Rehabilitation

Leading the Nation

Welcome to a new era in after-hospital care. Where CommuniCare, one of the nation’s most progressive and innovative healthcare providers, is leading the thought and process evolution. Brought to life in our Advance 360 recovery centers, healing takes place through a holistic, person-centered model of care that combines excellence in clinical services with the realization that a beautiful, healing environment contributes to overall recovery progress.

 

Rehabilitation

When skilled nursing rehabilitation is necessary, it’s our goal to help you reach your goal of getting home safely and as quickly as possible. Our experienced team of professionals coordinates with your doctor, while focusing on you as an individual. With your specific needs in mind, we develop a plan of therapy and recovery that’s designed to help you heal sooner and get home safely and as quickly as possible.

STATE-OF-THE-ART EQUIPMENT

Our physical therapists will assist patients with walking devices until the knee is able to support the patient’s full body weight and muscle strength is restored.

 

ACP’s Megapulse® II Shortwave Diathermy

Our Mega Pulse II Shortwave Diathermy equipment, for the application of electromagnetic energy to the body at shortwave frequencies, is used to treat a wide range of conditions with successful outcomes. This electrotherapy elevates the tissue to a temperature at which optimal healing can occur. Shortwave diathermy is continuous, rather than pulsed, when it is necessary to treat a larger anatomical area. These medical issues include acute and sub-acute traumatic and inflammatory conditions, chronic rheumatoid and arthritic conditions, resolution of hematomas and pain relief. This system is widely recognized as one of the most reliable and efficient devices in the industry. It provides uniform heating for patient comfort and safety, and output parameters have been carefully selected for use with the elderly.

 

ACP’s Omnicycle™ Elite Motorized Rehabilitation System

ACP’s Omnicycle™ Elite Motorized Rehabilitation System represents the most advanced therapy cycle technology available today. It accommodates post-acute patients who may be unable to participate in therapeutic exercises due to lack of strength, coordination, partial paralysis, respiratory limitations and other conditions. The Omnicycle™ Elite supports expanded therapy services for neurological rehabilitation (Stroke-CVA), orthopedic rehabilitation (TKA, THA, Shoulder, UE) and cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation (COPD).

 

ACP’s Omnistim® 500 Pro Electrical Stimulation

ACP’s Omnistim® 500 Pro is a versatile, multi-modality electrical stimulation system offering a broad spectrum of therapy options for the effective management of chronic intractable pain and/or acute post-traumatic pain and neuromuscular re-education. It can also be used for the treatment of muscle disuse atrophy and to increase circulation for tissue healing applications.

 

AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill

The AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill utilizes differential air pressure (DAP) technology, developed by NASA for use in training and rehabilitation. Cleared by the FDA in 2008, the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill is a medical device that can be used for the following:

  • Rehabilitation of Lower Extremity Injuries
  • Treatment of Neurological Conditions
  • Weight Reduction
  • Aerobic Conditioning
  • General Training to Combat the Diseases of Aging

Unweighting is achieved in the AlterG® by using air in a pressure-controlled chamber to gently lift the user. Precise calibration, using patented technology, allows for very specific unweighting in 1% increments to as low as 20% of the user’s body weight. Clinical studies show these treadmills can help decrease ground reaction forces in walking and running. The restoration of normal gait mechanics is paramount to optimal recovery and can be accelerated by this patented unweighting technology.

 

Korebalance™

The Korebalance™ System exercises visual (eyes), vestibular (inner ear) and proprioception (where you are in space) to improve balance. It aids in the following:

  • Stimulates the brain and nervous system to improve balance, stability, coordination and posture
  • Improves agility, reaction time and motor control
  • Makes workouts challenging, fun and interactive
  • Improves confidence for seniors, decreasing the chances of falling
  • Minimizes repetitive stress on joint structures
  • Trains the body to respond to an unstable environment (real-life activities)
  • Improves muscle strength, flexibility and range of motion
  • Rehabilitates and prevents lower limb injuries
  • Rehabilitates concussions and traumatic brain injury and all associated dizziness
  • Increases calorie burn as more musculature is recruited

 

Omnisound® 3000 Pro Therapeutic Ultrasound

ACP’s Omnisound® 3000 Pro Therapeutic Ultrasound device can be used in “pulse” or “continuous” modes for both thermal and sub-thermal applications. It offers consistent heating effects for patient comfort. This exceptional beam supports safer treatment for geriatric patients with reduced muscle mass and sensitive joints.

 

OmniVR™

The OmniVR™ is the world’s first virtual rehabilitation system, designed specifically for geriatric patients and those facing complex medical conditions. This easy-to-use technology recreates your movements in a 3-D, real-time interactive experience to provide you with enhanced feedback and motivation to improve exercise participation, repetition and duration. It uses six different skilled exercise modes, developed for those with lower-functioning levels: seated exercise, wheelchair propulsion and control, upper extremity, balance, walking and cardio.
