Helping more people recover from neurologic disorders and brain or spine injuries
Lehigh Valley Health Network’s Neurologic Rehabilitation–1503 N. Cedar Crest has doubled in size and expanded to include new and upgraded advanced technology. This expansion meets the growing demand for best-in-region specialized neurological rehabilitation care in our community. Neurologic rehabilitation helps people regain cognitive abilities, motor control, strength, balance and mobility after suffering from neurologic disorders or injury to their brain or spine.
This state-of-the-art facility provides physical, occupational and speech therapy. A few of the advanced features of the new high-tech equipment include virtual reality, mixed reality, assistive robotic devices and interactive and immersive experiences. These advanced features help target and measure progress, optimize treatments and give patients the best possible results.
“With more expert clinicians and state-of-the-art neurorehabilitation technology, including the Virtualis virtual reality system, the Vector body-weight support track and Bioness neuromodulation tools, just to name a few, patients have access to advanced, evidence-based interventions that support faster and more functional recovery,” says Dan Sawyer, Director – Rehabilitation, Outpatient Rehabilitation Division.
The facility also supports programs like a driving simulator, a wheelchair clinic and the SPEAK OUT!® Therapy Program, developed by Parkinson Voice Project."
“This opening marks a major milestone in the vision for expanding access to expert level neurorehabilitation care right here in our community,” Sawyer says. “This isn’t just an expansion – it’s a statement about our commitment to leading the region in neurological recovery.”
