CYBATHLON 2016 - Team HASOMED finished FES Cycling Race successfully
On the 8th of October 2016 the world championship took place in Zurich: the ETH Zurich organized for the first time the CYBATHLON, an international competition for athletes with physical disabilities.
Team HASOMED participated successfully in the discipline FES Cycling. Pilot Hanno Voigt trained every day in the last two years preparing himself for the Cybathlon and took 4th place from a total of 12 with the best personal time.
TU Berlin and HASOMED developed a new concept for motion-synchronous stimulation of leg muscles for the success of the athlete. Unlike to existing systems, any recumbent trikes and ergometers can be used without extensive retrofitting for electrostimulation.

Attentional processes and auditory hallucinations - A RehaCom study
Despite the effectiveness of pharmacological treatment, residual hallucinations do not completely resolve in some medicated patients. The aim of a RehaCom study recently published by the Department of Psychology, University of Jaén, Spain was to investigate the efficacy of attention training for reducing hallucinations in individuals with psychosis.
A randomised controlled trial was performed in which 20 individuals suffering auditory hallucinations received auditory stimulation similar to their internal voices, which was integrated into the RehaCom program of attention training.
An equal number of individuals suffering auditory hallucinations did not receive this training.
Cognitive and symptomatological variables were evaluated before and after the intervention period in both groups.
Data of 16 subjects were analysed. Auditory hallucinations no longer occurred by the end of the training program in five of eight individuals, whereas their frequency, intensity and negative content and associated anxiety were significantly reduced in the remaining three.
No changes in hallucinations were observed in the control group. Attentional processes and executive functions were significantly better in patients who underwent the training than in those who did not at the end of the intervention period.
The authors conclude by stating that attention training can help people with auditory hallucinations develop an ability to ignore them, which can reduce or eliminate them entirely.

Team HASOMED starts at CYBATHLON in Zurich
HASOMED starts with its own What is RehaMoveteam at the 1st More about Cybathlon on the 8th of October 2016 in Zurich. The preparations have been carried out for 2 years together with the Technical University of Berlin and the treatment center for spinal cord injuries at the emergency hospital in Berlin.
The CYBATHLON is a competition for athletes with disabilities, initiated by ETH Zurich.
People with physical disabilities compete, thanks to the latest technical assistance systems, in six challenging disciplines.
The athlete Hanno Voigt is going to take the challenge of the distance of 750 meters, which he intends to overcome with the help of functional electrical stimulation. He’s been paraplegic for 35 years. For the race he switches from the wheelchair to the RehaBike, which has been optimized by the scientists of the TU Berlin according to the demands of CYBATHLON. Hanno Voigt started the training with RehaMove two years ago. The training results among people with paraplegia show that FES Cycling can still achieve positive results even after many years.
