Advanced Technology Meets Rehabilitation

• Ekso Bionics Exoskeleton: A wearable robotic device that helps a patient stand and move their legs. It can be used to both help a patient regain their ability to walk independently or resume normal walking patterns. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Dallas.
• Hocoma ArmeoSpring: A robotic arm that supports the weight of a patient’s arm and helps the muscles move while they engage in interactive therapy. This device helps strengthen muscles, improve coordination and increase the range of motion needed for activities such as eating and getting dressed. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Dallas and Frisco.
• Bionic Leg: A wearable single leg robotic device that drives use of a patient’s weak leg in therapy to help regain strength and function. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Frisco.

• Ceiling ambulation track: An overhead track and harness system that supports a patient’s body weight while preventing them from falling. This allows the patient to work on posture, endurance and walking techniques in a safe environment. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Frisco and Fort Worth.
• Body-weight support treadmill: An overhead body-weight support system with a treadmill that assists patients in walking, functional activities, balance and fall prevention. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Dallas, Frisco, Fort Worth, Irving and Lakeway.

• Bioness H200: A wireless hand rehabilitation system. It uses FES to help patients with weak or paralyzed arms regain skills needed for reaching and grasping. FES mimics electrical brain signals and helps reactivate impaired muscles. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Frisco.
• Bioness L300 Go: A compact, wireless foot and thigh rehabilitation system that uses FES to stimulate specific muscles that help patients walk more naturally with improved speed and balance. By providing stimulation precisely when and where needed, the device helps patients lift their feet to navigate stairs and uneven surfaces. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Frisco.
• RT300 FES Bike: A stationary bike that uses low level electrical impulses to the arms or legs to improve blood circulation and help patients move weak or paralyzed muscles. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Dallas.
• Xcite: This portable device uses electrical pulses to activate a patient’s muscles to contract during therapy. This helps patients work on skills such as grasping or pinching with their fingers, as well as larger movements such as pulling or pushing with their arms or legs. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Dallas and Frisco.

• Bioness Integrated Therapy System (BITS): A large touch screen digital display with programmed exercises to improve the physical, visual and cognitive (thinking) abilities of patients. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Dallas.
• Kessler Foundation Prism Adaptation Treatment (KF-PAT): Specialized goggles equipped with optical prisms that help patients with spatial neglect. Spatial neglect is a neurological disorder that causes people to recognize stimuli on only one side of their body. For instance, if drawing an image of a house, they may only draw half a house. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Dallas.
• Multi-Sensory Vision Integrator: A large touchscreen digital display system that uses audible cues and incorporates hand-eye coordination with cognitive processing and balance tracking to help improve these abilities. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Frisco and Fort Worth.
  
   

• C-Arm for Swallow Studies: Radiology equipment used to perform onsite swallowing evaluations. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Frisco.
• Pharyngeal Electrical Stimulation: Therapy that uses low-frequency electrical current, passing through external electrodes on the neck, to stimulate inactive swallowing muscles. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Dallas, Frisco, Fort Worth, Irving and Lakeway.
• Fiberoptic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES): A procedure used to assess swallowing through the use of a thin, flexible scope that is passed through the nose to the back of the throat. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Dallas and Frisco.

• XSensor Pressure Mapping: A device that uses electronic sensors to measure the amount of pressure between a patient’s body and a surface, such as a bed or wheelchair seat. Pressure mapping systems help clinicians select an appropriate wheelchair cushion to help protect a patient from damaging their skin. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Dallas, Frisco, Fort Worth, Irving and Lakeway.
• Virtualis Virtual Reality: Therapy that uses a virtual reality headset to simulate specific environments where a patient will react to situations using their senses, movements and balance. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Dallas, Frisco, Fort Worth, Irving and Lakeway.
• Therapeutic SMART Rooms: Technology equipped treatment rooms that mirror tech adaptations that can be made at home from Alexa to Google home and smart plugs. These SMART rooms allow therapists to educate and train patients in the latest home technology designed for persons with disabilities. These technologies can support independence and a safe discharge home. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Dallas.
• Balance Master: Measures the force exerted by the patient’s feet when standing, stepping or squatting on a plate during therapy. This information helps therapists customize the patient’s strength and balance exercises. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Dallas.
• Adaptive Gaming Systems: This adaptive equipment allows patients with weakened arm or hand strength to engage in video games, helping them build muscle and advance coordination. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Dallas.
• Aquatics Pool: This therapy pool equipped with a lift provides a low impact rehabilitation environment for patients. Available at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation Dallas.
