GONDOLA^® AMPS: a treatment to regain movement capabilities and improve quality of life.

The AMPS (Automated Mechanical Peripheral Stimulation) treatment provided by the GONDOLA^{^®} medical device is a cutting-edge, non-invasive and non-pharmacological approach that helps to improve movement disorders caused by neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, parkinsonisms, cerebral stroke or ataxia.

The aim of GONDOLA^{^®} AMPS treatment is to improve gait disorders and balance impairments, helping to restore walking confidence and speed, which benefits quality of life.

Clinical studies, whose results have been published in international scientific journals, have shown that GONDOLA^{^®} AMPS treatment improves movement by activating the areas of the brain related to motor control. It also helps with balance impairments and can reduce freezing of gait.

In most cases, patients experience positive effects on walking abilities from the very first stimulation. The first GONDOLA^{^®} AMPS treatment is performed during their suitability assessment, which is carried out at a Specialized GONDOLA^{^®} Center.

The benefits usually remain for two to five days after GONDOLA^{^®} AMPS treatment, depending on the type of condition and the patient’s response. Regular repetition of GONDOLA^{^®} AMPS stimulation allows those benefits to be maintained over time. If the treatment is stopped, its effects will progressively diminish.

GONDOLA^{^®} AMPS treatment for Parkinson’s, stroke and ataxia does not interfere with pharmacological treatments or with devices such as pacemakers or DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) systems. GONDOLA^{^®} AMPS treatment is not a cure, but a treatment to be used in conjunction with others; it is important that patients continue to follow their neurologists’ recommendations.

The benefits of GONDOLA^® AMPS treatment for Parkinson’s, stroke and ataxia

GONDOLA^{^®} AMPS treatment has positive effects on the motor capabilities affected by Parkinson’s disease, stroke and ataxia, which cause a progressive reduction in autonomy of movement.

The GONDOLA^{^®} AMPS treatment is based on peripheral neurostimulation of specific areas of the feet by means of controlled mechanical impulses, which can improve motor coordination.

Patients who respond positively to the treatment obtain the following benefits:

1Improved balance and stability; reduction in falling risk
2Greater confidence, gait speed and rhythm
3Reduction in bradykinesia (slowness of movement)
4Reduction in freezing of gait and motor blocks (akinesia)
5Reduction in muscle rigidity and spasticity

A reduction in movement disorders and balance impairment goes hand in hand with increased independence and has a positive impact on quality of life.

The effectiveness of the treatment is directly linked to the patient’s clinical condition: greater benefits are obtained when the Parkinson’s motor symptoms are more evident and when the patient’s response to drug treatments has decreased.
