Traumatic Brain Injury
For people recovering from traumatic brain injury, motorized range-of-motion therapy can provide safe, supported movement when weakness, spasticity, stiffness, balance problems, or fatigue make independent exercise difficult. Regular passive and active-assist movement may help maintain joint range of motion, support circulation, reduce discomfort from stiffness, and help prevent secondary complications associated with prolonged immobility. Where the person can contribute, active-assist exercise provides a way to practise movement without requiring full effort. Ex N’ Flex can be a practical part of an ongoing rehabilitation and mobility-management routine, alongside individualized therapist-led care.
