Stroke Rehabilitation

I'm transferring from my previous blog to this one - so it may be a little out of order.


Thumbs Up

 Assistive Technologies’ Benefits In The Lives Of Persons With Disability

The purpose is to focus patients, families, caregivers and medical professionals on the 90-day and 6-month Recovery Myths, on the need for a widely varied, comprehensive post-acute rehabilitation program, including robotic, Virtual Reality, and wellness (like the CSUN Brown Center Of Achievement and Rancho Los Amigos programs), and mentally stimulating programs emphasizing brain plasticity and demonstratable results, as well as changes in traditional PT/OT [NOTE: VR and robotic therapy will never replace competent, caring therapists, but is a tremendous supplement/stimulant, despite some incorrect theories about recovery processes and timing].



I hope that we’ll discuss experiences with TBI, CVA and Stroke Rehabilitation - therapies, compensatory/alternative tools, concerns, anything related to rehabilitation.

I welcome all comments, suggestions, ideas about format, content and  research.
