Clinical Insights

For many years, it was assumed that rehabilitation after stroke and other types of neurological injury diminished in effectiveness over time. For that reason, only a few weeks of physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy were offered. More recently, however, it has become clear that recovery can persist over many months, and that patients benefit from continuing rehabilitation.

At Indoma, we believe the brain deserves far more than an arbitrary deadline and can benefit measurably from intensive and extensive rehabilitation.

Advances in technology for neural enhancement, moreover, have begun to emerge and to gain validation.

The use of mirroring, simulation, exoskeletal support, robotically assisted movement, virtual reality, and non-invasive transcranial stimulation have all entered the armamentarium of neuro-rehabilitation, some as new standards of care, and some as intriguing investigational modalities.

Neuro-modulatory technologies are especially exciting. Non-invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), for example, has been shown to be effective in treating depression and certain chronic pain syndromes, both of which can play a role in stroke recovery. Other forms of non-invasive brain stimulation use customized electromagnetic fields.

Reimagining Recovery

For many families, one of the most painful aspects of stroke is the sense of lost promise and opportunity. When traditional therapy plateaus, they are often told, often with a sympathetic shrug, that "this may be as good as it gets.” We plan to challenge this sense of fatalism. We see data and real-world outcomes that give us hope for continuing recovery.

Indoma Offers Access

Indoma offers access to the most forward-thinking, effective, and deeply personalized interventions available. We aspire to help patients and families pursue recovery to the maximal extent possible. We have created a sanctuary for second chances.

Our boutique approach to neurorehabilitation is designed not only to heal, but to restore a future. We aim to create environment where medicine and science are combined with empathy and care, and where patients are treated as partners on their path to recovery.

The Next Chapter is Still Yours to Write

Time may pass, but even many weeks and months after a stroke, there is no need to close the door on recovery.

We invite you to rediscover what recovery can mean.
