MECHANICSBURG, Pa., March 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Post-acute care leader Select Medical today announced that it is expanding its medical rehabilitation services to include advanced robotics technology developed by Hocoma in 23 of its inpatient rehabilitation hospitals across the U.S.
Hocoma's innovative technologies are designed to assist in functional movement therapy, including robotic and sensor-based medical devices for early rehabilitation and mobilization, intensive gait therapy and arm and hand function recovery.
"With the addition of Hocoma technology, we now have some of the most advanced hospital therapy gyms in the country," said Shaun McNelis, senior vice president of rehabilitation services for Select Medical's Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospitals Division. "Our mission has always been to deliver an exceptional care experience that helps patients regain function and quality of life. Utilizing robotics will enable our therapists to help patients reach recovery goals faster, while also keeping them motivated and engaged throughout the journey."
Select Medical's Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation has been on the forefront of utilizing the evidence-based robotics technology since 2013, resulting in positive outcomes for spinal cord injury, brain injury and stroke patients. Several other hospitals in Select Medical's joint venture partnership network, including SSM Health Rehabilitation Hospital, Dignity Health Rehabilitation Hospital and California Rehabilitation Institute, have also seen strong outcomes as a result of integrating advanced technologies into patient care plans over the past year.
