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.
-
- 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 H200: A wireless hand rehabilitation system. It uses FES to help patients with weak or paralyzed arms regain skills needed for reaching and grasping. FES mimics electrical brain signals and helps reactivate impaired muscles.- Bioness L300 Go: A compact, wireless foot and thigh rehabilitation system that uses FES to stimulate specific muscles that help patients walk more naturally with improved speed and balance. By providing stimulation precisely when and where needed, the device helps patients lift their feet to navigate stairs and uneven surfaces.

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.

- Fiberoptic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES): A procedure used to assess swallowing through the use of a thin, flexible scope that is passed through the nose to the back of the throat.
- Pharyngeal Electrical Stimulation: Therapy that uses low-frequency electrical current, passing through external electrodes on the neck, to stimulate inactive swallowing muscles.
- C-Arm for Swallow Studies: Radiology equipment used to perform onsite swallowing evaluations.
-
- 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.
- SaeboMAS Mini: Supports the weight of the patient’s arm and hand during therapy allowing for improved movement.
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.
