Our Technology

We provide specialized rehabilitative services to our patients in the communities we serve. We often see patients who are recovering from disabilities caused by injuries, illnesses, or chronic medical conditions.

Our 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.

BITS® (Bioness Integrated Therapy System)

BITS is a tool that evaluates and improves abilities in individuals with disabilities that resulted from traumatic injuries and movement disorders. BITS is a multi-disciplinary therapy solution designed to motivate patients and improve clinician efficiency. BITS’ interactive touchscreen and diverse program options challenge patients to improve performance through the use of visual motor activities, visual and auditory processing, cognitive skills and endurance training.

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.

EksoNR™

EksoNR™, manufactured by Ekso Bionics®, is a wearable robotic exoskeleton that helps patients with stroke, acquired brain injury, spinal cord injury, and multiple sclerosis stand and relearn to walk in a rehabilitation setting with a trained physical therapist. It is the first robotic exoskeleton to be FDA cleared for use with stroke patients and with SCI patients. EksoNR™ is also the only exoskeleton to be FDA cleared for use with acquired brain injury and multiple sclerosis (MS) patients.

The wearable device augments strength to help patients stand and relearn to walk, while gaining confidence and freedom. Stockton Regional Rehabilitation Hospital uses the device to mobilize patients earlier in their rehabilitation, for optimal outcomes.

This cutting-edge exoskeleton technology helps patients get back on their feet sooner to re-learn correct step patterns, weight shifting, and posture.
