Dycem ‘Noes-Over-Toes’ Mat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This week, we chatted to Chartered Physiotherapist Adam Page\u00a0about how he uses Dycem products in his line of work \u2013<\/p>\n

As a physiotherapist within the stroke<\/a> setting I have used Dycem\u2019s Non-Slip products with great clinical effectiveness. From dense hemiplegic<\/a> strokes to mild alterations in an individual\u2019s strength or grip, the non-slip products have been functional to all my patients.<\/p>\n

Recently I have been using the Dycem Non-Slip mats during treatment of a 57 year old gentleman whom had suffered a stroke resulting in moderate left sided weakness and mild cognitive changes.<\/p>\n

Having been previously very active and mobile, our therapy goal was to maximise his rehabilitation potential by having him up and mobilising with assistance within 7 days of admission.\u00a0 Such an ambitious goal would by many be considered unrealistic, even unsafe when considering the limited staffing on our wards. However, through the use of Dycem Non-Slip we were able to achieve it.<\/p>\n

Maximising the mats bright colour to inform visual attention we placed a number of them on floor as a cue for the patient to place his feet during mobilisation. Whilst two of us supported the patient\u2019s upper limb, the lower limb was secured with use of the non-slip mat. Secondary to reduced strength, a patient\u2019s affected leg will often slip from under them during sit to stand and mobilisation, unless secured by another member of staff. However by simply placing the Dycem non-slip \u2018Nose-Over-Toes\u2019 mat under the effected foot, a secure lower limb resulted.<\/p>\n

By using a number of mats the affected leg was supported from slipping over the entire distance mobilised. Whilst a number of different coloured mats ensured easy instruction by the therapist for foot position, the alternative texture with its roughened boarder helped to inform sensory feedback during movement.<\/p>\n

Easily wiped clean and reused, these non-slip products are of an absolute necessity to any physiotherapist wanting to maximise the rehab potential of their patients.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Are there any other Physiotherapists out there who use Dycem?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
