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.
