What made you look into IM? Working at HS I was given the opportunity to attend an IM certification course. After taking the course I was immediately hooked! I loved the idea of having an objective way to measure progress in my patients and even more I loved having a proven way to address neuroplasticity of the brain.
What do you like most about IM? IM brings the concepts of Neuroplasticity to life for me. When I can help my patients understand that IM can help them move from compensation to remediation by rewiring / rerouting the brain they get more excited and involved in their therapy
What are your thoughts on the IM universe? Watching the IM Universe youtube video was exciting! I can hardly wait to start using IM universe with our clients.
Do you incorporate best practices with your IM training? At our facility we have a wall with Velcro strips. We attach a variety of items ( ABC’s, 123’s, shapes and pictures) to the velcro. My favorite tasks are sequencing, trail making and object inclusion/exclusion tasks. These simple exercises in conjunction with IM serve as a catalyst for all other cognitive and communication tasks that we do during our therapy sessions.
How do you think the new Fall Risk reduction program will benefit your clients at Healthsouth? I hope that by combining the concepts/ activities of the new Fall Risk Reduction program with the interdisciplinary STOP program, we will see a drastic decrease in fall related incidents in our facility.
What tips do you have for other IM providers? Be creative! The Best Practices exercises that you can combine with the standard 14 exercises
are limitless. Find what motivates your clients and tailor your treatment to the individual.
Education CornerEvery client presents to you with differences in medical status, cognitive and linguistic status, multi-system deficits, environmental issues and support systems. As with any treatment modality, a one-size-fits-all approach to your patients is a terrible idea.
Learn how to individualize clinical application of the IM from 18 through the geriatric age range. Participants will learn the skills necessary to adapt to often fluctuating clinical presentations with individualized treatment approaches that are engaging and motivating to the adult patient. We also take into consideration that the IM will be used at the inpatient bedside, the therapy gym or at home assisted by a caregiver. We’ll show you how the IM is the most adaptable tool you’ll carry in your therapy tool kit.
Exclusive IM Worlds Just for HealthSouth! IM will be developing exclusive HealthSouth worlds for the new IM Pro system and we want to hear your feedback!
Some suggestions have already been made:Imagine your patient clapping away and…
• A grocery cart is being filled with items from a list• A skier is getting ready for the slopes and needs to dress warm in
the correct sequence• A banana is being peeled and then eaten• Math problems are being presented number by number
and then solved
If you have any suggestions that you would like to share, please email [email protected] your ideas.
These facilities will be amongst the first who will get to test out the new IM Universe. IM Universe is the latest software platform for IMPro 9.0 & IM-Home 3.0.
