Dr. Kimberly Kuchinski leads a discussion on pediatric rehabilitation.New Program "Bridges" the Rehabilitation Gap for Young Athletes
Many young athletes are unprepared to fully participate in sports without risk of injury. Paul Jenkins PT, MSPT, OCS shares that whether an athlete has decreased strength following an injury, has had surgery, or just lacks optimal strength and coordination, the Washington University and St. Louis Children's Hospital Young Athlete Center Bridge Program is designed to "bridge" the gap between where a young athlete currently is, and where they want to be.Approaching Age-Appropriate Rehabilitation with Adolescents
Each year more than 100 adolescents, ages 12 to 21, come to Shepherd Center from all over the country. They or their families choose Shepherd for its specialized treatment teams, age-appropriate therapy and expertise in treating teens and young adults with spinal cord injuries. The adolescent rehabilitation program follows Shepherd Center's philosophy of returning patients to the highest possible level of functioning and independence, while addressing adolescents' needs for autonomy, privacy and control. Cheryl Linden discusses the Adolescent Rehabilitation Programs available at Shepherd Center.
