Do you ever wonder how seriously your patients
are taking their injury?
Many injured individuals do not ice
and/or apply heat as often as prescribed and many return to work
or the playing field prematurely healed. By encouraging the patient
to take responsibility for their injury and completely heal, their
risk for re-injury greatly decreases.
TheraPad is an ice/heat pack with
an attached sensor that monitors how often, how long and at what
temperature the patient is taking care of their injury. The sensor,
located on the reusable ice/heat pack, will relay information
to a computer and will give the patient, doctors, physical therapists,
and or athletic trainers insight on the healing process. Since
every individual heals at a different rate, TheraPad can help
doctors, physical therapists and athletic trainers design a correct
rehabilitation program. |
