MECHANICSBURG, Pa.,
March 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Post-acute care leader Select Medical today announced that
it is expanding its medical rehabilitation services to include
advanced robotics technology developed by Hocoma in 23 of its
inpatient rehabilitation hospitals across the U.S.
Hocoma's innovative technologies are designed to assist in
functional movement therapy, including robotic and sensor-based
medical devices for early rehabilitation and mobilization,
intensive gait therapy and arm and hand function
recovery.
"With the addition of Hocoma technology, we now have some of the
most advanced hospital therapy gyms in the country," said
Shaun McNelis, senior vice president
of rehabilitation services for Select Medical's Inpatient
Rehabilitation Hospitals Division. "Our mission has always
been to deliver an exceptional care experience that helps patients
regain function and quality of life. Utilizing robotics will
enable our therapists to help patients reach recovery goals faster,
while also keeping them motivated and engaged throughout the
journey."
Select Medical's Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation has been
on the forefront of utilizing the evidence-based robotics
technology since 2013, resulting in positive outcomes for spinal
cord injury, brain injury and stroke patients. Several other
hospitals in Select Medical's joint venture partnership network,
including SSM Health Rehabilitation Hospital, Dignity Health
Rehabilitation Hospital and California Rehabilitation Institute,
have also seen strong outcomes as a result of integrating advanced
technologies into patient care plans over the past year.
