A 67-year-old patient was referred to a skilled nursing facility for rehabilitation services after hospitalization due to a second stroke, which resulted in lower extremity weakness and decreased balance. Before this stroke, he lived at home with his wife and walked with a hemi-walker. To help him regain his strength and independence, his care team incorporated the OmniStand® Dynamic Balance System into his balance training.
