Helping Adults with disabilities Moving Forward
MOVE-ING FORWARD
A therapeutic alternative for adults with multiple severe disabilities
A KEY TO CONNECT...
Achieving empathy and communication by connecting with cognitively challenged adults
As a professional, Physiotherapy has allowed me to help my patients achieve goals that even they believed were unattainable, to be able to see our patients experience sitting alone, taking steps for the first time in their life or interacting more effectively with others despite their age, is something incredible.
The smiles on their faces are the best reward!!!
MOVE focus on task-oriented motor learning, the use of external aids and motivational support; could be a therapeutic alternative for adults with multiple disabilities to facilitate learning functional motor skills such as sitting, standing, walking and making transitions.
The treatment has made me feel my muscles stronger and less hypertonic. I feel that it helps my movements to be more precise and that makes me feel more independent.
It is a nice experience to be able to sit without support and that my hands work better.
The treatment has made Tom feel stronger, he is now able to stand up and feel his legs on the floor bearing his weight.
In addition, it is noticed that he has less tone while sitting down on the chair during the day, and while working.
Walking with the help of the Walker is important to me now, also important that I’m not sitting in my wheelchair all day long, it gives me a lot of fun and the feeling that I can walk. When I walk with the walker, we also play with a ball, it’s a fun experience, it feels like I am a football player.
