Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital is growing and expanding its programs and services.
The Malvern-based hospital recently began a major renovation and expansion at its acute rehabilitation facility. When completed, the new Comprehensive Outpatient Neurorehabilitation Center will expand the treatment area to accommodate people recovering from strokes, brain injuries and other neurological disorders.
The center will utilize state-of-the-art technology to complement the physical and cognitive rehabilitation programs so that their patients can achieve the highest level of independence possible.”
The new center will feature a Vestibular Rehabilitation Suite dedicated to enhancing balance, strength and endurance and a Visual Perception Suite designed for those recovering from concussions. They are making a solid investment in technology and the latest equipment available that can provide their patients with the highest level of care possible in a convenient, comfortable setting.
Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital will incorporate the Smart EquiTest to assess balance control and posture stability. The hospital also will add the Neuro-Vision Rehabilitator, which incorporates Wii remotes and sensors to enhance auditory, balance and visual/motor abilities, and its third Dynavision device to address the growing number of patients being treated for concussion symptoms.
Being that Bryn Mawr will feature the latest and best rehabilitation equipment it would also include the TUTOR system.
Victims of stroke, TBI, SCI, upper and lower limb surgeries and a host of other physically disabling illnesses can benefit greatly from the TUTOR system which includes the HANDTUTOR, ARMTUTOR, LEGTUTOR and the 3DTUTOR. The TUTOR system is amongst the most cost effective medical devices for rehabilitative therapy in existence.
The newly developed HANDTUTOR and its sister devices have become a key system in neuromuscular rehabilitation and physical therapy. These innovative devices implement an impairment based program with augmented feedback that encourages intensive practice and motor learning through intensive active exercises. The exercises are challenging and motivating and allow for repetitive intensive training tailored to the patient’s performance and motor and sensory and cognitive movement ability. Customized simple and powerful rehabilitation software allows the physical and occupational therapist the ability to adjust the program and exercise difficulty to the patient’s movement ability. The system also includes objective quantitative evaluations that allow the physiotherapist and his occupational therapist colleagues to report on the patients exercise progress. Telerehabilitation features allow the HANDTUTOR, LEGTUTOR, ARMTUTOR and the 3DTUTOR to be supported by the physical rehabilitation team when the patient is at home. This ensures that the patient is motivated to do more practice between treatments by the therapists. The TUTOR system is suitable for children as well as adults.
