LiteGait
The unique design of the LiteGait
system allows a single individual to move a person from a seated position to
proper upright posture. The patient is kept in a comfortable, fall free
environment, enabling both the patient and the therapist to concentrate on the
therapy session.

VitalStim

responsible for swallowing. At the same time, trained speech therapists help patients
"re-educate" their muscles through rehabilitation therapy.
