Bangalore centre offers Indo-Japanese wisdom to enhance the quality of human life
Sakra World Hospital, a Japanese joint venture and a leading healthcare organization, has launched a world class Robotic-Assisted Neuro-Rehabilitation Center in Bangalore. Patients suffering from Stroke, Spinal cord Injury with Paraplegia and Quadriplegia, Traumatic brain injury (TBI), brain tumors, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) among others will benefit from this advanced robot-assisted therapy.
“Sakra (A JV of by Japan’s Secom and Toyota Tsusho) is the Gold standard in India for advanced rehabilitation specialties, offering the best of Indo-Japanese wisdom to enhance the quality of human life. We are known to be innovative in setting global benchmarks through our high-quality clinical approaches,” Senior Consultant & HOD – Sakra Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences, said Dr. Maheswarappa B.M.
“Robotic-assisted functional diagnostics are leading the way to make practical and patient centric clinical decisions. There is strong evidence for long lasting outcome in patients with Neurological and neurosurgical conditions for faster recovery with Intense Robotic assisted therapies, along with superior medical rehabilitation. We would make world class rehabilitation affordable and accessible for all. The future is right here,” Dr. Maheswarappa said in a release on 13 Dec 2021, announcing the new centre.
Speaking about the launch Dr. C N Ashwath Narayan, Karnataka Minister of Science & Technology, said, “I am very pleased to be a part of the inauguration of this new Robotic-Assisted Neuro Rehab Center of Sakra World Hospital. We are exploring the unseen future in healthcare with such advancement in robotics and technology. I wish them best of luck for all their future endeavors.”
The new state-of-the-art center was inaugurated in the presence of Dr. Ashwath Narayan, Akiko Suit, Consul General of Japan in Bengaluru and Raghavendra Rajkumar, Indian film Actor, Singer & Producer as well as Best Actor award winner in Kannada Film industry.
World’s best robotic rehabilitation units – Walkbot Premium, Armeo Spring and Senso – are being imported to offer most efficient solutions for human movement therapy using modern technology, said the release.
Sakra Rehabilitation is the most reputable advanced rehabilitation institution, providing Prehab and Rehab as Inpatient, Outpatient, and Home-based Tele-Rehabilitation. The dedicated rehab HDU unit has resident inpatients undergoing early intervention, starting within a few days of stroke or neurosurgery. Unique technological implications facilitate a comprehensive approach emphasizing Japanese safety processes for infection control while ensuring safety from potential patient falls.
Sakra Rehabilitation Center has been recognized for India’s first Gold award-winning Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program by the Quality Council of India as well as the first centre outside of the United States to receive Quality Accreditation for its unique Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation. It has been the most preferred Post Covid Rehabilitation facility helping severely affected Covid patients to resume functional life.
The new Robotic Neuro-Rehabilitation Center is the most advanced Robotic unit in the country. Patients suffering from Stroke, Spinal Cord Injury with Paraplegia and Quadriplegia, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), brain tumors, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Guillain Barre Syndrome(GBS) among others, benefit from this advanced robot-assisted therapy.
Early usage of robotics can bring about an incredible transformation in the functional status of a person to increase the strength and stamina, body posture, gait and functional mobility. Also, there is a positive impact on bone density, bowel movements and better sleep as well as decreased pain, spasticity and improved cardiovascular fitness.
The robots established at the new Robotic Neuro-rehabilitation center are:
• Lower Limb Robotics to retrain walking – The Walkbot Premium is the most advanced rehab robotics in the country for faster recovery from the paralyzed legs compared to conventional therapies. It has the unique ankle joint mechanism for synchronized robotic-assisted movements, automated limb length adjustments and an advanced forceplate. By generating the most natural walking pattern, the Walkbot provides an accurate and superior therapeutic effect on correcting the pathological walking patterns.
• Upper Limb Robotics to retrain arm function – The ArmeoSpring is the world’s first upper limb robotic concept that covers the whole “Continuum of Rehabilitation” – from early rehabilitation to long-term recovery.
• ArmeoSenso is the most advanced technology on sensor-based solution for arm function recovery. It is useful for patients with mild to moderate functioning impairments.
Sharing management perspective, Lovekesh Phasu, Chief Operating Officer at Sakra World Hospital, added, “This is a revolutionary step in healthcare, the vision of Sakra World Hospital is to enhance quality of life by providing world class medical care which also includes robotics. Now we have transitioned into a smart hospital where robotic-assisted surgeries and robotic-assisted rehabilitation services are provided to the public.”
Located at Outer Ring Road, Marathahalli in Bengaluru, Sakra World Hospital is India’s first MNC hospital. The Japanese brand operates a 350-bed hospital, providing healthcare across all specialties such as Neuro Sciences, Cardiac Sciences, Orthopaedics, Women and Child Health, Digestive and Hepatobiliary Sciences, Renal Sciences, Emergency and Trauma Care. There are 12 integrated modular operation theatres (OTs) with cutting-edge, state-of-the-art technologies like OR integration solutions that features video input recording, saving, and displaying from a range of sources like surgical camera, peripheral camera, and MIS camera. fiinews.com
