IsoTone Lite and IsoTone Micro as Low-Load, Feedback-Rich Adjuncts to ALS Rehabilitation
A Position Paper
From the essay
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting upper and lower motor neurons, leading to advancing weakness, loss of motor control, disability, and ultimately respiratory compromise. While no mechanical or exercise-based intervention can be presented as curative for ALS, rehabilitation remains an essential component of ALS care, especially when it is individualized, supervised, and carefully limited to avoid overwork of already weakened muscles. This position paper proposes IsoTone Lite and IsoTone Micro as candidate adjunctive tools for ALS rehabilitation in early and moderate stages of disease, under ALS-clinic and physical-therapy supervision.
