Inpatient Rehabilitation
Check out how the adaptable REAL y-Series can be used to motivate and engage patients during their time in inpatient rehabilitation.
Outpatient Rehabilitation
Check out how the REAL y-Series can be used to engage and help progress patient progress in outpatient rehabilitation therapy sessions.
Use across disciplines:
- Physical rehabilitation: Physical therapists focus on rehabilitating physical injuries and disorders. Physiatrists may potentially identify physical rehabilitation that may prevent further injury.
- Occupational rehabilitation: Occupational therapists focus on returning injured workers to daily work activities through their function and cognitive capacity.
- Speech language therapy: Speech language pathologists aide patients in speech and/or language disorders that include articulation, fluency, and voice.
- Recreational therapy: Recreational therapists rehabilitation plans are designed to achieve the highest level of function possible for their patient.
REAL y-Series is available in two configurations:
- ONLINE With internet connectivity, enhance your knowledge by building a patient profile for quick start session after session and for review of objective measures and insights over multiple sessions. Offers over-the-air updates for new software releases.
- OFFLINE Without internet connectivity, quick start a patient session, followed by reviewing session-specific objective measures and insights. Manual software updates required.
Informative
Evaluate patient progress with automated, insightful objective measures:
- Time spent in session
- Trunk measurements
- Sit-to-stand measurements
- Full-body movement measurements
- Balance measurements
- Functional range of motion
With the y-Series balance assessments, therapists can:
- Maintain clinical discretion for assessment acceptability
- Detect when a patient breaks stance
- Demonstrate progress to patients
Assessment Measures
Review measures of static stance and functional reach assessments done in VR for therapeutic planning, documentation and patient discussion.
