Uploaded June 2020 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

Topics in NeuroRehabilitation - Episode 7. Christy Smitheran, PT, ATP speaks from her experience as the owner of her own physical therapy practice to show how clinic management can support and motivate their staff when transitioning to new advanced clinical practice technologies. Christy also discusses the criteria she uses when evaluating new technologies, and shows how the ReStore Exo-Suit met these criteria and filled a critical need for her patients with neurologic diagnoses. For more information about the ReStore Exo-Suit or ReWalk Robotics, please message us at rewalk.com/contact
