Story
Just to let you know that any additional money over £28k will go towards additional 3 year product plan (£3,369) and reading tray (£1,400) that attaches to Innowalk machine 😁
Amelie is a bright and determined 13 year old young lady who has a diagnosis of Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy. It is a condition that mainly affects skeletal muscles (the muscles used for movement). As a result of this Amelie has severe muscle weakness and stiffness at her joints particularly her knees and hips as well as some hypermobility in several of her other joints. She has been a powered chair user since age of 5, consequently, it is becoming harder to maintain the strength of her muscles and range at her joints, and maintain her exercise tolerance and cardiovascular activity.
The Innowalk is the only motorised standing trainer for home use which allows children and adults with moderate to severe physical challenges the incredible and life changing opportunity to stand and move.
Amelie's Innowalk Trial: Clinical Results That Speak Volumes
During a two-week trial period, Amelie used the Innowalk motorised standing trainer for 40-50 minutes daily. The clinical and therapeutic results were remarkable:
-Significantly improved sleep quality and sleep patterns
-Reduced leg swelling and improved circulation
-Increased flexibility in her hips and lower back during physiotherapy sessions
-Noticeably happier mood, improved mental wellbeing, and increased energy levels
These extraordinary improvements in muscle function, joint mobility, and overall quality of life happened in just two weeks. Imagine the lasting impact regular access to this assistive technology equipment could have on Amelie's quality of life, independence, physical health, and long-term muscular dystrophy management.
