FACILITY FEATURES:

  • 35,000-square-foot rehabilitation and physical therapy center
  • $5 million, state-of-the-art, high-tech center for long-term patients of brain injury, stroke and spinal injury.
  • 2 computerized LokomatPro machine from Switzerland-based Hocoma for $400,000 each
  • A wide variety of other robotic equipment for shoulder, arm and hand rehab and vertical standing
  • 60-foot, saltwater indoor pool for aqua therapy; hot yoga and neuromuscular massage service; acupuncture; and a virtual reality space, where games like Fruit Ninja are helping patients reconnect neuro pathways for more mobility

PROGRAM FEATURES:

  • Patients range in age from 16 to 91; some travel hundreds of miles for treatment.
  • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation; Hyperbaric Chamber
  • The program takes a specific patient group who has low levels of mobility from stroke, spinal injury or brain injury
  • The center is focused on one-on-one physical therapy treatment for its patients
  • There’s a rehab space for disabled veterans where such issues as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder are treated along with long-term rehab resulting from injuries. Some of the space, including the pool, virtual reality and robotic equipment will be shared with the general patient population, but the veteran side of the building includes a separate entrance, a lounge area with sofas and a pool table and an outdoor patio for just the vets
  • The clinic serves as a place for the University of North TX student doctoral physical therapists to do their clinical rotation and later as an employer for a number of the DPTs upon graduation
  • In addition, NRC is pushing its treatment options out further by positioning itself with UNT to be a research facility because of its equipment and longitudinal data from patient interactions, opening it up for clinical trials.
  • A formal partnership with the University of North TX for a patient registry that will be under UNTHSC Institutional Review Board and facilitate research.
  • Their first collaboration, along with the University of Texas-Arlington Research Institute, was a research grant proposal for a soft robotic rehabilitation glove to facilitate motion therapy for the hand. The proposal includes developing a glove prototype and integrating virtual reality applications into the exercise program done with these gloves. The soft robotic glove technology focuses on the rehabilitation of fine motor functions in the hand and looks to help patient recovery in daily living activities such as grasping small objects.  Therapy activities are designed both for patients with injury to their hands as well as stroke patients where the signal from the brain to the hand is disrupted, Wijesundara said.
  • The center has plans to advance various facets of neurologic recovery with bold, multifaceted treatments. These include stem cell utilization, neuroimmunologic infusion (a treatment using the immune system) and other techniques that are cutting edge, in various stages of readiness to be deployed.
  • In 2020, the Center partnered with  a science-based medical practice specializing in innovative neurologic medical care and performance for many neurological diagnoses including Stroke, Brain Injury, Concussion, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Spinal Cord Injury, Peripheral Neuropathy and others. Treatment plans combine metabolic nutritional therapy, electromagnetic stimulation and hyperbaric oxygen.
