The History of Stroke and
Spinal Cord Rehabilitation
The specialized field of stroke patient and
spinal cord injury rehabilitation has often
been quite labor intensive for therapists.
Therapists not only load the patients into the equipment, but they are also the ones moving the patients legs. This limits the length
of each session to 5-15 minutes because the
therapists need to rest periodically.
Manual labor also affects the consistency of results. Each therapist operates differently, making it impossible to standardize movement. These variables make tracking specific data difficult, which limits progress tracking.
