Fall Creek

Healing in Motion

REHAB EQUIPMENT

Fall Creek Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center offers in-house rehabilitation services. Instead of having different therapists work with you during your stay, our in-house therapy program allows for a more personal relationship between patient and therapist. You will work closely with a select group of therapists, letting them get to know you and cater your treatment plan to meet your needs.

ESTIM/ULTRASOUND COMBO UNIT (2 UNITS)

Combining ultrasound (US) with electrical stimulation (e-stim) is a treatment option to decrease acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain, decrease muscle tone-spasm, increase local circulation, and increase-maintain joint range of motion (ROM).

DIATHERMY (2 UNITS)

Treating injuries with heat can increase blood flow and make connective tissue more flexible. It can also help minimize inflammation and reduce the incidence of edema, or fluid retention. By increasing blood flow to the site of an injury, the deep heat generated with diathermy can accelerate healing. Diathermy is used to treat the following conditions:
  • arthritis
  • back pain
  • fibromyalgia
  • muscle spasms
  • myositis
  • neuralgia
  • sprains and strains
  • tenosynovitis
  • tendonitis
  • bursitis

2 ISOKINETIC ACTIVE ASSISTIVE BIKES

Isokinetic exercise is a relatively safe and effective way to strengthen certain muscles in a person recovering from an injury. Some of its benefits include: A person can experience resistance throughout a joint’s entire range of motion. The controlled resistance and speed reduce the risk of injury.

SCIFIT

SCI-FIT maximizes the potential for each individual suffering from spinal cord injuries and other neurological disorders by utilizing strategic exercises and providing the proper stimulation for an optimal functional outcome.

SPORTS ART AND FITNESS TREADMILL T615

Body weight support treadmill training is a common technique utilized in physical therapy to assist a patient in learning to walk or improve upon their current gait difficulties. Treadmill training offers a way for an individual with a disability to gain walking practice in an effort to improve their walking skills.

WEIGHT RACK

By providing concentric, eccentric and stabilization challenges, weights push the body. Using weights provide the resistance patients need to help rebuild muscles after an injury.

STANDING FRAME

The ability to stand with the assistance of a standing frame can improve quality of life and restore your ability to engage in activities once again that your impairment may have curbed. These aids are instrumental in physical therapy to recover from an injury, surgery, or expand the range of motion.

NDT (Neuro-Developmental Treatment)

Walker NDT focuses on the active use of overall movement patterns that are efficient, self-initiated, and have variety, in order to facilitate brain plasticity and neural recovery to improve coordination of movement.

PARALLEL BARS

A set of parallel bars for physical therapy is a tool to help recover or retain functional mobility. This piece of equipment provides a safe method to work on walking, balance, and gait training, while building strength, mobility, endurance, and range of motion.

STAIR COMBO

Individuals recovering from injuries train stairs as a great tool for increasing flexibility and improving lower body strength, providing anaerobic conditioning, and strengthening the heart, lungs and muscles.

HI/LOW MAT

Mat tables are lower in height to allow easy access and have a weight-bearing strength of 600 pounds, providing a stable surface for manual techniques of deep tissue massage, myofascial release, joint manipulation and flexibility/stretching exercises to increase range of motion.

HYDROCOLLATOR

Hydrocollators are used to heat packs when treatment by moist, penetrating heat is indicated. Moisture delivers the heat to the deeper layers of muscle and into the joints, resulting in pain relief and the elimination of stiffness along with enhanced circulation.
