PATHALONG Says R&D Wants U 2 C Occupational Physical Therapy

Wisconsin's PATHALONG model delivers guidance with care transitions to help reduce hospital readmissions.  Identified by seniors as an easy to understand approach to participating in evidence based practices designed to improve recovery. 

So often individuals who have used a standard wheel chair for an extended period of time will verbalize they have completed their therapies and nothing more to do there.  Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy have been aware of a need for a fundamental change to address repetitive use with wheel chair users. 

Analysis of existing evidence indicates long term wheel chair users experience difficulty performing daily tasks due to hand/arm pain. Higher numbers of long term wheel chair users seek treatment for shoulder injuries.

Rowheels is a progressive organization that works with durable medical equipment providers who can offer products designed to reduce factors that contribute to the pain and injury secondary to long term wheel chair use.

The Wisconsin PATH ALONG model App  http://appsmakerstore.com/appim/j6kcdet8xvwk4s encourages inpatient's to make the important connection between inpatient PT/OT providers and Community PT/OT providers. 
This Wisconsin model improves access to the service available across care transitions to strengthen the individual's long term well being. Maximize your benefit.
