Our Technology

We provide specialized rehabilitative services to our patients in the communities we serve. We often see patients who are recovering from disabilities caused by injuries, illnesses, or chronic medical conditions.

Our Technology

LiteGait

LiteGait® is a gait training device that our staff uses to help patients comfortably walk in an environment free from falls. The system simultaneously provides proper posture, reduces weight bearing, eliminates concerns for balance, and helps in the training of lower body movement.

Its unique harness design creates and ideal environment for treating our patients who may have a wide range of impairments and ability levels. By allowing an increase or decrease in the weight-bearing load on the weaker side of the body, we may be able to begin gait training earlier in the rehabilitation process and at a lower weight-bearing level.

Vital Stimulation

Useful in retraining patients with dysphagia, a condition that causes difficulties when swallowing, VitalStim® retrains the muscles needed to complete the swallowing process through specially designed electrodes attached to the patient’s neck. A small current stimulates motor nerves, causing the muscles in the neck to contract for improved swallowing. Repeated therapy helps to gradually retrain the muscle groups to complete the swallowing process.

Deep Pharyngeal Neuromuscular Stimulation (DPNS)

Deep pharyngeal neuromuscular stimulation (DPNS) is a noninvasive, electrical stimulation therapy for people with dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
