Treatment & Programs

Driving Assessment and Training

The Driving Assessment and Training program is physician referred and monitored by an occupational therapist. Head injury, stroke and amputee patients may need help determining whether they are able to return to driving. Prior to driving, an inpatient screening measures visual perception, reaction time, muscle strength and cognitive abilities. A minimum one-hour drive is modified to meet individual patient needs, usually following familiar paths, in the "rehab car" equipped with adaptive equipment. The therapist makes a recommendation of readiness to physicians and helps patients contact appropriate companies for installing adaptive equipment in their own vehicles.

Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic Therapy is a multidiscipline treatment that therapists and patients alike enjoy. The rehabilitation team takes patients to NMMC's Outpatient Rehabilitation Center at Longtown Medical Park to exercise in the indoor pool. Candidates for this therapy are patients who have good mobility in the gym and are beginning to stand on their own. The fluid motions allowed by water help patients walk, kick and move their limbs to improve their strength, endurance and balance.

Therapeutic Leave Program

The Therapeutic Leave Program allows patients to leave the inpatient facility on a day pass. The purpose of therapeutic leave is to enable patients to feel comfortable in their own surroundings and help them adapt to changes in their home environment. Therapeutic leave also allows caregivers the opportunity to identify other potential problems, learning needs and coping skills needed prior to discharge.
