Rehabilitative Care

About

About QMU researchers in Rehabilitation Sciences have developed a novel procedure for individualised monitoring of patient’s perception of physical capability and regulation of optimised conditioning during rehabilitation. This advanced care procedure offers improved precision of self-managed delivery of prescribed rehabilitation conditioning for patients suffering from many clinical conditions. It will offer enhanced care especially for patients undertaking rehabilitation in home-based settings but also for those based in hospital. Nigel Gleeson has devised software allowing patients to formulate condition-specific, individualised profiling of functional capability and automated analysis, expert commentary, guidance and negotiated progression towards optimised rehabilitation.   Key Benefits A quick and cost-effective way of precisely profiling patients’ current status using information that is individualised and so highly important to them. The development of individually-tailored advice that will allow progression towards optimised healing and rehabilitation. Reduced costs to health-care service providers by means of optimised healing progression and reduced numbers of secondary referrals. Service can potentially be offered to a large number of patients with a wide range of clinical conditions.   Applications Clinical post-surgical care – to regulate and ensure effective self-management of rehabilitative care. Suitable for home-based and hospital-based applications. Prophylactic monitoring of sub-clinical and pathophysiological changes – to maximise the efficiency of ‘early’ interventions.   IP Status QMU is looking for partners interested in collaboration or licensing for the ongoing development and application of ‘IndREHAB’ (individualised rehabilitation).
