WPTA 2006 annual spring conference,
Wisconsin Dells, WI
From a PT with hospital-based specialty
in swing bed, and outpatient cardiopulmonary rehab
“I came thinking of using this for
swing bed and outpatients. The more I think the more uses I can
find. On Monday I intend to try this with my cardiac patients to
increase truck movement, extend time walking by changing patients’
focus. Also for its calming effects. (For those “Type A” cardiac
patients and for the anxious pulmonary patients.)
From a PTA working in SNF/Sub-acute
care facility, specializing in neurological, degenerative and orthopedic
deficits.
“I am so excited to implement this
ambulation alternative with my patients. It will be exciting to see
the effectiveness on my patients that have a fear of falling
secondary to a past experience.
From a PTA employed at a hospital-based
rehab clinic; and specializing in balance and vestibular rehab
“The Infinity Walk is a remarkable
way to integrate several factors at once. I can see utilizing this
method as soon as I return to the clinic.”
From a PTA specializing in pediatrics
“I liked having the participants be
demonstration and training examples throughout the day and seeing
change made (in us) in such a short period of time. I’m very excited
about using the (Infinity) walk more and fine-tuning how I presently
use it during treatment. I liked the examples of advancing the walk
to make it more challenging. Enjoyed the course very much. The
speaker’s casual style makes understanding very easy and is a good
example of how to explain it to patients and make it enjoyable.”
From a PT with over 20 years of
specializing in pediatrics
“What I liked the most about this
course is the simplicity of the treatment, but the complexity of the
areas that are affected!”
From a PTA working in an
inpatient/outpatient/SNF facility
“I liked how the method works
outside of the straight lines with gait and motor skill. And I liked
the way you teach treatment of the whole body/person (rather than
segmental).
From a PT with over 20 years experience
in outpatient pediatrics
“I appreciated the depth and breadth
of Deborah’s experience and her commitment to the development and
application of the Infinity Walk. The presentation and handouts were
excellent.”
From a PT working in an outpatient
ortho- and neuro-rehab setting
“Pleasantly surprised as to how
broad a method this is and how many patients this could be applied
to.”
From a PTA with 20 years experience in
pediatrics
“Deborah was easy to listen to,
easy to follow her teaching style. I stayed engaged the entire time
of the course.”
From a PT/owner of a private clinic
“This is amazing – and I thank you
for bringing this to us!
