New program provides structured at-home recovery support and live check-ins with neuro specialists, ensuring accountability and continued progress after in-person therapy ends or becomes limited
IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Flint Rehab, a provider of at-home rehabilitation devices and programs for stroke and brain injury survivors, today launched the Remote Neuro Recovery Program, an online program designed to help people continue making progress when in-person therapy ends or becomes limited. Available for $99 per month, the program provides structured at-home recovery support and monthly live check-ins with a neuro specialist, with no insurance or medical referral required. Built by Flint Rehab’s team of physical therapists and occupational therapists, the Remote Neuro Recovery Program is designed for patients recovering from a stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, and other neurological conditions.
Because health insurance plans significantly limit the number of rehabilitation encounters for stroke and brain injury survivors, patients often lose care coverage well before their recovery has reached its optimal goal. Research shows approximately 81% of stroke survivors receive fewer than 40 rehabilitation sessions following their stroke. Once insurance-covered care ends or becomes limited, patients are left to navigate recovery on their own while private-pay costs, transportation challenges and limited access to neuro-specialized providers can make continued care difficult.
Meanwhile, research shows that remote neuro recovery visits can be just as impactful as in-clinic care for many outcomes. One study comparing cognitive telerehabilitation to traditional face-to-face cognition treatment for patients suffering from cognitive dysfunction found that remote care was not inferior to traditional in-person treatments. Another study focused on stroke survivors discovered it is more likely that telerehabilitation may be as effective as conventional therapy for improving health-related quality of life measures. According to research from earlier this year, there were no significant differences observed in language, cognitive, or functional independence outcomes for stroke survivors who received telerehabilitation compared to those who received conventional outpatient therapy.
“Recovery from a stroke or brain injury doesn’t stop just because in-person therapy appointments end or become limited. Our Remote Neuro Recovery Program provides an effective, affordable, and convenient way for individuals to continue progressing outside the clinic,” said Phil Rossi, Chief Marketing Officer, Flint Rehab. “This program eliminates major barriers that keep stroke and brain injury survivors from fully recovering: there’s no need for insurance or referrals, and check-ins happen online when it’s most convenient for the patient. With our help, stroke and brain injury survivors get much-needed support from a team that truly understands the neurological implications of their injury.”
Flint Rehab’s Remote Neuro Recovery Program: How It Works
Remote Neuro Recovery Program participants are matched to a program from a library built by Flint Rehab’s team of physical therapists and occupational therapists. The program includes monthly visits with a neuro specialist and exercise videos that can be viewed on any phone, tablet, or laptop.
Without having to rely only on an app or worry if insurance will cover the program, participants perform their daily or weekly exercises in accordance with their specific program, while meeting with their Neuro Rehab Coach every month via a telerehab appointment to ensure accountability and to receive practical guidance and progress updates. Because the remote format makes the program accessible beyond a traditional clinic setting, caregivers or family members are also able to join the monthly check-ins to support their loved ones.
The Remote Neuro Recovery Program is offered globally and has received glowing reviews from participants with early access to the platform. According to one participant who was told he would have to wait at least three months for a traditional rehabilitation therapy appointment, the program has improved his cognitive processing speed by 70% and helped him regain hand closure movements: “All I can say is I joined this program and it’s the cornerstone of my recovery. I use the program every day.”
