MossRehab – #1 Rehabilitation Hospital in Pennsylvania, and top 10 in the U.S.
MossRehab is home to one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of robots and rehabilitative devices. Read more about MossRehab’s use of innovative technologies including SafeGait 360° in their 2015 Activity Report.
When given a choice, renowned centres like MossRehab, are selecting SafeGait as the only system allowing therapists to safely facilitate patient error and patient-initiated recovery. Proprietary dynamic fall protection and body-weight support technology are always active requiring no calculations or regular adjustments by therapists. The patented SafeGait Patient Management Software is easy-to-use, tracking patient performance by TASK and SESSION. Event time-stamping and standardized patient data export is ideal for research and patient comparison. And most important, SafeGait is a system where the primary focus for therapists remains on the patient rather than operating the device.
Thompson Health, the first full-time outpatient facility in New York State to offer their patients SafeGait Solutions
The Rehab Team at Thompson Health includes over 65 licensed, credentialed professionals from many disciplines. The rehabilitation specialists use SafeGait 360° to maximize the benefit and potential of their treatment procedures.
The first patient to use SafeGait 360° had suffered a stroke and experienced anxiety over the potential for a fall during previous PT sessions. He was reassured each time a fall was prevented and with every session in the system, he gained more confidence and pushed himself harder.
Physical therapist Nancy Buerman, in the field for 35 years, says the SafeGait 360° is a welcome addition to the tools available in Thompson’s Rehabilitation Services Department because it takes away the concern regarding a potential fall, not only for the patient but for the therapist as well. ”It gives you the freedom to try more difficult tasks, especially floor-to-stand and resistance walking – something you wouldn’t try with someone who has poor balance,” she says.
