery. Optimally, athletes can implement Regenex Treatment with running, stationary bike training, or swimming-pool exercises, which can hasten recovery. Large muscle groups can be treated to promote circulation and to tone the muscles back to normal.

It is also important to note that athletes who used maximum strength and speed in sports activity, using Regenex treatments, felt greater progress in recovery the next day, in terms of relaxation of the muscles and mobility of the joints.

Regenex Treatment with the application of Regenex Herbal Spray^® and Regenex Herbal Gel^® also speeds up the healing of muscles, tendons, joints, inhibits inflammation and ischemia and dramatically reduces recovery time after injury, in contrast to other types of standard treatments for sports injuries involving application of the electrostimulation, cryotherapy, thermotherapy, ultrasound, massage etc. When a quick recovery is required, Regenex Treatment is the right choice!

• INCREASES BLOOD FLOW IN TISSUES

The increased blood flow to specific tissues and muscles means the faster recovery of cell function and balance, especially in terms of the interstitial fluid. As blood flow increases, the toxin elimination (intracellular H+) rate accelerates and the ionic balance (extracellular K+) and glycogen reserves are regained faster. The water, mineral salts and carbohydrates delivered by food will further aid recovery.

It has been successfully demonstrated that Regenex Treatment definitely increases arterial blood flow in muscle masses subjected to stimulation. This increase in arterial flow is considerable with the rate being four times that of the body at rest, but with the great advantage that this is obtained with no increase in heart rate or arterial pressure, i.e. with no added general fatigue. Furthermore, the venous blood flow rate is also increased by the same factor as the arterial flow, thus delivering the genuine venous drainage that is so effective against the sensation of heavy legs.

• REGENEX TREATMENT RELAXES MUSCLES

Regenex Treatment has the ability to essentially reset muscle tone and provide athletes with not only the means to contract muscle more efficiently but also to relax and de-contract muscle more effectively. This benefit is critical in explosive cyclical movements, such as sprinting, where the nervous system is required to contract and de-contract muscle in a very short amount of time, at very high speeds. Regenex Treatment can help athletes minimize muscle stiffness, cramping, and general peripheral and central fatigue.

Our central nervous system naturally produces varying quantities of peptides, which have the ability to deliver pain relief (the analgesic effect), as well as general muscle relaxation and reduced anxiety. These peptides can create an analgesic effect and general muscle relaxation. The production of these peptides is enhanced by the pulse frequencies of Regenex Combolift Massager™. In addition to this general relaxation, produces a local relaxation effect in the muscle masses directly subjected to stimulation. Therefore, toxin removal increased blood flow, and increased production of peptides (endorphins) will produce an endorphin effect (disappearance of pain) and a local relaxation effect. Muscles are perfectly relaxed and ready for a new activity!

• REDUCES THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF TRAVEL ON ATHLETE'S READINESS

When athletes have to travel, long waits in the airport—and long periods spent sitting on the airplane, bus, train, etc.—can lead to joint and muscle stiffness. Regenex Treatment can help athletes stay supple and keep their bodies well-maintained when it comes to oxygen circulation, waste removal, and even getting a good night’s sleep.

Athletes report feeling significantly better after using the Regenex Treatment unit on their trip, and have a better sleep when they arrive at their destination. In conversations with numerous teams in the professional sport, we got a confirmation that athletes who rely on their bodies for their income realize the benefits of Regenex Treatment. The schedules and demands of the regular season are so stressful that every athlete needs help with their recovery and the maintenance of strength. Regenex Treatment provides a simple, convenient solution to this problem.

• PREVENTS THE OCCURRENCE OF SECONDARY INJURIES

When the original injury is healed, the muscles are not as strong as they were before the injury. Unlike other treatments available for the treatment of sports injuries, Regenex Treatment with Regenex Herbal Spray^® and Regenex Herbal Gel^® is very effective in strengthening the nervous-muscular-bone system after repairing the injury, which prevents the occurrence of secondary injuries after return to sports activities.

