Treatment Guidelines

Eccentric training is transforming Parkinson's disease rehabilitation by addressing motor challenges with groundbreaking results. Discover how high-intensity eccentric resistance training can improve strength, mobility, and quality of life for PD patients. Learn about the latest research and practical strategies for physical and occupational therapists.

Explore the world of fun, effective, and evidence-based therapeutic gaming devices like you've never seen before. Discover how engaging exercises promote neuroplasticity and transform your hand therapy practice, featuring Q&A from our recent webinar with ASHT.

Learn how to do the Unterberger Test, interpret results, and enhance your balance assessments with data-driven balance assessment devices.

Nearly every plan of care will focus on strengthening the injured area, whether knee, ankle, elbow, and every other joint in the body. Shouldn't cervical spine rehabilitation follow suit? Learn how neck strengthening tools can relieve neck pain, improve cervical spine injury recovery, and promote long-term health.

Discover how the Romberg test assesses proprioception, balance and sensory ataxia. Learn how to use advanced diagnostic tools for your balance assessments.

A recent study examined the outcomes of an eccentric-focused physical therapy program for post-hip fracture recovery. Participants using BTE's Eccentron showed positive improvements in lean muscle mass, force production, and functional abilities.

Balance assessments play a key role in gauging your stroke patient's fall risk, functional abilities, vestibular impairment, proprioception, and more. Read on for a breakdown of five essential balance assessments in stroke rehab: Romberg, Unterberger, Berg Balance Test, timed up and go, and functional reach test.

With specialized task simulation tools, occupational rehab clinics can recreate realistic work environments, making the transition back to the job smoother. This involves accurately matching the weight and handle of objects, meeting endurance and repetition requirements, and simulating lifting heights.

Here's why you should integrate neuromuscular reeducation in sports physical therapy programs. NMR helps your athletes recover from and prevent injuries while also training neuromuscular control. Keep reading for the whys and hows of neuromuscular reeducation in sports.

From sprinting to deceleration to the different swings and grips, tennis involves high coordination and force production from several parts of the body. Learn how to isolate each movement pattern to help your athletes get back on the court, stronger.

Eccentric contractions have so many unique properties that make it ideal for rehabilitation and training. And we’re not just talking musculoskeletal benefits (although this side alone is compelling enough). Eccentrics also engage the neurological system to promote healing, learning, and neuromuscular control, too.

Neuromuscular reeducation is the intersection between neurological relearning and functional rehabilitation. In occupational therapy, it is often the “how” behind the inspiring rehabilitation journeys of our most severe cases. In this article, we’ll uncover why this approach works, how to objectively measure progress, and which treatment techniques to use with your patients.
