Rebuilding lives
We help patients schedule a follow-up appointment with their physicians in our Physicians Clinic so they can continue their rehabilitation therapy in our outpatient NeuroTrauma Recovery Program (NTRP). The NTRP is designed for patients recovering from a traumatic brain injury and provides comprehensive rehabilitation assessment and service for impairments in cognitive, psychosocial and physical abilities due to a traumatic brain injury.
Rehabilitation Therapy & Innovative Technologies
Our outpatient clinics feature state-of-the-art exercise equipment for those continuing to improve strength and function, including:
- Anti-Gravity Treadmill (Alter-G) - Unweighting therapy that uses unique differential air pressure for neuromuscular retraining for patients who can walk again
- Bioness Integrated Therapy System (BITS) - Interactive touch screen that improves visual motor skills, cognition and functional endurance
- Dynavision D2 - Large, computerized light board that lights randomly, which assess reaction time or inattention to one quadrant
- Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) - Assesses swallowing function using a fiberoptic endoscope
- Gyrotonics - Designed to take the body beyond its current limitations. We have certified instructors on staff to help clients recover quicker and more fully after an injury
- Pilates
- Aquatic Therapy
- Mobility Course
- LiteGait - Unweighting therapy to begin gait training earlier in rehabilitation process
- Biodex - Unweighting therapy system and harnesses for proper gait training
- NESS L300 - Neuromuscular electrical stimulation technology used to help patients with foot drop to improve mobility and progress towards a more normal gait
- NESS H200 - Neuromuscular electrical stimulation technology used to improve upper extremity movement
REHAB Strong: Lifestyle & Well-being
We encourage patients to maintain a healthy lifestyle after completing their REHAB outpatient therapy sessions. We also offer post-rehabilitation exercise and well-being classes programs such as:
- Anti-Gravity Treadmill (Alter-G)
- Acupuncture
- Massage
- Drivers Program
- For patients who want to remain independent, we encourage participation in our Drivers Program

AlterG
panel
The Anti-Gravity Treadmill, or AlterG, helps patients regain mobility, develop strength and fitness, and increase their range of motion and natural movement — all while minimizing stress on injuries. The Alter-G uses differential air pressure technology to provide an environment of weightlessness for mobility and ambulation training.

Indications
- Aerobic conditioning
- Gait training with neurological patients
- Strength conditioning
- Rehab post injury/surgery of lower extremity
- Balance training

Vision Technology: BITS
panel
The Bioness Integrated Therapy System (BITS®) is a tool that evaluates and improves abilities in individuals with disabilities that resulted from traumatic injuries and movement disorders. It also improves performance in competitive athletes.
More information about Vision Technology: BITS »
BITS is a multi-disciplinary therapy solution designed to motivate patients and improve clinician efficiency. BITS’ interactive touchscreen and diverse program options challenge patients to improve performance through the use of visual motor activities, visual and auditory processing, cognitive skills and endurance training.
Standardized assessments and progress reports make documenting outcomes quick and easy. Bioness Integrated Therapy System (BITS) is a hardware and software platform using touch-screen technology that allows for patient interaction with different software programs. It is designed to evaluate, treat and improve abilities for a wide range of patients with disabilities and injuries.

Doron Simulator
panel
The system allows occupational therapists to evaluate reaction and threat recognition skills and identification of unsafe driving practices. The simulator is a non-threatening and highly accurate tool for conducting assessment and rehabilitation of physically challenged individuals as well as patients with brain-related injuries and impediments. It's an excellent tool for evaluating geriatric patients as well.

Vision Technology: DynaVision D2
panel
DynaVision D2: A large, computerized light board that lights up in random sequential order, varying speed and color. It helps therapists assess a patient's reaction time or inattention to specific areas.
More information about Vision Technology: DynaVision D2 »
The system is designed to improve visual perceptual awareness, visual attention, eye-hand coordination, active upper extremity range of motion and coordination, muscular and physical endurance and motor planning.

FEES Technology
panel
Have you ever had difficulty swallowing, frequent coughing, or had to constantly clear your throat when eating or drinking? If you answered yes to any of these, you may benefit from an evaluation of your swallowing function.
In this procedure, a small camera is used to assess swallowing while a patient eats and/or drinks. This evaluation allows direct viewing of the throat without the use of radiation. Upon completion of the procedure, our speech therapists will provide immediate recommendations, including modification of food and/or liquid and strategies to make it easier and safer to swallow.

Mobility Course
panel
We provide a safe environment for patients to gain experience navigating various terrain (i.e., bark chips, sand, gravel, cobblestone and grass) during their treatment to improve their ability to safely make their way across these surfaces when encountering them in their home and in the community.

Bioness L300 Foot Drop System
panel
The L300’s advanced technology delivers programmed, low-level electrical stimulation to activate nerves and muscles that lift the foot and allow for increased mobility.
The NESS L 300 Plus specifically provides ankle dorsiflexion and knee flexion or extension in individuals with foot drop and thigh muscle weakness following an upper motor neuron injury or disease.
Physiological Effects
- Activation of proprioceptive and musculocutaneous reflex mechanisms
- Reduces muscle tone/spasm
- Produces tetanized muscle contraction
Indications
