Brain injuries can cause temporary or permanent changes in the way a person thinks, moves, feels, and interacts. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of disability in the United States and can affect cognitive, physical, emotional, and behavioral functioning.

These changes can impact both short- and long-term independence. Specialized rehabilitative care at a medical rehabilitation hospital like ours is designed to help patients regain function, maximize independence, and adapt to any abilities that may have been altered. Research supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke shows that rehabilitation can play a critical role in recovery by promoting neuroplasticity and helping individuals rebuild skills over time.
Inpatient rehabilitation programs address a wide range of needs, including:
• Decreased levels of alertness
• Eating and swallowing difficulties
• Sudden occurrences of agitation
• Prevention of medical complications
• Memory and attention problems
• Problem-solving and reasoning challenges
• Reduced awareness of personal limitations
• Social and behavioral concerns
• Mobility limitations
• Fine motor coordination deficits
• Concerns related to returning to work and job skills
Through coordinated, interdisciplinary care, patients receive specialized treatments tailored to their specific goals and challenges.

Patients who are experiencing neurological and mobility impairments have access to Rise&Walk®, an innovation that utilizes robotic-assisted technology to help retrain standing and walking.

By offering the right amount of support and assistance, the Rise&Walk® safely and effectively stimulates the brain to learn new patterns of movement, a concept known as neuroplasticity. By grading position, support, and assistance, the Rise&Walk® builds on the latest research in neuroplasticity to progressively improve posture and gait, promoting the highest-level of functional recovery for the patient.

Rise&Walk® enhances care by providing patients with:

• Early introduction to standing and walking activities.
• Easy options to progress patients as they improve and regain
function.
• Increase repetitions and time in actual walking motions.
• Highly engaging rehabilitation sessions.

The Rise&Walk® also offers a wide range of objective data for tracking patient progress and improving overall therapy efficiency.