• NON-SURGICAL AND NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENT

Drug use can significantly delay communication between the brain and the body, to disrupt nerve impulses and slow down reflexes. Surgical interventions result in long periods of recovery, they can prevent athletes from completing the competition season, and they are associated with many complications and risks. Regenex Treatment stimulates the body naturally to regenerate and relieve pain. Although in certain cases surgery and medication are necessary, Regenex Treatment can be an alternative or complementary treatment. Experts agree that Regenex Treatment is irreplaceable for the treatment of athletes because it works using a non-invasive device and herbal products that have no pharmacological effect.

• NO ANTI-INFLAMMATORY INJECTIONS AND PHYSICAL THERAPY

Regenex Treatment with Pain Buster Herbal Spray^® and Pain Buster Herbal Gel^® effectively treats pain, and with Regenex Herbal Spray^® and Regenex Herbal Gel^® accelerates the regeneration and recovery of damaged tissues if applied immediately after injury, and saves an athlete from the discomfort and frustration which arise from the use of needles and more efficiently leads to the desired outcome.

• TREATMENTS CAN BE APPLIED ANYWHERE

Regenex Treatment can be applied anywhere because of device mobility: in the field, in the locker room, training centers, or in home conditions.

• REDUCES THE NEED FOR SURGICAL TREATMENT

Reduces the need for surgery and treating damaged tissues before further progression of damage. The goal of regenerative therapy is to heal the injured tissue and help athletes return to their standard activities in a full, if not even better form.

• Most users can expect very significant improvements already after the first Regenex Treatment. Regenex treatment varies depending on the type of injury, fatigue, and pain, and is individually created, but the ultimate goal is the same, which is to help athletes return to their standard activities in full form!

SPORTS INJURIES AND PAIN

Sports injuries are a nightmare in the career of each athlete, and one of the accompanying unpleasant consequences of injury is – pain. Pain prevents the athlete to participate in sports activities, and when he suffers injury, he should know that there are - different types of pain and sports injuries.

• Types of sports injuries

There are two kinds of sports injuries: acute and chronic. Acute injuries occur suddenly when playing or exercising. Sprained ankles, strained backs, and fractured hands are acute injuries. Signs of an acute injury include:

• Sudden, severe swelling
• Not being able to place weight on a leg, knee, ankle, or foot
• An arm, elbow, wrist, hand, or finger that is very tender
• Not being able to move a joint as normal
• Extreme leg or arm weakness
• A bone or joint that is visibly out of place.

Chronic injuries happen after you play a sport or exercise for a long time. Signs of a chronic injury include:

• Pain when you play
• Pain when you exercise
• A dull ache when you rest
• Swelling.

• Pain Categories

Athletes have some degree of discomfort during training which, in general, is not pleasant. For muscle strength to increase, the muscle must see some increase in stress over what it is used to experiencing, and this stress is usually perceived as the “burn” in muscle during activity. This mild burn is what we call good pain. This pain should be short-lived and resolve soon after the activity ends.

The muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bones of the body are living structures that react to the stress of exercise only gradually. If they see stress too fast, they cannot respond effectively and may begin to fail. The causes of the failure can be too much stress too fast, or it can be the accumulation of excessive stress over time. When this occurs, each one of these tissues responds a little differently. This can result in bad pain.

Performance pain (good pain) tends to be acute, short in duration, and the result of the voluntary action, and therefore, athletes may feel more in control of performance pain. However, it is important to differentiate when performance pain starts to border on injury pain because injury pain is often an indication of tissue damage or injury.

Injury pain (bad pain) signals danger to an athlete’s physical and psychological well-being and can be perceived as a threat to their ability to perform. Injury pain is not subject to the control of the athlete and may be of either an acute, chronic, benign or harmful variety.

• Acute and Chronic Pain

Firstly, the distinction between acute and chronic pain is indicative of the duration that an athlete experiences pain.

Acute pain is an intense pain that is most often short in duration and is the result of tissue damage and trauma to the body.

