Hand Centre

Clinique NeuroGym®’s Hand Centre is focused on providing upper extremity care to improve arm and hand mobility and function.

Clinique NeuroGym®'s Hand Centre

Our team of physiotherapists will design a treatment plan to help you:

One of the leading treatment methodologies for improving hand and upper limb function in recent years has been ‘Constraint Induced Movement Therapy’ (CI or CIMT). CI intensifies use of the ‘damaged’ limb by constraining the undamaged limb in a way that forces use of the affected limb.

It has been an effective therapy because it enforces repeated use of the involved upper extremity – sometimes for hours a day. This intensity of training is what leads to better brain control of the desired movement through plastic processes in the brain and central nervous system.

Unfortunately, CI therapy is limited to people who can already perform at a fairly high level of function with the affected limb or hand. This means that for the majority of people with very limited hand and arm mobility, effective options for significant rehabilitation have been few. At NeuroGym®’s Hand Centre, we now have the technology and experience to provide you with intensive therapy – even if your arm or hand function is extremely limited.

The NeuroGym® Difference

Neurogym®’s active approach and patented technology allow patients to take action in their own recovery. Whenever possible, the patient, not the therapist, initiates movement, which can help rewire the brain and speed up recovery.

We offer evidence-based, leading-edge methodologies & technologies including:

Advanced EMG (muscle) biofeedback
Multi-Sensor & Camera-based biofeedback
SAEBO & other active splints
Resistance Training
Dexterity and fine motor skill exercises
Neuromuscular electric stimulation
Repetitive transcrannial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) with Clinique Neuro-Outaouais

What Our Clients Are Saying

I found NeuroGym after my mum had a massive stroke in February 2020. After 4 months of virtual therapy with NeuroGym, my mum has progressed from someone who I thought would never get out of bed to a one person assist.

I have MS, I’ve had MS since I was 18. My doctors had said “no, it’s chronic progressive”. But NeuroGym has given me the opportunity to build strength. It’s made a huge difference.

My son was getting married and I really wanted to walk up the aisle with my husband. NeuroGym helped me do it.

I have Parkinson’s Disease. Over the months I have improved in both strength and balance while my disease has not noticeably deteriorated at all. I feel fortunate to have found NeuroGym. The outlook for my disease without it could have been grim indeed.

Our son had a stroke when he was 14 years old. He has been involved in five to seven day a week therapy. The recovery has been amazing. It’s been beyond expectations and dramatic.

I was in a bad state and was discharged home in a coma. Then I began with Avi and the growth was exponential. The rest is history, I was here for twelve years. It’s a great place, I can’t express my thanks enough.

When I first came here I had almost no strength in my legs and I could barely move my right leg. You can imagine going from not being able to move at all, to standing, to being able to walk! This is the way for me to stay in shape and stay healthy.

This place is amazing, it gives people hope and opens doors in so many ways.
