We have a team of physical therapists, occupational therapists,and speech and language pathologists with specialized training and experience in the treatment and evaluation of stroke.
Occupational therapists on staff have received training in new approaches to improve arm function after stroke. Our therapists are using the Functional Tone Management (F.T.M.) System to improve recovery of the upper extremity. For more information about the F.T.M. System visit SAEBO.com. St. Lawrence is a Clinical Center of Excellence for the NESS H-200 Neuroprosthetic and Rehabilitation Program designed to improve arm function through the use of an arm splint combined with electrical stimulation. For more information about this program visit Bionessinc.com.
Psychology/Neuropsychology services are available and considered essential to address the emotional adjustment following a stroke. Our neuropsychologists perform examinations that clarify for the patient and their families the impact of the stroke on brain function. This is very helpful when planning treatment and setting goals.
