Severe osteoporosis: risk of fractures
Fractures: Do not carry out training with unstable or still inadequately
consolidated fractures
Relative Contraindications:
Each patient has to be conscientiously assessed by the doctor/therapist in charge
individually to determine if PABLO®
therapy is suitable for the patient in case of:
Apraxia
Arthritis
Reduced compliance: e.g. children, patients with cognitive impairments
Consolidated fractures
Epilepsy
Heart pacemakers and similar devices/implants: Pacemakers can react
differently to external influences. Therefore, the knowledge about possible
dangerous influences relevant for each specific device is essential. The PABLO®
system does not influence heart pacemakers if the distance between
pacemaker and device is more than 15 cm.
Infections
Joint problems: Repetitive training may cause pain and irritation in case of weak
joints.
Neglect
Osteoporosis
Orthostatic circulatory problems
Pain, e.g. complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
Sensory disorders: Patients with sensory impairment cannot report potentially
occurring pain.
Skin problems: Before and after every training carefully check for any skin
problems, existing wounds, pressure marks, and/or skin ulceration, in particular
of body regions in contact with the device.
Swellings of the upper extremity
Is the system suitable for the intended therapy:
Continual checking of the therapy success of the patient. Stop of the
treatment if there is a sign of disproportional worsening of the
patient’s condition.
