At The Rehabilitation Institute of St. Louis, we provide our patients with a vast array of advanced treatment options- many of which were discovered and pioneered by our own physicians and staff. We will continue to discover new ways to treat an illness through our partnerships with BJC HealthCare, HealthSouth, and an affiliation with the Washington University School of Medicine.
- Constraint-induced movement therapy - limits use of the normal arm to promote use of the paralyzed arm, which assists in recovery of weak muscles after a stroke.
- Functional electrical stimulation (FES) – involves the use of electrical current on muscles to restore lost movements and regain function.
- FES powered cycling - allows patients with paraplegia to pedal a special bicycle. This provides an excellent workout to increase muscle strength, decrease stiffness and pain and improve endurance and cardiac conditioning.
- Partial body weight supported walking – helps patients practice walking on the ground or treadmill while their weight is supported by an overhead harness. This treatment increases muscle strength and improves endurance and balance.
- Balance Retraining - helps patients improve balance through the use of advanced computerized equipment.
- Vestibular Program - highly specialized therapists evaluate and treat patients experiencing dizziness
- Voice Biofeedback (Visipitch) - helps improve voice quality
- Augmentive Communication - a wide range of devices are used to enhance communications
- Aquatics - patients perform therapeutic exercises in a warm water pool
- Computer Skills Training - involves the use of special computer programs to assist patient in relearning and regaining memory skills
- Wheelchair Seating and Positioning Clinic - patients are evaluated and fitted for a special custom wheelchair and cushion to achieve effective and safe mobility
- Lymphedema - outpatient program that provides treatments to improve and control extremity swelling (edema)
- Performing Arts - an outpatient program designed to treat and prevent the unique injuries of musicians, dancers and other performing artists
- Spasticity - individually prescribed therapies in combination with oral and injectable medications to control muscle stiffness (spasticity) and spasms
- Pelvic Pain and Incontinence - involves exercise, biofeedback and electrical stimulation specifically designed to reduce urinary incontinence
- Diabetic Foot - therapy involving the use of a shortleg cast that applies equal pressure to the foot and enhances healing time of a diabetic foot wound
- TMJ - an outpatient program designed to reduce jaw pain and related headaches
- Laryngoscopy and Video Stroboscopy - scopes are used to visualize vocal cord function and structure
- Fiber-Optic Endoscopic Evaluation (FEES) - camera-guided scope assesses swallow function and structures
- Aphasia Clinic - comprehensive assessment of aphasia and neglect
- Concussion Clinic - multidisciplinary assessment after a concussion, which may involve a neurologist, neuropsychologist, occupational therapy, physical therapy and social work/counseling
- Vital Stim - uses neuromuscular stimulation to stimulate the muscles responsible for swallowing; at the same time, trained specialists help patients "reeducate" their muscles through rehabilitation therapy
- Gait Disorders Program - designed for patients that have experience a loss of motor skills, including the inability to ambulate or ambulate safely with such specialized equipment like the Autoambulator™ LiteGait® and the Balance Master®
- STEPP (supportive training and education for people with pain) - helps people with chronic pain learn how to more effectively manage their lives
- Occupational Performance Center - an innovative program which is designed to introduce the role of "work" in the early stages of rehabilitation
- Functional Capacity Evaluations - a systematic process of assessing an individual's physical capacities and functional abilities for return to work purposes
