New Technology Treatment Therapy - "The Amazing InMotion Shoulder/Arm Robot"

JDT is committed to providing patients with the most effective therapy to speed up recovery time for stroke victims and multiple sclerosis (MS) sufferers.  The robotic device is designed to help patients with motor disabilities by the use of repetition exercises combined with a visual interface.  Patients operate a joystick that controls an onscreen cursor which interacts with several games designed to increase motor and visual functions of patients.

The device focuses on helping the patient correct non-fluid motions that the brain does to compensate for the lack of motor skills.  The therapy is not only effective but is made to be interesting and fun.

Patients will experience the following:

• A maze game where patients guide the cursor through a series of mazes.
• Follow-the-leader dot catcher where patients move the cursor to connect one portion of a circle with another.
• Pseudo-paint program where patients can make art through the movements of the cursor.

The robotic device assists patients throughout each activity and all data is recorded to monitor progress.  JDT plans on adding an accessory that will allow additional hand and shoulder therapy.

A recent testimonial from a former guest.....

Dear Mimi and Ed;

After spending several weeks at the Jerry & Dolores Turco Medical Rehab Center, I wanted to let you both know what a beautiful facility this is. While I completed the in house survey, I also feel that a personal touch is needed just to personally let you know how I feel about your facility.

The care that was provided to me was beyond my expectations, both in nursing and rehabilitation. The ability to access the internet from my room was a big benefit to me since I do almost everything on the computer and needed internet connectivity.

On the third floor the personal attention I received by the Nursing Staff and the Aids were extraordinary and the PT and OT staff made the rehabilitation process enjoyable. Of particular note in the area of PT and OT, I appreciate the overall efforts of Jody and Carla. Their dedication to my recovery was beyond what I expected. The personal attention I received from the nursing staff was also very personalized and I want to recognize the efforts of Walter, Rachel and the aids Alice, Nancy, Anna and Yolanda.

I should also mention the memorable delicious meals served at the evening buffet. I would like to thank you and the staff for an enjoyable and memorable recovery.

An ecstatic former guest from Lincoln Park

Its the most wonderful time of the year....
