Details of Sensory Rehabilitation Program:
- We run a sensory rehabilitation program that aims to reconnect the visual, auditory, and vestibular systems to higher-order brain function. We have termed this program “TRILOGY” because of the three sensory systems it targets.
- This program requires patients to undergo 12 consecutive days of 1-hour in-office therapy followed by 18 days of at-home therapy. This position facilitates both parts of this journey for our patients (observe and facilitate the in-office therapy, then explain and dispense the at-home therapy).
- We typically run the program in a cycle:
- 2 weeks on (in-office therapy 12 days consecutively, encompassing one weekend).
- 1 week off (no patients in office for therapy – this time is used to organize for the next rotation or take time off).
