Called the Equicizer, this non-motorized, mechanical horse simulates a real horse’s movement. Through its patented spring-designed mechanism – controlled by the user's level of effort and fitness – riders can rehabilitate, improve body posture and positioning, exercise and practice their technique in a safe, controlled environment. “Often, our patients come to us with injuries that require them to regain strength and flexibility in order to return to the saddle. Conventional exercises used in rehabilitative therapy assist in this, but do not always recondition the areas of the body that are essential to riding,” says Physical Therapist Farley Wagner of Farmington Rehabilitation. “By rehabilitating on the Equicizer, however, patients can recondition these essential areas through simulated riding practices, increasing strength and confidence while decreasing the time it takes to return to riding.” The Equicizer isn’t just for equestrians, though. In addition to mountain bikers and motocross enthusiasts, it can also benefit those with neurological or vestibular conditions.  Through exercises performed using the Equicizer, those who experience balance problems or dizziness can improve their sense of balance and flexibility while gaining confidence. For more information about the Equicizer or to schedule an appointment at Farmington Rehabilitation – located at 1160 Corporate Drive, Farmington – please call 585-924-4449. ajohnston Thu, 28 Jun 2012 15:54:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:291 http://www.thompsonhealth.com/AboutbrThompsonHealth/AboutThompsonHealth/NewsRoom/PressReleases/tabid/215/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/264/New-Electronic-System-to-Enhance-Care-at-Thompson-Hospital.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.thompsonhealth.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=215&ModuleID=596&ArticleID=264 http://www.thompsonhealth.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=264&PortalID=0&TabID=215 http://www.thompsonhealth.com/AboutbrThompsonHealth/AboutThompsonHealth/NewsRoom/PressReleases/tabid/215/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/264/New-Electronic-System-to-Enhance-Care-at-Thompson-Hospital.aspx F.F.

Thompson Hospital will soon begin using an integrated electronic medical records system to enhance patient care by efficiently and securely documenting, managing and sharing patient data. The new system goes live within the hospital on Sunday, June 24. “The goal of this project has always been to put the patient first, and having an electronic medical record is one way of ensuring the very best quality of care for our patients,” says President/CEO of Thompson Health Linda M. Farchione, FACHE. Benefits of this electronic medical records system include: ·         One place where medical providers can access a patient’s medical history, including allergies and medications. This gives providers a more complete picture of a patient’s medical history, with the information stored in one location. ·         A secure way of sharing data from locations throughout the health system in real-time. This allows providers, from anywhere within or outside of the health system, to access to their patients’ current medical data. For patients, this means receiving the care they need in an even more timely manner. It also means better-coordinated care, with all of their healthcare providers kept up-to-date in real-time. It also allows the patient and their family members to become more involved in their own healthcare decision making. Patients are asked to please bring their insurance cards to present at registration. F.F. Thompson Hospital’s new system also includes laboratory, radiology and other test results, document imaging and patient history to enhance the quality of patient care and support growth. ajohnston Mon, 18 Jun 2012 15:48:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:289
