Light therapy to facilitate neurorehabilitation

Post stroke effects may create mood or sleep disorders that subsequently have a negative impact on the rehabilitation progress.
The Philips VitalSky light therapy system is designed to reestablish a balance of the sleep/wake cycle through natural light stimulation. By diffusing natural light, the body’s production of melatonin, a sleep hormone, is stopped. It's main function is to regulate biological rhythms.

Consequently, light therapy plays a supportive role in helping patients to regain healthier sleep patterns. In this way they are in a more serene state of mind and can better undertake their rehabilitation program.
