All potential participants are required to meet a set of criteria prior to admission. These criteria are established to ensure that those who participate are appropriate for this kind of therapy. All those who are interested must first receive an evaluation from the project staff.
Evaluations consist of assessments of movement, balance, medical, and cognitive status.
If a person is considered appropriate for the project after receiving an evaluation, they are then placed on a list of potential participants. People are scheduled for entry into the project as soon as is feasible. Those who participate are asked to remain in therapy for a period of up to three weeks. Participation in the project requires a good deal of self-discipline. Participants must also be willing to work diligently during the daily therapy sessions in the clinic.
