Hand Therapy
Therapists provides occupational therapy and rehabilitation to patients who suffer from conditions affecting the hands and upper extremities. Therapy enables patients to hasten their return to a productive lifestyle.
Patients who are candidates for hand therapy may have been affected by an accident or trauma leaving them with wounds, scars, burns, injured tendons or nerves, fractures, or even amputations of the fingers, hands or arms. Others include patients who suffer from conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow, as well as from chronic problems such as arthritis or a neurologic condition (i.e. stroke).
If surgery is needed, hand therapists can also help with a patient’s recovery. This may include assistance with helping wounds heal, preventing infection, scar management and reducing swelling.
VitalStim® Therapy
The VitalStim® Therapy System is an additional method of therapy, performed by a Certified Speech Therapist, which unites the power of electrical stimulation with the benefits of swallowing exercises to traditional therapies. Combining VitalStim and traditional therapy allows clinicians to accelerate strengthening, restore function, and help the brain remap the swallow. Research supports the combination of these therapies to improve treatment outcomes. Dysphagia clinicians who use VitalStim Therapy have completed a rigorous training course to gain competence.
