Shirley Ryan AbilityLab Inpatient Program

 STRENGTH + ENDURANCE LAB

The Nancy W. Knowles Strength + Endurance Lab is designed for patients working on building stamina and resilience. Therapy is targeted to improve complex motor and endurance activities, coordination and higher-level activities of daily living (cooking, dressing, gardening, sports). PEDIATRIC LAB In the Grainger Pediatric Lab, therapy is often cleverly disguised as play. For example, a tool for stretching, strengthening and developing coordination might take the form of a high-tech, neon-green jungle gym. A device to build strength and endurance might feel like riding a bike. Software games designed to improve thinking and speaking might be adapted for toddlers or teens and we don't forget the classic forms of therapy: aquatic, cognitive, and speech and language.
