MossRehab’s recent acquisition of the Lokomat — a robotic training assistant consisting of an exoskeleton mounted above a treadmill — will greatly enhance the process of helping patients relearn how to walk. The Lokomat’s exoskeleton, pictured at right, wraps around a patient’s hips, knees, and lower back. Via a computer, it can be programmed to [...]

MossRehab is committed to optimizing our patients’ function and quality of life. As part of this commitment to quality, we grade ourselves each year by quantifying the functional gains our patients make. Using the Functional Independence Measure™ (FIM™), an instrument widely employed in the rehabilitation industry, we track our patient’s admission and discharge status in [...]

Kessler Medical Rehabilitation Research and Education Corporation, West Orange, NJ, USA. The spatial neglect syndrome, defined by asymmetric attention and action not attributed to primary motor or sensory dysfunction [...]

by Laurel J. Buxbaum, PsyD. Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute, Albert Einstein Healthcare Network, Philadelphia, PA, USA. All object-related actions are complex. Even the “simplest” of reach to grasp movements requires finely honed coordination of the muscles of the arm, hand, and fingers; is dependent upon exquisitely tuned feedforward and feedback mechanisms for motor control; is [...]

We assessed the prediction that object structural cues could benefit the learning of object–action relationships in ideomotor apraxia (IMA). A total of 15 patients with left-hemisphere stroke, 11 of whom exhibited IMA, and 10 healthy subjects were trained to match novel gestures to novel tool pictures that were either High- or Low-Afforded by their associated [...]

MossRehab has implemented a team-based, multifaceted care model that evaluates and addresses depression and other psychological issues in stroke patients. MossRehab neuropsychologists with doctorates in clinical psychology work closely on a daily basis with physicians, nurses and therapists to manage depression and anxiety by: •comprehensively evaluating the patient’s psychological profile upon intake, then tracking mood [...]

The MossRehab Driving Program, one of the longest running programs of its kind in the country, is marking 30 years of helping senior citizens and adults with physical and cognitive disabilities such as stroke, TBI and amputation regain driving skills and independence. For disabled individuals, the program also offers auxiliary services such as identifying appropriate [...]

Robots are no longer futuristic concepts; at MossRehab, they actively participate in treatment. MossRehab is the first institution to incorporate the promising ReoTM Therapy robotic system, by Motorika Ltd., into clinical practice and research for upper limb rehabilitation. Robotics is one of many innovative treatments that physiatrists at MossRehab research and employ to provide optimal [...]

by G.A. Stefanatos, Leonard E. Braitman, Sean Madigan. Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute, Albert Einstein Medical Center, Philadelphia, PA, USA. Auditory temporal processing was investigated in individuals with acquired aphasia using a task in which they were asked to detect brief silent gaps inserted between noise segments modeled after formants in speech. To examine within-channel gap [...]

by Steven A. Jax, PhD, Laurel J. Buxbaum, PsyD, Adrienne D. Moll. Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute, Albert Einstein Healthcare Network, Philadelphia, PA, USA. Two central issues in the field of motor control are the coordinate frame in which movements are controlled and the distinction between movement planning and online correction. In this study we used [...]
