A suit of cosmonauts Russia finds a new use in muscle recovery of children with disabilities


A suit based on that used by Russian astronauts in the first space flight is proving useful in muscle recovery of children with disabilities , according to the television channel Fox 26 News through its website.

is a system based on employing the cosmonauts of the former Soviet Union to train when spent long periods in space, in order to avoid muscle loss that occurs when you find out the severity land, because you can not walk or stand.

Following this model, the chain of American Clinical Pediatrics Plus Therapy Services has designed a costume similar to what have been called "TheraSuit" and they are successfully used in physiotherapy to children suffering from cerebral palsy and brain damage.

This system allows children to be placed in a proper vertical position, which often prevents them from their disability. In this way, they can perform a series of exercises that help them improve muscle tone, posture and mobility.

With this exercise program, children with cerebral palsy have managed to remain seated without assistance, start walking and crawling, or regain lost mobility as a result of brain damage.

The method combines the use of the suit " TheraSuit " with a series of exercises, and so far only available in 70 U.S. clinics.
