Ubique / HabilUp connected equipment

Testimonial from Anne-Cécile Larricq, occupational therapist in Clermont-Ferrand: “I qualified as an occupational therapist in Clermont-Ferrand in 2018 and have worked at the Maison de Santé Pluri-professionnelle (MSP) des Dômes in Clermont-Ferrand since September 2021. The MSP has a technical platform for physiotherapists with balneotherapy and a GEO robot. My physiotherapist colleagues support many children with cerebral palsy, in intensive or daily rehabilitation.

To support these patients better, I trained in the CO-OP approach with Cécilia Galbiati at the end of 2021. In January 2022, I also trained specifically in cerebral palsy with Adeline Avril, a qualified occupational therapist. At the same time, I wanted to develop my rehabilitation tools so that I could offer children several complementary techniques. That is why I asked the EnoRev association to buy the HabilUp device, which offers tablet games with sensors on the joints to work on specific movements. A big thank you to Enorev for supporting this project!”

Equipment & games for the HABIT-ILE method

Yannick Bleyenheuft, a researcher in motor sciences at the Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium), and her research group developed in 2011 an intensive, play-based rehabilitation method called HABIT-ILE (Hand and Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities).

HABIT-ILE is first and foremost a play-based method, and that’s what we like about it! The aim is to stimulate the child constantly through games chosen to meet functional goals set by the family. The idea is to trigger exclusively voluntary movements (no guidance or movement facilitation) with gradually increasing difficulty. More information: HABIT-ILE method.

The Enorev’ association made a donation to this team to buy equipment, because we want to encourage doctors who strive to show that intensive, playful stimulation gets results.

Go-To-Ski

The Go-To-Ski lets people with disabilities ski STANDING UP. Marc Gostoli is the builder and inventor of this great system.

Standing up and racing down the slopes with the same gliding sensations as an able-bodied skier is better than a dream!

It is based at La Pierre Saint-Martin (a ski resort in the Pyrenees) and run by the association La Pierre Handis Pyrénées, which has 3 sizes, from toddler to adult. EnoRev’ is proud to have contributed financially, and other ski resorts are also equipped, in the Alps for example.

Feedback from Clet and his mum: “I watched the instructors being trained, tested the machine and finally became a driver myself (to accompany Clet on the snowy slopes!). So many thrills and so much shared joy on the snowy slopes! Always believe in your dreams and do everything to make them come true!!”

Snoezelen room

EnoRev’ is proud to have contributed financially to creating a Snoezelen space at the Mille Pattes multidisciplinary practice in Montgiscard (31).

The goal? To offer a soothing place, a little refuge between sessions, where children can relax in a special sensory atmosphere. The aim is to let people with special needs explore the equipment in a cosy space while stimulating their senses.

It includes equipment such as lights, music, cushions, materials with different textures to handle, and mirrors.

Equipment – practice of 2 occupational therapists in Lyon: Elsa Thevenon and Adeline Avril.

In 2017, EnoRev’ bought equipment for the motor-skills room at the practice of Elsa Thevenon and Adeline Avril, 2 occupational therapists trained (among other things) in the CME-Medek method.

“A huge thank you to the association for this boost. It’s really great. We are delighted that we will be able to offer the children other kinds of stimulation and enrich what we do. It’s very touching that associations like yours get involved to support professionals in every way. It’s a real boost when we put so much into our practice.”

For those who want to equip themselves, here is the list of items:

• To vary the stimulation offered, especially for the ankles: http://botapis.fr/produit/module-tapis-bosses-associatif-sarneige/
• Suction balls to vary grips, for work facing the wall, etc. http://botapis.fr/produit/thera-bolly-lot-de-28-balles-ventouses/
• This board is useful in many situations: sensory integration, upper-limb strengthening, a reward for “sliding”, crawling work… http://www.hoptoys.fr/jeux-moteurs-pour-tous/la-planche-de-surf-p-6378.html?search_query=planche+de+surf&results=1
• This kind of panel is useful for children with high sensory needs who struggle to stay motivated during exercises. It makes exercises more fun and visually appealing. http://www.hoptoys.fr/nouveautes-declinaisons-2017/product-p-12403.html?search_query=plaques&results=23
• Indoor frame for a range of activities for sensory integration, gross motor skills work, etc. http://www.hoptoys.fr/stimulation-vestibulaire/portique-d-interieur-p-9459.html?search_query=portique+d%27interieur&results=1
• Dog stairs, because it’s cheaper when it’s not labelled “disability”. http://www.cdiscount.com/animalerie/chiens/trixie-escalier-petstair-bouleau-pour-chien/f-1621004-tri4011905039435.html#mpos=1%7Ccd
• To work on slopes closer to everyday situations, proprioception and harder challenges (walking between or on the balls, or moving a ball with the foot along the river board, etc.) http://botapis.fr/produit/sportbox-rectangle-76-cm/ which goes with http://botapis.fr/produit/planche-parcours-riviere/ and http://botapis.fr/produit/planche-parcours-sol-forestier/
• Rhythm ladder to work on step length, stepping over and sideways steps. http://botapis.fr/produit/echelle-de-rythme-4-m/
• Fun, motivating balls to create a variety of gross motor activities. http://botapis.fr/produit/lot-de-10-balles-a-sensation-therapie/
