For Patients
Our all-inclusive rehabilitation hospitals offer a complete spectrum of
adult focused treatment programs in order to assist you in regaining
your functional independence following a major illness, trauma or
surgery.
Reliant understands the importance of both the emotional and physical aspects of recovery and is proud of the caring and supportive environment we offer during your stay with us. Our dedicated team, led by a medical director credentialed in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation will provide an interdisciplinary treatment plan designed to specifically meet your needs.
Reliant offers therapy programs that represent a combination of experience, expertise, and technology that creates a comprehensive and focused vision of rehabilitation.
VitalStim® – the only dysphagia (swallowing dysfunctions) therapy backed by compelling clinical data and cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VitalStim therapy uses small electrical currents to stimulate the muscles responsible for swallowing.
Bioness H200® – neuroprosthetic system that helps patients with upper-limb paralysis regain hand control. The H200 surrounds a patient’s hand and forearm for proper limb positioning. Five surface electrodes integrated into the H200 stimulate and activate the hand. The H200 can improve hand and arm performance with activities of daily living and assist in a greater feeling of independence.
Bioness L300® – functional electrical stimulation system designed to help patients with neurological disorders affecting the lower extremities. Its purpose is to stimulate muscle re-education, prevent atrophy and promote a more natural walking pattern. It facilitates a quicker stride with improved steadiness and confidence with return to a more normal lifestyle.
Lite Gait™ – help client's regain a more normal walking pattern after lower extremity paralysis or weakness from a stroke, brain injury or spinal cord injury. The harness suspension supports as much body weight as needed to allow the legs to move in a walking pattern without fear of falling. The client's physical therapist can start them at a very slow speed on the treadmill while helping them to move their legs correctly. As they get stronger the LITE GAIT™ device can provide assistance as they move from treadmill walking to walking across the ground.
Biodex Balance System – used to assess the physical risks of falling through a series of tests. Normal balance is controlled by a complex combination of visual, muscular and neurologic systems. Together, these factors keep us from falling when we encounter an unexpected disturbance. Testing and the use of this device will improve an individual’s ability to remain upright under challenging conditions.
Bariatric Equipment – Reliant respects the fact that the human population is growing larger. Obesity is the cause of many health problems. It is essential to have equipment to assist patients to become mobile. Bariatric beds, chairs, bathroom safety equipment, ambulatory devices, standing frames, tilt tables and other special equipment serve patients over 300 pounds. We have specialized rooms available to allow safe mobility for these patients and equipment to meet their needs.
