At Stockton Regional Rehabilitation Hospital, we are pleased to offer our patients the latest in rehabilitative technology and equipment, including Bioness® Integrated Therapy System (BITS) 2.0 and LiteGait Treadmill system with integrated Gait and Balance Analysis system.
Latest Technology
LiteGait®
LiteGait® is a gait training device that simultaneously controls weight bearing, posture, and balance over a treadmill or over ground to help patients comfortably walk in an environment free from falls. The system eliminates concerns for balance, and helps in the training of lower body movement.
Its unique harness design creates and ideal environment for treating our patients who may have a wide range of impairments and ability levels. By allowing an increase or decrease in the weight-bearing load on the weaker side of the body, we may be able to begin gait training earlier in the rehabilitation process and at a lower weight-bearing level.
Dynavision
Dynavision (D2™) is a device to improve our patients’ visual and motor abilities that have been compromised by injuries or diseases. With each patient requiring a personalized rehabilitation program, Dynavision enables our staff to customize programs to best meet each of our patient’s needs.
The unit can be used to improve visual motor skills such as localization, fixation, gaze shift, and tracking. While using Dynavision, our patients can improve peripheral visual awareness, visual attention and anticipation, and improve eye-hand coordination and visual-motor reaction time.
For our patients with motor impairments, Dynavision can be used to increase upper extremity range of motion and coordination, muscular and physical endurance, and improve motor planning. Dynavision can be used to successfully improve abilities in patients with limitations from stroke, head injuries, amputations, spinal cord injuries, and orthopedic injuries.
VitalStim® Therapy
The VitalStim® Therapy System is an FDA-approved, non-invasive, external electrical stimulation therapy provided to our patients who have dysphagia or trouble swallowing. The therapy is used in conjunction with swallowing exercises. By combining VitalStim and traditional therapy, we can accelerate strengthening, restore function, and help the brain remap the swallow.
Research supports the combination of these therapies to improve treatment outcomes. It has been shown to be safe and effective for patients, speed the recovery time from a restricted diet, and help patients achieve sustained improvements and long-term results.
