is how we set up stroke survivors for long term recovery
The INTUWALK Method
shifts training from compensatory to CORRECTIVE over time
COMPENSATORY TRAINING
As the body initially recovers, COMPENSATORY training with adaptive walking strategies must be used to assist the person to safely discharge home from the hospital.
CORRECTIVE TRAINING
After 6 months to a year, the person may be ready for CORRECTIVE training to regain correct alignment, endurance, and movement control for a stronger walking foundation for the rest of their life. Without corrective training, the person's recovery hits a plateau.
CAN A STROKE SURVIVOR STILL IMPROVE AFTER MANY YEARS?
Each person trained for 12 sessions, 2 or 3 times a week for 60 minutes each session. Average age was 59. Years since stroke ranged from 6 months to 14 years.
RECOVERY requires consistent daily habits
we made it easy, interesting and fun
Intuwalk's method is thoughtfully designed to rebuild a person's confidence with incremental, easy yet effective exercises that build over time Each person can progress at their own pace and monitor their own improvements towards their own goals. Now that's personalized.
