Askham launches pioneering robotics rehab service

Cambridgeshire care provider Askham Village Community has launched a pioneering rehabilitation service incorporating cutting-edge robotics and sensor assisted technology.

Askham Rehab aims to can enhance the treatment of a range of conditions, including spinal injuries, brain injuries, and various traumas, as well as strokes and other neurological conditions.

The introduction of robotics will allow for a more quantitative and targeted approach to treatment, as well as greater discretion when targeting key areas following neurological events, Doddington-based Askham said.

“Robotics helps to bridge the gap, increasing the frequency and repetitiveness of treatment, something that’s an essential part of the process. We anticipate that this will enable us to support our patients to reach their goals in a more efficient and sustainable way,” added head of rehab and nursing services Priscilla Masvipurwa.

Askham’s initial investment in robotics supplied by Tyromotion saw funding come from the Cambridge Combined Mayoral Authority, before the Askham board then invested a “significant amount” as it moved to secure its position as a sector leading provider of specialist rehabilitation

Askham Village Community operations director Aliyyah-Begum Nasser said: “We put the individual at the heart of our offering, and this approach is supplemented by our robotics offering. Much of it is focused on motivating the recipient to push themselves, providing goal-driven therapy that brings in an element of challenge and fun, helping patients to achieve more in a shorter timeframe.”

She added: “Delivering a high-quality service is essential and we feel a moral obligation to take steps to ensure the best for our patients and residents. Robotics was the next step in our evolution at Askham Rehab and we’re excited to be able to provide it to those who need it most.”
