Parker Jewish Institute implements Next-Gen therapy modality
New Hyde Park, New York,
January 28, 2020 – Parker Jewish
Institute for Health Care and
Rehabilitation is introducing
Jintronix, a next-generation physical
therapy modality for long-term and
sub-acute patients.
Through interactive therapeutic
games, the engaging platform
challenges rehab patients to expand
their range of motion and improve
their balance and mobility and other
functional reactions. Delivered on a
TV monitor, these virtual activities
and beneficial exercises are also
entertaining, prompting patients to
play football, ski, ride motorcycles
and more.
Therapists can customize activities
to the patients’ cognitive and physical
capabilities. And through realtime
data collection, therapists can
measure clinical outcomes and track
and report patient progress.
“The modality makes physical
therapy a lot more fun,” said Brian
Sidiski, Parker’s Regional Director of
Rehabilitation. “Patients are smiling
and having a great time.”
Parker had considered other therapy
modalities but selected Jintronix. The
compact, mobile system allows for
a quick setup in all six of Parker’s
rehabilitation gyms, as needed.
Encouraging independence, the
therapeutic games are enjoyable,
motivating patients to meet the
challenge of their exercise program.
These factors can inspire patients to
become more engaged with their
therapy, and look forward to their
next sessions.
“Incorporating Jintronix’s innovative
platform at Parker is part of our
mission to continually improve
programs and services, helping us to
be a leader in health care,” said Michael
N. Rosenblut, Parker’s President and
CEO. “Our dedicated staff is driven to
deliver state-of-the-art rehabilitation
to optimize recovery.”
