鈼&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫; At-Home Therapies: 麻豆传媒高清版 is pleased to begin offering Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), a novel home-based non-invasive brain stimulation program that will help enhance day to day functions including talking, walking, and moving both your arms and legs. tDCS is a treatment that may help to improve responsiveness to physical, occupation and speech therapy.
This program is designed to provide rehabilitation in the comfort of your own home. Our specially trained therapists will apply the stimulation device to your head and deliver therapy that is focused on repetitive movements that are specific to everyday activities, such as reaching to open a door, walking throughout your home, or speaking aloud.
If you are interested in the program, you will be assessed by a rehabilitation medicine physician who will determine which therapies you may benefit from receiving. They will also determine which area of your brain is suitable for stimulation, based on your injury location and current evidence-based treatment paradigms.
