Procedure Description

The Spiral Suit, a cutting-edge therapeutic device, is revolutionizing neuromuscular rehabilitation. Originally inspired by astronaut suits used to counteract the effects of microgravity, the Spiral Suit has evolved to become a key component in physical therapy for individuals with neuromuscular disorders. It consists of a wearable body garment with a series of elastic bands and straps configured to apply controlled resistance and assistance to movements, simulating muscle activity and improving body alignment. The aim of the Spiral Suit is to enhance motor function, balance, coordination, and postural control in patients, often those recovering from conditions like cerebral palsy, stroke, brain injuries, and other neurological impairments.

This innovative suit works by providing a constant, gentle pressure to the wearer’s muscles and joints, promoting a corrected body posture and alignment. It trains the body to establish proper movement patterns, offering targeted proprioceptive stimulation. Proprioception refers to the body’s ability to sense movement, action, and location, which is often impaired in neuromuscular conditions. The Spiral Suit helps bridge these gaps, allowing patients to experience improved motor skills, muscle tone, and sensory feedback.

The therapy involving the Spiral Suit can be tailored to the individual’s needs, making it highly effective for various stages of rehabilitation. The garment is adjustable and comes in different sizes to accommodate children and adults. Moreover, therapists can modify the suit by adjusting the elastic bands and resistance to ensure optimal support for each patient. With regular use, this therapeutic approach has shown improvements in muscle strength, coordination, and functional independence.

Procedure Duration

The use of the Spiral Suit in therapy is not a one-time event but rather a process that takes place over several weeks to months, depending on the individual's rehabilitation goals. The therapy sessions typically last between one to three hours per day, and it is common for patients to engage in these sessions several times a week. A standard therapy program using the Spiral Suit can span anywhere from four weeks to several months. The therapy usually involves a combination of exercises and movements while wearing the suit, which helps facilitate proper muscle activation and posture correction.

The duration of therapy is generally broken down into different phases. The initial phase involves assessment and fitting, where the therapist evaluates the patient’s specific needs and customizes the Spiral Suit to provide the correct level of support. The second phase involves active rehabilitation, where patients are guided through exercises designed to enhance motor function, strengthen muscles, and improve balance. This phase may require some trial and error as therapists adjust the tension of the bands to find the most effective configuration.

Recovery and adaptation periods vary among patients, depending on the severity of their condition and their overall health. During the course of therapy, patients are often monitored closely to ensure their progress and adjust the intensity as necessary. Because the Spiral Suit therapy is designed to improve muscle coordination and function gradually, it’s important for patients and caregivers to understand that results may take time and continuous effort.

Benefits

  • Enhanced Motor Skills: The Spiral Suit supports muscle activity, improving coordination and the ability to perform everyday tasks.
  • Improved Posture and Alignment: Constant gentle pressure promotes proper body posture, contributing to better stability and balance.
  • Increased Sensory Feedback: The suit provides proprioceptive input, which helps the brain to understand body positioning, aiding in movement control.
  • Adaptability for Different Conditions: The suit can be customized to support rehabilitation for a variety of neuromuscular disorders, making it versatile.
  • Non-Invasive and Drug-Free Therapy: As a physical rehabilitation method, the Spiral Suit is non-invasive, reducing risks associated with surgical interventions or medication side effects.

Risks & Considerations

  • Skin Irritation and Discomfort: Prolonged use of the suit may cause some patients to experience skin irritation or discomfort, especially if improperly fitted or worn for extended periods.
  • Overexertion or Muscle Fatigue: Intensive use of the suit without adequate rest can lead to muscle fatigue or strain, particularly in individuals who are not used to physical activity.
  • Need for Regular Adjustments: As the patient progresses, the suit will require regular adjustments by a therapist to ensure optimal support and effectiveness.
  • Limited Suitability for Severe Cases: While the Spiral Suit is effective for many neuromuscular conditions, it may not be suitable for all patients, especially those with severe muscle atrophy or joint limitations.
  • Cost and Accessibility: Access to specialized Spiral Suit therapy may be limited based on location and availability of trained therapists, and the cost may not be covered by insurance in some regions.

How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital

When seeking Spiral Suit therapy, it is crucial to select a reputable facility with experienced therapists trained in the use of the suit. Look for a center that specializes in neuromuscular rehabilitation and has a strong track record of working with patients who have similar conditions. The experience and skill of the therapist are key, as they will be responsible for customizing the suit and guiding the patient through appropriate exercises.

It is also essential to consider the overall approach of the hospital or clinic. A multidisciplinary team that includes physical therapists, neurologists, and orthopedic specialists can provide a more holistic treatment plan. Patients should feel comfortable with their healthcare provider and receive clear explanations of the therapy process, expected outcomes, and any necessary aftercare.

Frequently Asked Questions

What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?

The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.

What happens during egg retrieval?

When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment  where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.

What happens to the eggs?

In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle.  Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.

How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?

The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.

Embryoscope©

Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
