Better prepared patients recover better.

Preoperative care pathways (prehabilitation) are becoming a key pillar in modern surgical care, especially in spinal surgery. Evidence consistently shows that patients who improve their strength, function, confidence, and physical capacity before surgery recover faster and achieve better postoperative outcomes.

In our latest blog, we explain:

✔️ What a preoperative care pathway involves

✔️Why structured prehabilitation supports the “better in, better out” principle

✔️ How objective, biomechanically guided training fits into evidence-based care

✔️ Why standardized training solutions help reduce variability and improve outcomes

At DAVID, we believe that objective measurement, safe loading, and reproducible training protocols are essential to support high-quality preoperative rehabilitation across hospitals, clinics, and care networks.

Let’s keep moving toward outcome-driven, patient-centered surgical care starting before the operation.

Back pain is rarely just about pain. It’s about control.

One of the most overlooked factors in persistent and recurrent low back pain is dysfunction of the deep spinal stabilising muscles, especially the multifidus. Research consistently shows that this muscle often becomes inhibited after back pain episodes and does not automatically recover, even when pain decreases.

Why the multifidus matters
- Provides segmental stability of the spine
- Activates before movement to protect spinal structures
- Plays a key role in preventing recurrence of low back pain

Traditional exercises often fail to selectively activate the multifidus. Compensation by superficial muscles is common, limiting therapeutic effect.

This is where device-based training makes the difference.

With DAVID Health Solutions spine devices, clinicians can:
- Isolate and train deep spinal muscles in a controlled, pain-free range
- Apply objective resistance with precise positioning
- Measure strength, asymmetry and progress over time

Integrate evidence-based protocols into daily clinical practice

✅ Safe for acute, chronic and recurrent back pain
✅ Ideal for rehabilitation, prevention and return-to-work programs
✅ Supports outcome-driven and data-informed care

Train what truly stabilises the spine, not just what moves it.

ACL rehabilitation requires precision, not guesswork.

With DAVID Knee Devices, ACL treatment becomes measurable, safe, and scalable from early activation to advanced strength.

✔️ Biomechanically optimised knee alignment
✔️ Isolated quadriceps & hamstring loading
✔️ Controlled range of motion and intelligent resistance
✔️ Objective strength & mobility testing
✔️ Data-driven progression with EVE software

By combining medical-grade biomechanics with objective data, DAVID helps clinics deliver consistent, outcome-based ACL rehabilitation while using therapist time more efficiently.

If exercise is medicine, ACL rehab needs the correct dosage.

Principles of Effective ACL Treatmen. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, require a carefully structured rehabilitation process.

New on the DAVID Blog: Treating Patients with Chronic Lung Conditions 🫁

Chronic lung diseases like COPD, interstitial lung disease, post-COVID conditions and even post-transplant recovery impact far more than just breathing. They often lead to reduced exercise tolerance, muscle weakness, balance challenges and loss of functional independence. 

At DAVID Health Solutions, we believe rehabilitation should go beyond the lungs. Improving muscle function, functional capacity, and balance are essential for helping these patients regain confidence and quality of life. 

In our latest blog, we explore:
🔹 Why skeletal muscle dysfunction matters in chronic lung conditions
🔹 The importance of safe, objective assessment and measurable training
🔹 How DAVID’s medical training systems support evidence-based lung rehabilitation
🔹 Strategies to help patients move from limitations to capabilities

This blog is a must-read for clinicians, physiotherapists and healthcare leaders striving to deliver more effective pulmonary rehabilitation.

Patients with chronic lung conditions such as COPD, interstitial lung disease, post-COVID syndromes and post- lung transplantation often experience limitations that extend far beyond impaired lung function.

Knee Replacement and Physiotherapy: How DAVID Technology Supports Recovery Before and After Surgery

Preoperative strength and mobility predict up to 58% of functional recovery after a knee replacement. Early, controlled strength training after surgery is safe and highly effective.

That is precisely where the DAVID knee solution makes the difference. With precise ROM control, objective strength measurements, and fully guided resistance, DAVID technology helps clinicians deliver a structured and measurable rehabilitation program that supports:
• Better preparation before surgery
• Safer and more controlled recovery after surgery
• Faster return to daily activities
• Clear progress monitoring through the EVE software

A modern knee-replacement rehab pathway should be data-driven, personalised, and built on objective outcomes — and that is what DAVID provides.

Why biomechanics matter in osteoarthritis rehabilitation.

When treating joint degeneration, precision matters. Even the slightest misalignment in training equipment can cause abnormal joint loading, discomfort, and slower recovery.

That’s why biomechanically designed devices are not just a technical detail; they’re the foundation of safe and effective rehabilitation.

At DAVID Health Solutions, every device is engineered to respect the body’s natural axes of rotation, optimise loading curves, and guide movement safely within pain-free limits. Supported by decades of research and clinical studies, our approach ensures that every repetition contributes to healing, not harm.

👉 Read our latest blog to discover how DAVID integrates biomechanics into the design of its equipment, and why this is essential for people with osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint conditions.

A Holistic Approach to Chronic Low Back Pain: The DAVID Spine Solution Through the Biopsychosocial Lens

Chronic low back pain remains one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, but the solution is not only physical. It’s about understanding the person behind the pain. At DAVID Health Solutions, we combine science, data, and human insight through the DAVID Spine Solution. This personalised, data-driven spine program addresses the biological, psychological, and social dimensions of recovery.

📊 Studies show significant improvements in pain, strength, and confidence when patients train with measurable feedback and structured progression.
The result: sustainable outcomes, higher self-efficacy, and reduced fear of movement.

From pain management to active rehabilitation, technology meets the biopsychosocial model.

New Data Confirms Strong Functional Gains with the DAVID Spine Program

Preliminary results from a recent analysis in the Netherlands confirm what clinicians around the world experience every day — the DAVID Spine Program delivers significant functional improvements for people with chronic neck and back pain.

📊 Key findings from 447 participants:
• Back pain: ODI improved by 5.9 points (Cohen’s d = 0.91); 58% reached ≥ 30% functional improvement
• Neck pain: NDI improved by 3.1 points (Cohen’s d = 0.60); 35% reached ≥ 30% improvement
• Fear of movement (TSK) decreased significantly (≈ 5.5 points)
• Isometric trunk strength gains were large across all directions (d = 1.13 median)

These outcomes highlight how structured, device-guided spine training can help patients regain function, confidence, and control — even in real-world settings outside traditional hospitals.
