Utilization of Ekso with Treatment of Alien Limb Phenomenon

In this webinar, Duncan Monger PT, DPT, CBIS, CSRS from Regional One Rehabilitation will be presenting on patients who suffer strokes located in the corpus collosum. This can be difficult to treat, as they are rare in presentation. Without communication between the two hemispheres it can be problematic to perform functional activities and can lead to severe communication barriers. The use of robotic gait training devices, like the EksoNR, allow for high intensity training, resulting in faster return to over ground walking and hemispheric communication.
