Medical - Medical: Instruments / physical therapy
French term or phrase: motobar
In the list of discharge treatment and prescriptions, I find this from a French hospital for a patient without much mobility in the legs:

Mobilisation autorisée avec corset pour aller sur le motobar

My research overwhelmingly turns up bars (for drinking) or motor cycle parts, etc. In the abstract of a German article about therapy for the knee, I found a phrase about passive therapy on a 'motor bar'. Is anyone familiar with this? I only find one reference.

Thanks. (My client is in the U.S.)

neutral  SJLD: surely they would call this a "tapis" - do you have any evidence that the "motobar" is this?

Never heard / seen the term 'motobar' and it has absolutely no hits on the internet in terms of your context

What causes the impaired mobility in this patient? A stroke, corrective spinal chord surgery, knee or hip replacement surgery, cerebral palsy? Why would this patient have to wear a corset to walk on a "motobar"? Does the patient have to do "gait training" as SJLD suggests here, or is the contraption simply prescribed to assist this patient in moving about? Answers to these questions should point you in the right direction as to whether this patient requires a gait trainer or a wheeled walker.

Notes to answerer
Asker: In a related letter, a different doctor in the same department writing about the same patient uses 'déambulateur à roues'. My question to you is: have you ever actually heard/seen the term 'motobar' or is this an educated guess? My impression would be that it was somehow motorized.

gait trainer


Explanation:
As a generic solution - since we don't know what the motobar is exactly, but it's highly likely to be a gait training apparatus.
