BIPEDALISM / WALKING DOESN’T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE FUNCTIONAL:
🧍🧍♂️Bipedalism and walking, even when done in an assisted or non-functional manner through robotic devices, hold significant importance in physical rehabilitation and overall well-being. Some key benefits include:
✔️Psychological Benefits: Standing or walking, even with assistance, improves the patient's mood, self-esteem, and motivation. Feeling more independent and capable of performing activities previously unattainable has a positive impact on mental well-being.
✔️Gastrointestinal System Activation: Bipedalism helps stimulate the digestive system, enhancing intestinal motility and reducing the risk of constipation, which is common in people with reduced mobility.
✔️Osteogenic Stimulation: Standing and bearing weight stimulates bone formation and strengthening, which is crucial to preventing osteoporosis and maintaining bone health.
✔️Circulatory System Activation: The upright posture and assisted walking encourage blood circulation, helping to prevent clot formation and improve tissue oxygenation.
✔️Improvement in Back Control and Balance: Bipedalism and walking aid in strengthening trunk muscles, improving balance and stability, which are essential for mobility and performing daily activities.
These indirect objectives make standing and assisted walking essential components in rehabilitation, promoting not only physical recovery but also the overall well-being of the patient.
