New rehabilitation interventions and clinical trial opportunities
Because our clinical and research staff are located under the same roof, best practices are established and translated through to our delivery of patient care immediately. Patients are welcome to participate in clinical trials before they are offered to the public and have access to the technology developed by our research team.
For instance, our ZeroG® Gait and Balance Training system was invented by our team of researchers at MedStar NRH. Advances like this are available to our patients before they are released to rehabilitation facilities across the country.
