Advanced Technology Meets Rehabilitation
How advanced rehabilitation technologies help patient recovery
Our physician-led multidisciplinary care team assesses patients and develops personalized treatment plans to meet patient needs. Combining the expert training of our therapists with leading edge robotics and rehabilitation technologies, we work to improve the skills that enable patients to return to daily life and the activities they enjoy.
Discover how these advanced rehabilitation technologies help patients recover in our hospital.

Ekso Bionics Exoskeleton: A wearable robotic device that helps a patient stand and move their legs. It can be used to both help a patient regain their ability to walk independently or resume normal walking patterns.- Hocoma ArmeoSpring: A robotic arm that supports the weight of a patient’s arm and helps the muscles move while they engage in interactive therapy. This device helps strengthen muscles, improve coordination and increase the range of motion needed for activities such as eating and getting dressed.

- Ceiling ambulation track: An overhead track and harness system that supports a patient’s body weight while preventing them from falling. This allows the patient to work on posture, endurance and walking techniques in a safe environment.

Bioness Integrated Therapy System (BITS): A large touch screen digital display with programmed exercises to improve the physical, visual and cognitive (thinking) abilities of patients.- Kessler Foundation Prism Adaptation Treatment (KF-PAT): Specialized goggles equipped with optical prisms that help patients with spatial neglect. Spatial neglect is a neurological disorder that causes people to recognize stimuli on only one side of their body. For instance, if drawing an image of a house, they may only draw half a house.

- Pharyngeal Electrical Stimulation: Therapy that uses low-frequency electrical current, passing through external electrodes on the neck, to stimulate inactive swallowing muscles.
- Synchrony: A therapy system to help patients visualize swallow movements. Electrodes are placed outside the throat to stimulate muscles and provide onscreen visuals showing how well the swallowing muscles are working. Treatment sessions help improve chewing, swallowing and speech.
-
- Virtualis Virtual Reality: Therapy that uses a virtual reality headset to simulate specific environments where a patient will react to situations using their senses, movements and balance.
- XSensor Pressure Mapping: A device that uses electronic sensors to measure the amount of pressure between a patient’s body and a surface, such as a bed or wheelchair seat. Pressure mapping systems help clinicians select an appropriate wheelchair cushion to help protect a patient from damaging their skin.
- Aquatics Pool: Therapy pool equipped with underwater video monitoring so patients can watch their progression during therapy.
In addition to these advanced robotics and technologies, our hospitals are equipped with a standard roster of rehabilitation equipment to support patients on their recovery journey.
