Motorised MovementTherapySystem - Designed for Patients Confined to Bed
The MOTOmed Letto is designed to allow daily movement for people confined to bed. With the highly sophisticated technology and design, the legs can be moved passively, assistively and actively no matter what the persons capabilities. The MOTOmed letto can be easily moved to the bedside, locked reliably in place and adjusted so that the patient doesn't have to be transferred. An ideal adjunct to physiotherapy in the home, nursing home or hospital setting.
Suitable for most conditions, ie post surgery, neurological conditions (multiple sclerosis, stroke, parkinson's disease), geriatric conditions, haemodialysis, intensive care.....

All warranty claims must be returned to us for assessment.
There are a huge range of accessories available for the MOTOmed Letto. Please see the MOTOmed Options and Accessories Brochure under the Resources tab for full details.
The MOTOmed Letto is simple to operate. It provides a large colour display (approx 11.3 x 8.5cm) with big type and graphics as well as an integrated operating guide and personal remote control. Large palpable buttons are clearly arranged on the operating panel. Sophisticated design for people who may have trouble with their vision, hands or fingers.
Daily movement plays an important role in the smooth running of many physical functions as well as a general sense of well-being. For people confined to bed however, movement or exercise is generally non existent. This does not have to be the case. The MOTOmed letto can be used by anyone confined to bed and helps counteract the negative effects that result from lack of movement, including throbosis, pressure sores, cold legs, stiff joints, poor digestion, circulatory problems, shortened muscles, fluid build up, brittle bones, weight gain etc etc.
Stiff muscles can be loosened by gently moving the limbs in a flowing motion, slowly releasing muscle tension. Using this knowlege, a particualy gentle drive system has been developed for the MOTOmed - the SmoothDrive System.
MOTOmed spasm therapy differentiates between sudden spasmodic cramps and long term musclular tension. In order to easy these different forms of spasticity, different loosening processes are required. The MOTOmed therefore provides the SmoothDrive System to help manage long term muscular tenstion and the SpasmControl System with automatic direction change for sudden spasmodic cramps.
If a sudden spasm occurs, it is detected by the MOTOmed MovementProtector and relieved by the MOTOmed SpasmControl with austomatic direction change.
The MovementProtector monitors the muscle condition throughout the training and stops the MOTOmed at the slightest sign of a cramp or spasm. Regardless of how the basic muscle tone changes, the MOTOmed MovementProtector automatically adjusts to the changing muscle condition and is therefore always optimally sensitive. If a spasm occurs, the motor stops immediately and changes direction to ease the muscle contraction.
The SpasmControl with automatic change of direction works according to the following therapeutic principle - A bending spasm is relieved by stretching and a stretching spasm is relieved by bending.
The spasm type is recognised by the MovementProtector and the SpasmControl with automatic direction change can then ease it in the following way - the motor stops gently and after a pause, the direction of rotation smoothly changes. This process is repeated until the spasm is relieved.
This function works in a similar way to power steering in a car, meaning that a 2 ton car can be steered with a single finger. This allows the user to cycle themselves, even with very limited muscle strength. This minimal strength can be targeted and gradually built up until the user can train without any motor assistance.
With this function you can have the foot shells move into position so that you are able to insert the legs as comfortable as possibly.
Firstly insert the weaker leg. Move the foot shell into position using either the "pedal forward" or "pedal backward" button. After you have inserted the first leg and secured it, press the button again to move the other foot shell into a position that is comfortable to insert and secure the second leg.
The spring-supported height adjustment and the individually adjustable bed fixation clamp allow easy positioning and fixation of the MOTOmed letto to the bed. The patient can stay in bed during positioning of the device. The chassis width is adjustable and you can drive the castors to the right or left of the bed depending on the width and structure of the bed.
This function can be beneficial for a range of patient groups (eg, neurology, geriatrics and orthopaedics). During active training, the activity of the right and left leg is displayed on the screen in the form of a bar diagram, showing the contribution from each side as a percentage. The user is made aware of his/her weaker side and can put an effort into using and strengthening it.
The greatest therapeutic success will be achieved with a movement therapy trainer if it is used regularly - where possible every day. Motivation to do this comes from noticeable results (eg reduced muscle tone, less pain, more mobility, feeling of well-being) and feedback on individiual progress.
The MOTOmed Letto provides 2 sets of feedback:
Feedback during the training: Distance covered (km), time (min), velocity (rpm), muscle tone (approx Nm), symmetry analysis (%), energy consumption (kcal) is shown in a rolling-update format during the training and can be stopped on a particular parameter if desired.
Training analysis after the training: Training time, distance covered, changes in muscle tone, symmetry analysis, work output (kcal) etc are displayed as a summary after the training session.
Softly padded and slip proof with extra high safety rim on the pedal crank side. Designed for comfortable leg insertion. Fleecy velcro straps securely hold the feet and ankles in place. The pedal radius is adjustable in two levels to accommodate for different sized users. There are a large range of accessories and options, including options for easy clean components for infection control.
Australian Standards have been developed to ensure equipment meets recognised safety and reliability criteria. To achieve this status, equipment must pass a series of tests in which it is put under difficult conditions that are designed to be similar to those that the child or adult may face when the equipment is used. For example, wheelchairs are tested for safhas gained Australian Standard acceptance, it provides a sense of satisfaction and reassurance that it is safe to be used and will do the job.
