The therapy staff at BAPTIST HEALTH Rehabilitation Institute will provide mobility training in:

WALKING - Includes the use of various types of canes, walkers, splints and braces as necessary. Walking is practiced on various types of floor surfaces, ramps, stairs, and other situations which are relevant to that person's home and community setting. We also teach patients to observe weight bearing and movement precautions when appropriate.

TRANSFERS - Getting from the wheelchair to the car, bed, furniture, toilet, tub, etc.

WHEELCHAIR MOBILITY - Includes mobility training in standard wheelchairs or power drive chairs.

WHEELCHAIR POSITIONING - For patients who will need to remain confined to a wheelchair for some period of time. The Physical Therapist will assist in arranging for any necessary mobility devices (walker, tub bench, etc.) prior to discharge.
