Learn more about low, medium and high tech OT interventions used by The Neuro Hub in stroke recovery.

OVERVIEW

Doro: That was the neat thing. This one client that had this really big change did nothing else. She just did her little exercises at home…

Lynette: Right

Doro: But no therapy with us or in other facilities. Nothing.

Lynette: She did her basic home program, just to maintain what she already had what she had already been doing…umm…but yeah, it really made a huge impact for her.

Deb: Was this a home program that she already had received prior to coming to you?

Lynette: Yes. She had been doing this home program for a while. Even with us, when we doing OT with her prior to doing BCI, she was doing this home program.

Deb: Hmmm
