but yeah, i was in the car park and i was run down by a car. at the time of the accident, ruby had been carrying 5—month—old son leon, instinctively throwing him to safety. but the crash left her, a nurse on maternity leave at the time, facing a series of operations and intensive rehabilitation. the first three weeks in hospital, it sjust a blur. i don t remember waking up, i don t remember who told me i d had my leg amputated. in my head ijust thought, i lljust learn how to walk again, i ll get a fake leg, a prosthetic leg, and then that would be that. i didn t realise how hard it was actually going to be. now at a live—in rehab centre called steps, she is receiving a variety of conventional treatments as well as a new video game inspired therapy called mindpod.
now at a live—in rehab centre called steps, she is receiving a variety of conventional treatments as well as a new video game inspired therapy called mindpod. it looks amazing. yeah, it is. the painting is beautiful as well, isn t it? it is, lovely. dolphin squeaks mindpod is a form of what s known as neuro—animation. it gamifies treatment by using motion sensors and cameras to track the patient s movements as they direct this dolphin. i m just learning how to balance my body. along with traditional methods like physiotherapy and hydrotherapy, it aims to help improve the physical and cognitive functions of people who have experienced a serious injury. did you ever imagine at the start of your recovery that you would be using games? no, i had no idea, especially
yeah, because you re so into the game. and being in that room, with the lighting and colours, itjust takes you away, so it s helping, yeah, balance, coordination, stability, core stability. it reflects on, like, say, if i was in the kitchen, reaching for things up in the cupboards, down below. and ruby s commitment, combined with the access to this technology, has accelerated her progress. wow, that was great! how do you feel at the end of a session? tired. laughs tired — you don t realise how much you ve actually worked out on my arms, my balance — evenjust standing. yeah. and you didn t really think about the fact that you were... crosstalk no, you re just into the game. already, some studies have shown that mindpod can be twice as effective as traditional rehab treatments... 0h! don t know how i hit that one!
and hopefully, ruby s access to digital therapeutics will play its part in making that a reality sooner rather than later. oh, my gosh! what a story — and how incredible is ruby? i know, she was an absolute joy and so grateful for all the positives, really a lesson to all of us. and good news — she s recovering well, she managed to go home for a weekend and in about a month or two, she s going to have the cage off her leg. oh, how fantastic! did you try the mindpod yourself? i did, i had a go off—camera and it s actually a lot harder than it looks. chuckles it takes a lot of concentration, which makes you stop thinking about how your body is moving, which is part of the idea. yeah, how brilliant is that? we re learning so much more about how technology can be used in rehabilitation, and omar mehtab has been looking into a new form of light therapy, which, it s hoped in the future, could be used in rehabilitation, but for the moment, is being used to help hone the performance of athletes.
