Learn about our lower limb rehabilitation programs
At VIM Health, we use a combination of traditional hands-on therapies and state-of-the-art rehabilitation technology for our lower limb rehabilitation programs, with the aim to improve the function of the lower limbs and enabling an individual to stand, walk and climb stairs. Our multi-disciplinary team will first carry out a movement analysis and assessment to identify any specific problems in the trunk, pelvis, leg and foot.

Who Can Benefit From Lower Limb Rehabilitation?
Lower limb rehabilitation is beneficial for anyone that is having trouble with the ability to stand or walk. This includes those who have suffered a stroke, spinal cord injury, acquired head injury or Poly-trauma.
In addition, several medical conditions can impact an individual’s ability to stand and walk, including Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease and Motor Neurone Disease.
The loss of lower limb function can be life-altering, reducing mobility and making it challenging to carry out basic tasks, such as toileting, bathing and dressing. Because we have a MDT approach we can address a variety of challenges that someone may face.
