Multiple Sclerosis – Finding Help Through Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy 

If you have received a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis, you may be wondering what happens next. How do you continue to live your life as independently as possible? How will you keep yourself functioning at your best for as long as possible? What should you do if you feel like you are having more trouble completing daily tasks? These are all good questions and a sign that you might benefit from therapy to help improve your function. Three important members of the allied health professional team include Physical therapy, Occupational therapy and Speech therapy. All three disciplines have great potential to help you maintain and/or improve your function.

Improving Hand and Arm Function with Innovative Technology

The Neubie (pronounced New – Be) is exciting new technology in electrical stimulation that can be a vital tool to improve performance of the hand and arm especially following a stroke or other event that produces neurological damage. Unlike traditional e-stim, Neubie provides direct current, electrical stimulation that helps occupational therapists (OT) better identify muscular and nerve miscommunications and promote increased sensory and motor recovery. Improved communication between muscles and nerves helps clients achieve maximal function.
