HyperMED UPDATE Tate Kemp (Ataxic Hypotonic Cerebral Palsy)

Every child's condition is different and every case requires specific recommendation.

HyperMED Protocols are unique - we provide Hyperbaric Oxygenation combined with Lokomat (Gait Training) and other supportive modalities including Median Nerve Stimulation, Whole Body Vibration, immune stimulating supplements etc - please take time to review the following attachments to gain an insight to various disorders, parent observations and testimonials after attending HyperMED.

What is the purpose of Lokomat - Lokomat used to assist Cerebral Palsy 6 Pediatric Lokomats in the USA - 1 in Australia (HyperMED)!
National Geographic Documentary (VIDEO) - Professor Ed Cooper - Median Nerve Stimulation

The key message by Prof Cooper is the fact that 'awakening is the result of accurate repetition many thousands of times that tells the brain and spinal cord – wake-up, wake-up, wake- up, wake-up, wake-up ….’ For further reading HyperMED Australia : Median Nerve Stimulation

Median Nerve Stimulation (MNS) is an integral part of the HyperMED Protocol - application is recommend for all patients with neurologic disorders. The Cerebral Palsy and Brain Injured child have vast regions of the brain that remain underdeveloped and immature causing inadequate metabolic and signal responses resulting in 'learned non-use'.

MNS provides a cost effective yet simple home application that enables parents to continue the benefits of HyperMED saturation and training. Equally Spinal Cord patients, victims of neurologic trauma and elderly patients suffering dementia related illness can also benefit from Median Nerve Stimulation. Science supports the fact that many disabled patients have intact but non-responding dormant neural pathways. These dormant pathways need to 'wake-up!'

Effects of Intensive Locomotor Treadmill Training on Young Children with Cerebral Palsy.

Mattern-Baxter K, Bellamy S, Mansoor JK. Department of Physical Therapy, University of the Pacific, Stockton, California.

PURPOSE: To examine whether an intensive, short-term locomotor treadmill training program helps children with cerebral palsy (CP) younger than 4 years of age improve their gross motor skills related to ambulation, walking speed, and endurance. METHODS: Six children with cerebral palsy, ages 2.5 to 3.9 years, participated in treadmill training 3 times per week for 1-hour sessions consisting of 2 individualized treadmill walks, for 4 weeks, and were tested before and after the intervention and at a 1-month follow-up. The outcome measures included the Gross Motor Function Measure-66, the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory, a timed 10-m walk test, and a 6-minute walk test. RESULTS: Significant differences were found in the Gross Motor Function Measure-66 Dimensions D and E, the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory Mobility Scales, over-ground walking speed, and walking distance. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study provide preliminary evidence that children with CP younger than 4 years of age can improve their gross motor function, walking speed, and walking endurance after intensive locomotor treadmill training.
