CNR’S SHORT TERM REHABILITATION

A Leader in Innovative Therapies

A Member of the Beth Abraham Family of Health Services

Innovative Techniques and Adaptive DevicesAssist Stroke and Amputee PatientsCNR’s short-term rehabilitation program for stroke and leg amputeepatients utilizes the latest techniquesand equipment to help returnpatients to an active and independentlifestyle as quickly as possible.

Our full-time medical team, includinga physiatrist, as well as highly-

trained physical, occupational andspeech therapists, form our “careteam”. It is this “care team” thatreturns 100% of leg amputeepatients and 80% of our strokepatients back to the community.State and national averages are 50% and 60% respectively.

CNR was the first rehabilitation center in New York City to introducean interactive computerized virtualrehabilitation exercise program, which allows patients to receive physical and occupational therapy by participating in computerizedvideo games that simulates activitiessuch as race-car driving, drum tapping, or flying in a hot-air balloon.

Patients, who view themselves on a large plasma screen during these sessions, have shown to improvetheir sensory, cognitive and motorskills – the three most importantsteps toward achieving proper and safe prosthetic ambulation performance.

For amputee patients, virtual rehabilitation specifically targets balance, coordination, active rangeof motion exercises, weight bearingand increases patient’s awareness ofthe remaining limb. It also hasshown to increase patient confidenceand an acceptance of a prosthetic limb.

Stroke patients also benefit from virtual rehabilitation sessions becauseit strengthens their muscles andimproves coordination and balance.

CNR partners with its affiliate, theinternationally renowned Institutefor Music and Neurologic Function(IMNF) to incorporate music therapyat its rehab center. The music program has rapidly transformed the rehab center into a lively environment where patients aremore engaged in their treatment,find their physical and occupationaltherapy sessions enjoyable and even entertaining. More importantly,clinical music therapy techniqueshelp to meet rehabilitation goals. Forinstance, using a rhythmic beat tohelp synchronize movement resultsin better stride or walking distance.Even some patients who cannotspeak following a stroke may be

able to sing familiar songs becausesinging uses different areas of thebrain than speech.

With all these advances and programs found in CNR’s short-termrehabilitation, it’s no wonder why100% of our patients indicated in an anonymous satisfaction surveythat they would recommend CNR to their family and friends.

And for patients with difficulty getting out of bed, the “Total Lift Bed” safely and gently tilts the bed to a standing position without any lifting on the part of staff or exertionby the patient.

The “LiteGait” training device,which controls weight bearing, posture and balance, providespatients with a sense of security and builds their confidence as theywork on symmetry and shiftingweight from one leg to the other.

Research Proves Music Therapy Benefits Patients

“With my determination and the encouragement and intensive therapy I got at CNR, I truly believed anything was possible.”

Music therapist uses the rhythm of an ocean drum to facilitate the patient’s movement and better coordinate his timing.

Patients build confidence as they practicewalking and shifting weight from one legto the other.
