For Clinicians, Therapists & Rehabilitation Specialists

Veterans often require specialized rehabilitation due to :

  • Traumatic injuries

  • Neuromuscular disorders

  • Amputations

  • Long-term immobility

  • Controlled tilt — left, right, head-up, foot-up — for wound care

  • Improved positioning compliance for PT/OT treatment plans

  • Perform care tasks (bathing, dressing, wound checks) more easily

  • Lower injury risk for nurses and support staff

  • Reduce stress and fatigue during long shifts

  • Stronger morale, greater job satisfaction, and more meaningful time spent interacting with Veterans
