Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust are currently doing a 12-month community evaluation of the S-Press. The team are assessing appropriate patients and then leaving the S-Press with them for the week so they can continue with strengthening exercises between physio sessions.
Specialist physio quoted:
'‘Our team specializes in facilitating discharges from hospitals and preventing admissions to hospitals. I am currently using the S-press with patients at home.
I have seen improvement with patients who had just come from hospital walking with a wheeled Zimmer frame improving after about a week of using the S press to walking unaided.
Also had a patient who had just been stuck in chair only walking under supervision of carers. Left the S-Press with them for a week and on pick up. I met him walking with his WWF in his kitchen independently. What was more exciting for me was that, this patient was a chef and on my initial assessment, did not even want to talk about cooking but after using the S press and gaining improvement, I found him cooking in the kitchen on the day of review."
