THE SHUTTLE IN USE
"In regards to the MiniClinic, what I’ve attempted to focus upon is the ability of patients to go from
sitting to standing and how the MiniClinic helps enhance that action for patients. They have been able to go from requiring a
high level of assistance to a lower level of assistance from Physical Therapists, Nurses and Nursing Assistants. Generally, if
we look at going from sitting to standing, it takes a maximum level of assistance but by using the MiniClinic and getting
stronger the level of assistance becomes minimal. That’s a big change! That means less work and less potential for injury for
patients and staff. Patients feel like they are doing more and they gain confidence. As they get more confidence, they’re
going to work harder . . . That’s the corner stone - sitting to standing. To that end, I’ve found really good success with
the MiniClinic . . .
