TheraSuit Terapy for Cerebral Palsy Patients
In 2002 a device called TheraSuitTM (U.S. Patent US 7,153,246) was designed by Richard and Izabela Koscielny (Physical Therapists, parents of disabled child, and the owners of Therasuit LLC company). TheraSuitTM is manufactured, imported and distributed by Therasuit LLC.
TheraSuitTM is the most recent and sophisticated design yet, but does not require lengthy training or special skills. TheraSuitTM was created to be used by therapists and parents alike, both during therapy time and TheraSuitTM is the only one of these kind of devices in United States registered with FDA and meeting all requirements and regulations. Currently there is more than 100 clinics around United States, South America, Europe, Middle East successfully using TheraSuit. There is more than 2,000 trained therapists using TheraSuit Method (Suit Therapy) in their clinics and hundreds of trained parents using TheraSuit with their children at home on the daily basis.
For the last five years TheraSuit has proven to be safe and effective to use by therapists in clinics and at home by parents.
TheraSuitTM consists of :
All the mentioned above elements of the suit are connected with each other through a system of elastic bands.
TheraSuitTM creates a breathable soft dynamic orthotic. Its major goal is to improve and change proprioception (pressure from the joints, ligaments, muscles), reduce patient's pathological reflexes, restore physiological muscle synergies (proper patterns of movement) and load the entire body with weight (process similar to a reaction of our muscles to the gravitational forces acting up us for 24 hours). All of the above normalizes afferent vestibulo-proprioceptive input (information arriving to the vestibular system). The vestibular system is a very important center. It processes, integrates and sends back all the information that arrives from muscles, joints, tendons etc. It influences muscle tone, balance and the position of the body in space.
