Based on a participant’s condition and recovery goals, a range of interventions can be delivered to address specific functional, neurological and musculoskeletal needs, including:

• Advanced passive and powered orthotics and prosthetics
• Assistive and adaptive technologies
• Digital health technology, including augmented and virtual reality
• Exoskeletons and robotic devices
• Functional electrical stimulation
• Neuromodulation, including transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation and transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation

The Tech Immersion Clinic offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary care model that combines physician oversight with specialized interventions from expert research-clinicians. Each participant begins with an individualized evaluation to develop a personalized plan based on their goals, needs and functional abilities.

Program participation is structured in four-week intervals, with progress reassessed every four weeks to evaluate outcomes and determine next steps. Following each reassessment, the Tech Immersion Clinic team will recommend whether continued participation is appropriate based on the participant's progress and goals. Short-term, customized program options are also available and can be tailored to complement a participant's broader rehabilitation plan.
