Equipment
At Spark, we offer state-of-the-art rehabilitation equipment specifically selected to meet the complex needs of individuals with neurologic and balance impairments. From bodyweight-supported gait systems and underwater treadmills to adaptive gaming technology and electrical stimulation, each tool is designed to address specific deficits in motor control, strength, balance, coordination, and mobility. Our advanced equipment allows for safe, customized, and high-quality interventions that accelerate recovery and maximize functional outcomes. We’re committed to providing the most effective therapy experience possible—backed by technology, guided by expertise, and centered around your goals.
Hydroworx Rise - Underwater Treadmill
The HydroWorx Rise underwater treadmill is a cutting-edge rehabilitation tool that combines the benefits of water immersion with dynamic gait training, making it ideal for patients with stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Parkinson’s disease, and spinal cord injury (SCI). The warm water supports and gently offloads body weight, reducing joint stress while allowing for safer movement and improved range of motion. It also relaxes tight muscles, eases spasticity, and enhances circulation, creating an ideal environment for retraining walking and balance. This state-of-the-art system enables patients to engage in high-quality, low-impact therapy earlier in their recovery, helping to restore function, build confidence, and accelerate progress toward independence.
Treadmill and Overground Bodyweight Support Harness
Overhead harness systems, used over treadmills or over ground, provide a safe and supportive way for patients with neurologic or balance impairments to practice walking and movement without the risk of falling. These systems allow individuals to challenge their balance and mobility in a controlled environment while therapists can focus on gait training and improving motor control. They are considered state-of-the-art because they enable high-repetition, task-specific practice—key principles in neurorehabilitation—without compromising safety. This technology helps patients build confidence, improve walking ability, and reach their recovery goals more efficiently.
SciFit Recumbent Stepper
The SciFit recumbent stepper is a versatile and accessible exercise machine designed to improve cardiovascular fitness, endurance, range of motion, and strength—especially in individuals with neurologic conditions or mobility impairments. Its step-through design and adjustable seat allow easy transfers, including for individuals in wheelchairs, while the low-impact, reciprocal motion promotes safe, functional movement. It includes precise measurement tools for tracking performance, heart rate, and progress, and can even be used for clinical tests like submaximal cardiovascular assessments. This state-of-the-art device supports rehabilitation by offering customizable resistance and bilateral training, making it an ideal tool for recovery and long-term fitness across a wide range of abilities.
Therapeutic Adaptive Gaming
Therapeutic adaptive video gaming setups use specially designed controllers and software to engage patients in fun, interactive games that target rehabilitation goals—making them especially effective for individuals recovering from stroke, Parkinson’s disease (PD), and spinal cord injury (SCI). These systems help improve fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, reaction time, and graded motor control by turning therapy into a game-like experience that encourages repetition and effort. Because the activities can be customized and progressively challenging, patients stay motivated and engaged throughout their recovery. This gamified approach combines clinical benefit with enjoyment, supporting neuroplasticity and maximizing functional gains in a modern, patient-centered way.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation is a therapeutic technique used in physical therapy to support muscle activation, reduce pain, and improve function in individuals with neurologic conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury (SCI), or Parkinson’s disease. Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) and Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) help strengthen weak muscles, re-educate movement patterns, and even assist with walking or arm use by triggering specific muscle contractions. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) targets nerve pathways to relieve pain without medication. These state-of-the-art technologies enhance recovery by promoting neuroplasticity, preventing muscle atrophy, and enabling safer, more effective rehabilitation tailored to each patient’s needs.
Insight-Pro Infrared Video Vestibular Goggles
Infrared video vestibular goggles are advanced diagnostic tools used to evaluate how well your inner ear and brain work together to control balance and eye movements. These goggles use infrared cameras to record your eye movements in complete darkness, which helps clinicians detect subtle abnormalities that can’t be seen with the naked eye. Because they offer a clear, real-time view of involuntary eye movements (called nystagmus), they are considered state-of-the-art in diagnosing dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders. This precision allows your healthcare provider to accurately pinpoint the cause of your symptoms and design the most effective, personalized treatment plan for better, faster recovery
Instrumented Balance Pressure Matt
An instrumented balance pressure mat like the BodiTrak2 is a state-of-the-art tool used to assess and improve balance, especially in individuals with neurologic conditions. It captures real-time data on how your body distributes weight and how much you sway while standing, helping your therapist measure stability and track progress objectively. The mat also supports guided exercises for weight shifting, postural control, and balance training, making therapy more targeted and effective. By turning invisible balance issues into clear, measurable data, it helps us design personalized interventions that lead to better, safer outcomes.
Standing Frame
Standing frames are specialized devices that support individuals with neurologic conditions in a safe, upright position when independent standing isn’t possible. They provide crucial benefits like reducing spasticity, maintaining bone density, and improving bowel and bladder function by promoting normal weight-bearing and circulation. Standing frames also allow for therapeutic exercises—such as reaching, stretching, and upper body movements—that enhance strength, posture, and endurance. By incorporating regular, supported standing into a rehab plan, these state-of-the-art tools help prevent complications, support overall health, and improve quality of life as part of a comprehensive recovery approach.
Slip Trainer
Slip trainers are specialized rehabilitation devices designed to safely train reactive balance and improve your body’s ability to respond to sudden slips or loss of balance—especially important for individuals with neurologic or balance impairments. They allow therapists to create controlled, unpredictable perturbations that help you practice quick, protective stepping reactions in a safe, supported environment. This training targets the same reflexes your body uses to prevent falls in real life, building confidence, coordination, and faster recovery responses. As a specialized balance tool, slip trainers play a vital role in fall prevention and functional mobility, helping you stay safer and more independent in daily life
