Kinesiological session in a closed cycle with OrbiTrack;
Exercise therapy
Kinesiotherapy with S-E-T
Session for active and passive rehabilitation of the lower and the upper limbs (THERA-Vital)
Session for active and passive rehabilitation of the lower and the upper limbs (MOTOmed )
Development of the vertikalization walking
Vertikalization session with walking simulator
Therapeutic rhythmic transcranial & transvertible magnetic stimulation session
Speech therapy
Session with Сhaplain
Verticalization session with BALANCE Trainer;
Art-therapy
Hardware vertikalization on a vertikalization platform with an estimation of the parameters of the main systems
Neuroelectrostimulation with carbon electrodes
СPM therapy with Kinetek Breva
