Technologies and Facilities

The caring team at Trinity Health Of New England brings a world of expertise to each patient in a healing atmosphere. We designed our rehabilitation facilities to support your recovery at every step.

One reason for our high patient outcome and satisfaction ratings is because our neurologists, occupational therapists and other providers are always up to date on the latest innovations in rehabilitation. We use proven treatments and technologies as well as newer techniques — all to help you achieve long-term, sustainable success.

Rehabilitation Tailored to Your Success

We designed the rehabilitation facilities at Mount Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital and at Mercy Rehabilitation Services so patients of all abilities can access top-quality care. This design includes specialty settings as well as the ability to modify activities.

Because we customize our facilities and technologies to meet patients’ needs, more people can receive world-class treatment. Improve mobility, cognition and function so you can return to the activities you enjoy — all while exploring new ones, too.

Where Recovery Takes Center Stage

Our rehabilitation hospitals feature several specialty settings to promote recovery. These include:

• The neuro rehab gym is equipped with state-of-the-art technology specially designed for the rehabilitation of people with neurological impairments.
• The outpatient fitness center provides patients and therapists with a variety of equipment and exercise options in an expansive, adaptable, well-lit environment.
• The mini-bus is used as part of community-based therapy. Functionally based, treatment-oriented outings allow patients to practice maneuvering in crowded environments and overcome other barriers found outside the hospital. The mini-bus has room for four patients in wheelchairs and six ambulatory patients.
• The speech treatment room is fully equipped to support speech therapy programs, serving patients across a wide range of abilities.
• The SwimEx^® pool at Mount Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital has several levels and stations, allowing dynamic and varied exercise capability. It distributes a constant flow of water with controlled and variable rates, allowing patients to exercise against that resistance, or walk or swim in place with therapist direction and supervision.
• The therapeutic pool boasts 92-degree water that aids pain control and increases the elasticity of soft tissues. The buoyancy also helps with muscle re-education and builds strength. It is available at Mount Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital.
• The terrace offers patients the opportunity to recover fine motor skills through planting and cultivating flowers and decorative plants.
• Town Commons’ simulated environments give patients the opportunity to approach community challenges. The site includes café and park bench area, grocery store checkout counter, train depot, water fountain, telephone, ATM, crosswalk with traffic signals and even a full-sized car. 
• Cream and Two Sugars, the café at Town Commons, helps patients gain confidence while practicing situations encountered in restaurants and other service venues.
• The transitional living apartment helps patients learn to overcome challenges they may face at home. The apartment is equipped with a kitchen, bedroom, living area and bathroom.
• The Mandell MS Center features state-of-the-art treatments, groundbreaking research and innovative rehabilitation programs for people with multiple sclerosis and their families.

Rehabilitation Therapy at Its Best

You won’t have to travel far to experience the latest in rehabilitation technology. Trinity Health Of New England provides the latest rehabilitation innovations. Our rehabilitation centers feature sophisticated equipment that includes:

• Armeo® helps patients regain arm and hand function via a wide range of movements and tasks using repetitive interactions in virtual environments. It’s the only technology of its kind in Connecticut.
• Balance Master® provides assessment and retraining of the sensory and voluntary motor control of balance, assisting the patient in achieving better balance control.
• Biodex Dynamometer is a machine that helps therapists accurately assess muscle strength, reaction time, power and joint flexibility. This device assists in designing tailored rehabilitative programs that best meet your needs. It also gives the providers data to assess your progress and ability to return to work or sports, helping to guide rehabilitation decisions.
• Bioness® is an electrical stimulation device worn on your hand, thigh or leg to help improve muscle movement. Through electrical stimulation, Bioness retrains muscles, increases motion and blood circulation and promotes the use of extremities. 
• DIEGO® is a robotic arm and shoulder rehabilitation device for patients experiencing motoric dysfunctions. The unique overhead construction offers 3D range of movement and can be used by both mobile patients and those in wheelchairs.
• Dynavision® is used to evaluate and treat patients through cognitive training, helping improve hand-eye coordination and reaction time.
• The GAITRite^® Mat, a portable, instrumented walkway, is used to analyze details of walking to help guide treatment decisions.
• LiteGait® trains patients in developing a correct, sustainable walking gait. As you walk on a treadmill or across the floor, LiteGait supports body weight while also providing balance and posture. You can relearn lower body and leg movement with manually assisted leg and pelvis movement, if needed, and without concern for balance or falling.
• Lokomat® replicates a normal gait for patients with a walking disability. Your legs are secured in special cuffs and guided along a treadmill outfitted with sensors that send feedback to computer screens. The act of walking correctly changes the brain and helps recapture function that otherwise might have been lost. The machine’s ability to retrain the brain can make dramatic and lasting improvements.
• Omni VR® is a virtual reality platform that recreates movements in 3D, real-time, interactive environments. Patients receive enhanced feedback and motivation to improve exercise participation, repetition and duration. The system includes a variety of skilled exercise programs for physical, occupational and speech therapy applications.
