Specialty equipment can enhance recovery

At Bridgeway, we have the following equipment available to assist with your therapy

Equipment

ETAC Standard Pivot Device

A sit-to-stand device, ETAC Turner PRO is a turn aid with a functional design that offers safe patient turning with standing support. It encourages natural standing and sitting movement. The high-contrast, orange handle can assist users with impaired vision or dementia. ETAC is highly recommended when patients are discharged to help caregivers with safe transfers.

Kinesio Taping

The Kinesio Taping Method, a unique method of applying Kinesio Tape, can create physiological effects on the circulatory/lymphatic, neural, muscular and fascial systems, as well as the joints. Kinesio Taping is used by to change muscle tone, move lymphatic fluids, correct movement patterns, and improve posture.

Kinevia Duo Whole Body Trainer

The Kinevia Duo Active Passive Trainer is a complete rehabilitation device for the whole body. Various training modes make it the ideal companion for neurologic and orthopedic rehabilitation. It features an ingenious rotating system for the arm exerciser, providing optimum comfort during both arm and leg treatment. Pre-set programs feature basic modes (active, passive, assisted, symmetry), as well as a selection of common pathologies including Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cardio etc. A user-friendly interface helps guide the patient through therapy and provides instant feedback.

Lymphedema Management

Lymphedema refers to swelling that generally occurs in one of your arms or legs. Sometimes both arms and both legs are affected.  Lymphedema is most commonly caused by the removal of, or damage to your lymph nodes, as a part of cancer treatment. It results from a blockage in the lymphatic system, which is part of the immune system. The blockage prevents lymph fluid from draining well, and the fluid buildup leads to swelling.

Nu Step

Nu Step simultaneously works upper and lower body on a total body recumbent stepper, which improves both cardiovascular and muscular fitness. Used for all conditions, this machine helps to increase reciprocal coordination of extremities, provides visual feedback to the patient on their performance, sets a target goal, and effectively motivates performance safely and effectively. The most popular recumbent cross trainer in the healthcare and fitness industries, it combines a comfortable sitting position with a smooth-stepping motion. It provides simultaneous upper and lower body motion to work all the major muscle groups, helping users burn calories, build strength and improve overall cardiovascular fitness. Nu Step simulates a natural walking motion, while eliminating undesirable joint stress and promoting functional fitness. Its ergonomic design accommodates nearly every body type and size, includes a swivel seat for easy transfer, and features a large, easy-to-read display.

OmniVR

OmniVR is a Virtual Reality Augmented Therapy System. It is a biofeedback machine that facilitates dynamic, sitting and standing balance; proprioception; and coordination to increase stability in sitting, standing and walking. Omni VR facilitates reactive, proactive, and anticipatory righting reactions, which then increase stability during locomotion, ambulation and getting up from one surface to another, reducing the risk of loss of balance and preventing incidents of fall. Activities in Omni VR correlate to function with different programs catering to patient’s needs and impairments.

Parallel Bars

Parallel Bars  Parallel Bars are medical devices used in physical and occupational rehabilitation therapy to assist individuals in re-learning to walk and for gait training, as well as to regain balance, strength, range of motion, and mobility.

Pulley System

The Pulley System is great for recovery after surgery or injuries, or for improving strength and mobility. It enhances range of motion for arthritis, tendonitis, frozen shoulder syndrome, rotator cuff injury, and bursitis.

Q-pads

Q-pads is an interactive rehabilitation system providing visual feedback via a pressure sensitive surface and bright multi-colored LED lights. It’s sensitive enough to register a child’s touch, and strong enough to display weight bearing of a 330-pound adult. Q-pads is used for weight-bearing training, providing visual feedback and dynamic balancing for UE and BLE to increase dynamic sitting and standing balance.

Sonicator 740 Ultrasound

This ultrasonic therapy device consists of a generator and a transducer. The generator produces the electrical drive output to the transducer and provides measurement of its ultrasonic output. The transducer converts the electrical energy from the generator into mechanical vibrations, known as ultrasonic vibrations. These vibrations are then coupled to the patient’s tissue via a coupling medium such as ultrasonic gel, water or mineral oil. When electro stimulation is used simultaneously with the ultrasound through the transducer, the coupling medium must also be conductive. Adjunctive therapy is for the treatment of pain, soft tissue injury and joint dysfunction, including osteoarthritis, periathritis, bursitis, tenosynovitis, and variety of musculoskeletal syndromes. It is a deep heating modality.

Standing Frame

A standing frame, also known as a standing aid or stander, is specifically designed for wheelchair users. This alternative positioning device helps to support physically challenged individuals with mild to severe disabilities, including paraplegia and quadriplegia. This act of ‘passive’ standing helps these individuals reap the physical, emotional and mental health benefits that this movement provides, and reduces the health risks and dangers often associated with prolonged sitting.

Sys Stim 228 Electrical Stimulation

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) or electromyostimulation, is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electric impulses. It is used for pain, and to improve circulation and neuromuscular reeducation. The impulses are generated by a device and are delivered through electrodes on the skin near to the muscles being stimulated. The electrodes are generally pads that adhere to the skin. The impulses mimic the action potential that comes from the central nervous system, causing the muscles to contract.

TD Infrared Lamp

An electromagnetic spectrum treatment instrument, the TDP therapeutic apparatus uses the effect of temperature on the human body to produce dozens of useful micro electromagnetic waves. Through the thermal biological effects in the human body, it improves the variety of enzymes in the body, promotes the body’s absorption of trace elements, repairs and clears the micro-circulation channel, and improves the body’s own immune function and disease resistance. The irradiation of a specific point or affected area, achieves the purpose of treatment. The heat lamp provides warmth for therapeutic heat treatments to alleviate pain, spasm and facilitate circulation.

Vestibular Therapy

Vestibular rehabilitation (VR), or vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is a specialized form of therapy intended to alleviate the primary and secondary problems caused by vestibular disorders. It is an exercise-based program designed to reduce vertigo and dizziness, gaze instability, and/or imbalance and falls. For most people with a vestibular disorder, the deficit is permanent because the amount of restoration of vestibular function is very small. After vestibular system damage, people can feel better, and function can return through compensation. This occurs because the brain learns to use other senses (vision and somatosensory, i.e. body sense) to substitute for the deficient vestibular system. The health of particular parts of the nervous system (brainstem and cerebellum, visual, and somatosensory sensations) is important in determining the extent of recovery that can be gained through compensation.
