Bungy Suit-Bungie suit
in March 2006 we have patent of Bungy suit
and Dr Waeel Sallam is the inventor of Bungy suit
which is the one of four suits present in the
international market today.
A breathable easy to wear suit designed to correct
the posture and movements of the cerebral palsy
patient. It consists of a cap, vest, shorts, knee
pads, elbow pads, wrist and finger bands and adapted
shoes that are connected through a system of
elastics and adjustable supportive straps.
The
elastics and the adjustable supportive straps put
the body in proper alignment to teach the cerebral
palsy patient the proper pattern of movement. They
also tend to approximate the joints, which will
stimulate the proprioception that gives the patient
a clear feeling of the joints, leading to easier
control of movement.
The
elastics resist all muscles at the same time so
strengthening all muscles responsible for normal
pattern of movement at the same time, also
resistance is big
proprioceptive stimulation.
The
elastics will add a load of (15 - 40 kg.) to the
already existing gravitational force making the
cerebral palsy patient learn to deal
with both loads at the same time, which will
strengthen the anti gravity force (muscles). This
will give more strength to muscles in their fight
against gravity once they are off the bungy suit.
The
elastics of the upper limbs will add a tension force
in the direction of the trunk, this will stimulate
and strength the muscles responsible for the
reaching mechanism and improve the function of the
hands.
The
bungy suit - bungie suit
’s elastics will also resist the respiratory
muscles, resulting in improving the ventilation
capacity of the lungs, therefor improving speech.
our bungy suit is differ from
other types of suits that it is most adhesive so it
act like splint to support the trunk, pelvis and
knees. also this give compressive feeling as
wrapping.
the Bungy suit in itself is nothing but it duplicate
the benefits of the exercises done in it. There are
special ex's for the Bungy suit.
All the time we improve the the function of our
Bungy suit by adding new systems.
