Rehabilitation Technologies

AutoAmbulator
With the AutoAmbulator, HealthSouth brings cutting-edge technology into the rehabilitation process. The AutoAmbulator is an innovative therapeutic device designed to help rehabilitate patients who experience difficulty walking.




VitalStim
VitalStim® Therapy is an innovative procedure that facilitates retraining of throat muscles affected by dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing. Dysphagia is a common condition among stroke victims, those with progressive neurological disorders and the elderly.



VitalStim Experia
VitalStim Experia uses the technology of VitalStim therapy along with multiple additional modalities, including Surface Electromyography, to improve swallowing function. Experia is unique in that users are able to receive visual feedback to help in meeting their goal of achieving an improved swallow.



Interactive Metronome
Interactive Metronome (IM) is a brain-based rehabilitation assessment and training program developed to directly improve the processing abilities that affect attention, motor planning and sequencing.




Bioness H200
Neuroprosthetic and Rehabilitation Systems from Bioness, Inc., are non-invasive devices that use electrical stimulation to greatly improve walking and hand function. The NESS H200 may retrain muscles, reduce spasticity, prevent atrophy, and increase range of motion and blood circulation.



Bioness L300
The L300 is an advanced wireless neuroprosthesis that incorporates two electrodes to stimulate both the tibialis anterior muscles as well as the peroneal nerve. The electrodes work in conjunction with a pressure sensor in the shoe. This device helps reduce the effects of foot drop and increases the speed and safety of walking. Some patients have progressed to walking without an assistive device and can go up and down stairs without assistance utilizing this technology. The device is lightweight and fits under clothing, and once proper/optimal electrode placement is obtained by the clinician the patient can easily apply the device independently with one hand.


SaeboFlex
SaeboFlex is a customized orthosis that allows neurologically impaired individuals to practice opening and closing their hand with more efficiency, promoting increased function in the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand.




SmartStep
Taking the steps to relearn to walk after experiencing loss of lower limb function due to a stroke or other neurological disease can be a difficult and time-consuming process. But the Smart Step™ rehabilitation system is advancing the rehabilitation process for patients, helping patients improve weight-bearing and walking capabilities at a faster pace.


Walk Aid








Anodyne Therapy
The Anodyne® Therapy System is a safe, FDA-cleared, drug-free, non-invasive device that uses near-infrared light to safely increase local circulation and reduce pain. People with neuropathy, diabetes and peripheral vascular disease (PVD) and chronic wounds are most likely to benefit.



Reo Therapy
Delivered through the Reo Go ™, a comprehensive robot-assisted platform that facilitates high repetitions of engaging, functionally oriented arm exercises, Reo Therapy leads to dramatic improvement in arm function for patients recovering from stroke or other neurological conditions.



Hand Mentor
The Hand Mentor™ is the first Active Repetitive Motion™ hand therapy device designed for use in therapy clinics to improve outcomes in stroke rehabilitation and cleared by the FDA. The Hand Mentor™ actively involves the patient in their rehabilitation by encouraging self-initiated motion in the wrist and fingers, and assisting movement only when necessary. The Hand Mentor™ includes games and activities designed to improve control and coordination of the wrist/hand as well as to decrease tone. The games maintain patients interest and provide immediate feedback regarding patient performance.