Chronic pain, on the other hand, is best conceptualized as the persistence of pain. Therefore, it is longer lasting pain, largely uncontrollable, and continues long after the initial injury. Adaptive changes at all levels of the nervous system for the transmission of pain often last longer than their own usefulness in the protection of injured tissue. Movements and pressures that would otherwise be normal continue to cause pain even after the risk of further injury has ceased and often, even when the tissue is healed. Perception on of chronic pain may impair an athlete’s social and psychological well-being.

MAGNETIC BIKES

A magnetic resistance upright bike is a type of exercise machine that is used to build endurance and strength. Magnetic resistance exercise bikes utilize a magnetic field to create resistance, which eliminates friction from the movement and hence provides a smoother ride. 

The benefits of magnetic bike

• The primary benefit of an exercise bike is that using one allows the person exercising to strengthen muscles effectively without putting too much stress on your joints.

• The bike is also useful for toning the muscles of the lower body. Athletes often use gym bikes to cross train during off-season months or when injury prevents regular exercise.

• The magnetic bike allows the user to adjust the resistance using a dial, which increases or decreases the strength of the magnetic field.

• By pedaling exercise bike you engage the largest muscle groups, which are located in the legs. This requires that the heart pumps blood strongly and thereby trains the entire cardiovascular system, metabolism, removes toxins through sweat and improves overall health. 

BENEFITS FOR EMPLOYEES

STEPPING MACHINES AND STEPPERS

A mini stepper is a compact piece of exercise equipment that provides a moderate workout and can have a positive impact on your health by improving your cardiovascular system and toning the muscles in your lower body. These small machines offer most of the same benefits as a stepping machine, but frequently have fewer settings and some do not have handles. You can gain several important health and fitness benefits with a mini-stepper and stepping machine.

Stepping machines offer the same workout as walking up the stairs, providing cardio benefits as well as leg and rear-end toning. To get a full workout, however, you must avoid leaning on the railing and instead let your legs do the work.

The benefits of mini steppers

• The improvement of the cardiovascular system

Using a mini stepper regularly can contribute to your cardiovascular health. The stepping motion used while exercising with a mini stepper mimics walking, which is a moderate aerobic activity. In order to get cardiovascular benefits from using a mini stepper, you need to use it for at least 150 minutes a week.

• Improved muscle tone

Exercising with a mini stepper utilizes the same muscles needed to walk or climb stairs. There is a slight resistance that your legs must push against with each step. Therefore, exercising with one regularly can help tone the lower body muscles, including the glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps and calf muscles. The more frequently you use it, the more definition you will see in these muscles. You will also gain muscular endurance as your legs get accustomed to longer workouts. Remember to stretch properly before and after you workout to prevent injury or sore muscles.

The benefits of stepping machine

• Improved muscle tone

The benefits of using a stepping machine are very impressive. Which is why they are now one of the most popular home fitness machines. Using a machine like this, regularly, will help you tone your hip muscles, your leg muscles, and your upper body muscle structure. 

• Body strengthening

 Stepping machine works the whole of your lower body, abdominal muscles, toning the muscles in your buttocks, shaping your calf muscles and working your quadriceps and hamstrings (upper thigh muscles). A stepper will also work your core muscles, giving you a mid-body workout which will help you in your daily life (if you are out of shape and have problems climbing stairs without being breathless), because the stepping motion simulates walking an ordinary flight of steps. By strengthening your abdominal and lower back muscles, as well as your legs, you will find that climbing an every day staircases becomes a breeze.

• The improvement of the cardiovascular system

 Plus, by using a stepping machine for just minutes a day, you will improve your cardiovascular health so that you will feel alive and have bursting amounts of energy. A stepping machine will deliver a cardiovascular workout, comparable to the stationary bike, and BETTER than a treadmill set on a steep incline, without hurting your knee joints. Cardiovascular health is important to everyone, especially as we get older. Toning, shaping and working your leg muscles will guarantee you a cardio workout of some degree which is not hard. If you work at your own pace, to begin with, then increase the intensity and time spent on any type of step machine, you will gradually gain the cardiovascular benefits.

