Baylor Scott & White Outpatient Rehabilitation’s Post

What is complex rehab technology (CRT)? CRT refers to adaptive equipment for individuals with disabilities that is medically necessary and individually configured. For Tim, who sustained a tetraplegic spinal cord injury, CRT like power wheelchairs, head-control driving systems and other specialized equipment have allowed him to maintain his independence. Tim shares, “People with more complex needs require individualized equipment and cannot rely on off-the-shelf devices. It’s really important to allow people to fully participate in civic life by providing complex equipment that addresses individualized needs.” Craig Hospital Occupational Therapist Shad has spent close to 30 years supporting individuals who use CRT and advocates to ensure people are aware of and can access this critical technology. “It takes a lot of collaborative problem-solving with the whole therapy team and the individual to find the intersection of their postural needs while still allowing freedom of mobility to complete functional tasks," Shad says.

We are so grateful to work with a diverse team of caring professionals! Rehabilitation Awareness Week is a time to acknowledge all rehabilitation professionals for their work, as it requires equal parts dedicated knowledge of the human body in partnership with patience and understanding. Fact: The Physical Therapy profession began in World War I to take care of injured soldiers. At the time, it was a female-only profession with 274 members of the American Women’s Physical Therapy Association. Graduates of physical therapy schools were rare. Most schools did not offer coursework in the profession until the 1960s-1970s. How can you observe Rehabilitation Awareness Week? 50% of people typically utilize PT, OT, or other forms of rehabilitation every year. Invite a professional to speak at your office, workplace, or school! #rehabilitationawarenessweek #rehabilitation #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapist #caringprofessionals #rehabilitationspecialist #healthcarethatcares #teamwork #livepainfree #healthcarehistory #historyinmedicine #themoreyouknow

Joining is a foundational technique in systemic family therapy, essential for establishing a therapeutic alliance and fostering trust between the therapist and the family. It involves the therapist actively engaging with the family in a way that respects and understands their unique dynamics, values, and perspectives. By "joining" the family system, the therapist can gain insight into the family's structure, context, and meaning, all of which are crucial for effective intervention.
