Job description:
Occupational Therapists at NeuroHope must share a passionate understanding of NeuroHope’s mission: Patients recovering from catastrophic injury often need more care than the traditional healthcare system is able to provide. NeuroHope was created to help complete this continuum of care. NeuroHope centers its patient-centric services on activity-based therapy and integrates locomotor training, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, transcutaneous spinal stimulation (through the ARC-EX device by ONWARD Medical), vibration plate training, aquatic therapy, and other intensive, cutting edge interventions to promote neuroplasticity and maximize recovery following injury.
OTs are responsible for evaluating and treating patients, developing appropriate plans of care, and setting measureable and attainable patient goals. OTs also work closely with our PT and wellness team (kinesiologists) to communicate and develop exercise plans to form a comprehensive care program for patients.
Our patient population ranges from spinal cord injury, brain injury, stroke, MS, CP, and other neurologic conditions. We have a growing pediatrics population and OTs will work with patients of all ages.