THE 7th WORLD CONGRESS OF THE WORLD INSTITUTE OF PAIN (WIP 2014)

In May 2014 we attended the 7th World Congress of the World Institute of Pain (WIP 2014) which is a major biennial gathering of pain management specialists. We had the opportunity to successfully present our Regenex Treatment for treating pain and its effectiveness in treating Acute and Chronic Pain and Prevention of Acute Pain. While taking part in this Congress, we had an opportunity to study other therapies. By comparing the observed treatments with the Regenex Treatment, the speed and efficiency of our treatment were evident.

LYING MAGNETIC RECUMBENT BIKES

Recumbent bikes with magnetic resistance use the principles of magnetism, ie. the possibility of a magnet to attract and repel. By controlling the electrical current flow through the magnet, you can change the resistance of the pedals by using the magnetic field. Magnetic recumbent bikes are quiet, require less effort from you and pressure on the bike itself.

Cycling offers a wide range of benefits to the body which can help build muscle strength, increase stamina, and improve your cardiovascular health, making you less susceptible to heart diseases and weight problems. Recumbent bikes offer a wide range of benefits. The technology behind the recumbent bike is in many ways an improvement from that of the upright bike. Users find it much more comfortable and it is possible to scale up the intensity of exercises depending on your objectives. 

The biggest distinguishing factor of a recumbent bike is you perform the exercises whilst in a sitting position. You need to lie on your back and stretch out your legs in order to reach the pedals. The pedal is located at the front of the machine instead of at the bottom as you will find on a regular bike. The product provides you with a very comfortable seat to give you those properties.

 The benefits of magnetic recumbent bike

• Distributes your Weight Evenly across a larger surface area 

When using an upright bike, most of your weight is concentrated in a small area, around the saddle. This makes the exercise less efficient as key body parts are not fully worked. Over a long period of time, you might experience some pain due to the pressure of your back and lower tendons. Recumbent bike distributes your weight evenly over your buttocks and lower back reducing stress and making you feel comfortable.

• Builds more Endurance

The comfort that comes with using recumbent bikes means that you can go on for longer, thereby helping you to build endurance and increasing the health benefits of cycling. Quite a number of people find cycling difficult, easily warm up to recumbent bikes as they find them enjoyable to use. This includes the elderly and those with terminal body injuries.

• Good choice for most people with neurological conditions

 A recumbent bike is a good choice for most people with neurological conditions since the bike provides a workout for individuals of all ability levels.

• Improves Cardiovascular Health

This bike improves your cardiovascular systems as it reduces pressure on the chest and lungs, thus aiding breathing. Due to the position you are in when using this bike, blood is able to flow through all parts of the body easily thereby reducing the incidences of cramps and muscle joint pains. Oxygen flow through the lungs and other body parts help you achieve longer distances and give you a healthier hearts. 

• Good for the abdominal muscles 

Once you start using a recumbent bike, you not only get to exercise your lower body area but also the abs. After a month or so, your body will have developed the necessary muscles to get the most from this workout.

• Recumbent Bike is much Safer

When compared to a regular bike, there are fewer chances of you hurting yourself. As your body is much closer to the ground you are less likely to incur major injuries should you fall. It is much easier to brake and control when cycling at higher speeds. Recumbent bikes are generally safer because you cannot stand up on the pedals.

• Adjustable magnetic resistance

The main function of the magnetic resistance is to provide quick, easy and reliable changes to the resistance level and it also allows the exercise bike to track the resistance level with the computer and display workout data on the screen.

European Congress of NeuroRehabilitation (ECNR)

European Congress of NeuroRehabilitation (ECNR), was held from 1-4. December in the spectacular historic architecture of the “Hofburg Vienna”, Vienna, Austria.

