D-ACTOR^®Muscular Massage

^{D-ACTOR® is a patented treatment head of MASTERPULS series Radial Shockwave Therapy System. It generates both radial shockwave and infrasonic wave. Studies and clinical practice show this strong vibration-like energy effective in relieving muscle tone to reduce spasticity.}
 

^{HYPER-GRAVITY STIMULATION TRAINING (HGST)}

^{Resistance training to strengthen quadriceps muscles is known to help improving walking ability in Cerebral Palsy patients.}

^{HGST is a new form of resistance training. It utilizes high frequency hyper-gravity load to impact exerciser, inducing involuntary reflex (stretch reflex) to trigger large amount of EMG activities (muscle contraction).}

^{A study done in Sweden showed HGST helps to reduce spasticity in knee extensors, increase muscle strength and increase gross motor function as good as conventional resistance training.}

^{The advantage of HGST is that it is done in static positions which is believed to be easier to perform by CP children. Besides, a session of HGST requires only 10 ~ 20 mins.}
