For this #TherapistThursday, meet Justine Prikosovich, a physical therapist at Memorial Hospital of South Bend, Indiana! Justine works with patients who have neurological disorders or acquired injuries, and she can't imagine treating her patients without the Vector Gait and Safety System®! Here's what she has to say about using the system: "Seeing severely injured patients can lead to the therapist being apprehensive in trying more difficult tasks due to potential injury to ourselves and/or the patient. I knew I needed to get my hands on Bioness’ Vector Elite dynamic body weight support (DBWS) system! "Now, because of the Vector, my patients are getting even better care than they were before and without additional help from other staff members. I have used the Vector Elite to practice real-life fall training, quadruped and supine bed mobility and unweighting, stair and gait training with bilateral amputees, crawling for proximal stability with severe ataxic patients, etc. "This system has allowed me to become even more creative with therapeutic approaches by providing functional patient goal driven treatments."