The ECNR 2015 was the European medical platform and comprehensive networking forum, which brought together medical scientists, rehabilitation specialists and industry representatives from all over Europe and all around the globe. 

Gordana Radmanovic (Neurologist) presented our new and unique treatment with presentation no. P-55 under the name Pavlov Method® - Effectively reduces pain, muscle spasms and spasticity in neurological disorders, completely new, innovative, safe and primarily efficient treatment for removing spasms, spasticity and pain in multiple sclerosis, stroke and cerebral palsy. 

Our Regenex Treatment (former Pavlov Method) showed, which is confirmed by this study, strong and lasting (strong and lasting) effect on the tissue repair involved in motor activity (muscles, nerves, and bones) and the removal of symptoms such as pain, spasm, and spasticity, without any side effects and in a relatively short time, while methods, pharmacological agents and devices presented on this Congress only partially help in the recovery and the daily functioning of patients and do not lead to complete elimination of the above symptoms and do not regenerate nerve and muscle tissue (some methods lead to the partial regeneration of nerve and muscle tissue) whose damage is the underlying cause of symptoms of neurological disorders, and therefore do not lead to the actual return of motor function (significant improvement in moving and balance and muscle tone and strength of muscles for walking, standing and other activities) as well as significantly improving the quality of life of people suffering from the above disorders.

 TREADMILLS

The treadmill is a very useful equipment because the workout activates all the muscle groups, it has a very positive influence on your entire organism, and primarily it positively affects your cardiovascular system. It is very important that you know how to run properly on the treadmill to avoid damage to the joints and connective tissue. People who had never run on the treadmill should only begin with a walk. Through the certain period of time, the feeling of instability should disappear, and you would then gradually be able to increase the speed, all in accordance with your capabilities.

What is very important about the treadmill is that you can accurately determine the running speed, ie to adjust it in the way it suits you. While running on the treadmill, you can track calorie consumption at any time, the speed of movement, how much you crossed, and most importantly to track the performance of your heart and measure heart rate.The treadmill band for running is quite soft, while beneath there is a plate that relies on small shock absorbers which

The treadmill band for running is quite soft, while beneath, there is a plate over small shock absorbers that is a great relief for the joints, which is not the case when running outdoors or on a hard surface, concrete, asphalt, etc.

Benefits

• Improved Muscle Tone

Walking or running on a treadmill strengthens and tones your calves, buttocks and your quadriceps muscles. Using the incline feature will help tone your legs even more.

If you run without holding onto the handlebars, you can even tone up your arm muscles.

•  Improved Joint Flexibility

As a moderate-intensity exercise, treadmills help keep your joints flexible. And because you’re walking on a treadmill instead of hard pavement, you reduce the impact on your knees and joints. If you have arthritis, the treadmill is an excellent way to keep your joints loose and to prevent unwanted pain.

• Improved Cardiovascular Health

Treadmills give a great cardiovascular workout and help improve heart health. Each time you step on a treadmill, you strengthen your heart. And as your heart grows stronger, you lower your blood pressure. Plus, the act of running or walking helps to get the blood flowing, which reduces the stress on your heart.

UPPER & LOWER BODY MOTORIZED PASSIVE ASSIST TRAINER

The Upper and Lower Body Motorized Passive Assist Trainer provides gentle mobilization and exercise for your upper and lower body. The assisted exercise helps increase circulation and blood flow to your muscles. The simultaneous leg and arm exercises can activate up to 80% of your skeletal muscle.

Training with the Motorized Passive Assist Trainer incorporates important movements that are critical to everyday life such as the extension and flexion of the arms and legs. This is critical so that you can develop sufficient strength training to perform daily activities and tasks more easily.

The Passive Assist Motorized Trainer is designed for those of you who are bouncing back for severe injuries or dealing with mobility issues. The assisted exercise helps increase blood circulation and flow to your muscles.

The Motorized Passive Assist Trainer is quiet and has two independent motors, allowing you to train upper and lower limbs simultaneously or separately.
