ADVANCED THERAPEUTIC TECHNOLOGIES

Make the Simple Possible

Entering rehabilitation, patients are typically laser focused on getting back to life’s simple pleasures — activities that are often taken for granted like walking a dog or driving a car. For one young patient named Hayden, it was fishing. Today’s therapeutic technologies are making those simple pleasures possible.

In the hands of our clinicians, leading-edge equipment, such as the Bioness Vector bodyweight support system, virtual reality, Motek RYSEN, Neofect Smart Pegboard, and Tyromotion DIEGO, helps patients get the most benefit from their time in therapy.

Using a variety of technology in combination with a rod and reel, Hayden’s care team designed therapy sessions that simulated fishing right in the therapy gym. They also customized his treatment around other things he loves such as playing games and making sushi.

In addition to allowing patients to practice activities that bring them joy, clinicians can use technology to measure progress and adjust treatment as needed. Ultimately, technology empowers therapists to achieve their professional calling—helping patients achieve the best possible outcomes.

Hayden has made a full recovery and is once again enjoying one of his favorite activities thanks to the dedication of his care team combined with advanced therapeutic technology.

Functional improvement is a multifaceted measurement of physical skills and abilities between admission and graduation. On average, patients who receive inpatient rehabilitation from Sheltering Arms Institute accomplish gains in mobility and selfcare that are significantly greater than the national average.
