NeuroRehab App Revamp! Many Exciting Changes and New Content!

We are thrilled to announce that our NeuroRehab app has been revised and updated! This update provides contemporary teaching and learning resources in neurologic rehabilitation and enhances the user experience. 

Partnership to deliver world-class Parkinson’s disease treatment methodology (LSVT BIG®)

We are pleased to partner with Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) Global to provide an introduction to LSVT BIG®, an intensive, amplitude-focused treatment for people with Parkinson’s disease and other adult and pediatric neurological conditions. LSVT BIG® treatment is backed by over 25 years of extensive research and is used by over 40,000 physical and occupational therapists around the world who are certified in the LSVT BIG® method. Within the Evidence-Based Practice Resources section of the NeuroRehab app:

• Access four educational modules introducing the LSVT BIG® treatment approach 

• Interact with an LSVT-specific case study

• Within the case study, watch videos of LSVT BIG® exercise and functional task examples
