DPA Med®: A Medical Device for Neurological, Orthopedic Rehabilitation and Early Mobilization

 

DPA Med® is a medical device designed for functional rehabilitation, early mobilization, and neuromotor training of the trunk and lower limbs.

 

Developed by Satisform® after more than twenty years of research and clinical experience, DPA Med® reproduces a lemniscate pelvic motion inspired by human gait. This three-dimensional mobilization facilitates dissociation between the shoulder and pelvic girdles, stimulates joint mobility, and promotes neuromuscular control.

 

Used in neurology, orthopedics, physical and rehabilitation medicine (PM&R), geriatrics, and sports reconditioning, DPA Med® supports healthcare professionals in the management of gait disorders, low back pain, motor impairments, postural disorders, and functional limitations.

 

 

DPA Med® enables passive or active work depending on the patient’s abilities and therapeutic objectives:

 

* pelvic and spinal mobilization;

* deep trunk muscle stimulation;

* proprioceptive stimulation;

* postural tone training;

* neuromuscular coordination;

* improvement of joint mobility;

* support for functional recovery;

* prevention of complications related to prolonged immobilization.

 

The automated movement generates repetitive mobilization of the lower limbs and the thoraco-lumbo-pelvic complex within an environment designed to limit mechanical constraints.

 

 

DPA Med® is used in a wide range of clinical settings:

 

 

* gait disorders;

* stroke rehabilitation;

* Parkinson’s disease;

* cerebral palsy;

* central and peripheral neurological disorders.

 

 

* chronic low back pain;

* spinal disorders;

* mobility limitations;

* post-operative rehabilitation;

* motor deconditioning;

* postural dysfunctions.

 

 

* bedridden patients;

* loss of autonomy;

* prevention of complications associated with immobilization;

* progressive movement reconditioning.

 

 

DPA Med® is based on research in biomechanics, functional neurology, and motor control.

 

Several scientific publications, international posters, and academic works have investigated the effects of the device on:

 

* pelvic mobility;

* shoulder-pelvis dissociation;

* locomotion;

* postural tone;

* functional capacities;

* gait quality.

 

The device is currently used in rehabilitation centers, hospitals, physiotherapy clinics, and sports performance facilities in France and internationally.

 

 

DPA Med® combines:

 

* mobilization in decompression;

* neuromotor stimulation;

* motor control training;

* gait-inspired repetitive movement;

* a global approach to the locomotor system.

 

This approach helps support patients in improving mobility, posture, and functional independence.
