starstarstarstarstar 		At home PT
by: Gerry

How can I find at home PT for my husband who had a stroke 5 years ago and continually gets weaker and weaker.

Answer from stroke-rehab.com: You can contact a home health agency in your area to find a PT at home. If you don't have insurance to cover it, then ask to have the PT call you (or leave a message with them) to see if they do private pay.

by: handtutor

The objective of Physical rehabilitation is to return the patients performance of everyday functional and vocational tasks to their pre injury level. The key element of Physical rehabilitation is intensive active exercise practice. The OT/ PT can also use Neuromuscular stimulation e.g FES and robot-assisted rehabilitation to improve finger/ wrist movement ability. Equally important for upper limb rehabilitaion is isolated and combined finger and wrist intensive exercises provided by the HandTutor. The HandTutor is a glove and software that provides hand biofeedback. Challenging games and biofeedback provide patients with the motivation to continue intensive repetitive fine motor finger and wrist exercises. The HandTutor is used in hospitals and community hand therapy clinics as well as through tele rehabilitation. Examples of patients that are treated include Stroke, TBI, spinal cord injury CP, Orthopedic hand and arm surgery, development co-ordination disorders in children etc.
