Several months ago, we started to work on the use of GMOVE-SUIT in order to improve the daily lives of people with nervous system disorders. These include diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Today, some people have the opportunity to use the GMOVE-SUIT in order to benefit from a “better” quality of life.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and disabling inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. Whether in the workplace or in daily life, some adaptations may be necessary depending on the disease. It is necessary to find a balance and listen to your body so as not to end up exhausted.<\/p>\n
Every day, many difficulties must be overcame (leg pain, balance problems, back pain, tension). Fatigue is a frequent element, as are some sensory disorders such as insensitivity to the touch.<\/p>\n
For the disease mentioned, there is no cure. However, compression and posture-improving clothing can help to support those affected, as can the GMOVE-SUIT.<\/p>\n
The main point is proprioception, which allows one to feel where is the body in space. By improving it, this will generate a better feeling of the body that will make possible to correct its posture and to act as an exoskeleton.<\/p>\n
Active compression offers other benefits for people with these nervous system disorders:<\/p>\n
– Pain relief. In fact, a constant low compression on the limbs will reduce the intensity of the pain.<\/p>\n
– Increased venous return through compression. The constant pressure on the limbs allows for better blood circulation, limits the appearance of edema and the sensation of heavy legs. Some people are affected by the “restless legs syndrome” which can interfere with sleep and create pain.<\/p>\n
To fight these diseases, physical exercise is one of the best solutions to avoid falling into the deconditioning spiral. It has been proven to be beneficial, which is why physical activity is recommended whenever possible.<\/p>\n
These exercises provide benefits in terms of fatigue, balance and strength.<\/p>\n
Multiple sclerosis patient for 10 years, balance problems and difficult walking (usually with a cane).<\/p>\n
“The feeling of lightness and support that GMOVE-SUIT gives me, I have the possibility to walk without help. It helps me to do things I haven’t been able to do for years, such as jumping over obstacles without help. My balance is improved as well as my walking speed. Since using the GMOVE-SUIT in my rehabilitation sessions, I have regained my confidence and I can walk longer than before. \u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
