![]() It provides new technology in a tranquil setting, offering an immersive experience for clients to promote recovery of motor skills and cognitive function. We tried out the MindPod, which is one of only two in the UK. ![]() STEPS also offers MindMaze technology, which uses neuroscience to create movement-based digital solutions to holistically train and assess motor and cognitive function objectively. Our teams tried the equipment to appreciate first-hand how it incorporates games into rehabilitation, allowing patients to play alone or with others, making their rehabilitation a much more fun and engaging process which has delivered excellent results. ![]() The RehabHub is home to some incredible technology, developed by Fourier Intelligence and Thor Assistive Technologies, including the Arm Motus, Wrist Motus and Ankle Motus. Welcomed to the centre by its founders and directors, Jules Shiel-Boulger and Toria Chan, we were able to view and sample some of the state-of-the-art upper and lower limb robotic equipment used as part of the rehabilitation process. On 13 April, Clyde & Co’s Spinal Injury Subject Matter Group arranged a visit to STEPS Rehabilitation’s residential centre in Sheffield for a tour of their facilities in order that we could fully understand and experience how they provide rehabilitation to clients recovering from brain, amputation and spinal injuries. They also have one self-contained flat within the facility for those clients with specific needs and this has been used most recently with a young adult developing their own independence and a patient who had a baby just a few months old at their time of the rehabilitation. STEPS has been designed to feel non-clinical, comfortable and homely for clients during their stays, this really is clear when we visited and gives those staying there a real sense of independence. The premises are home to a 23 bedroom, residential and day rehabilitation facility with a large therapy gym, skills kitchens, hydrotherapy pool, RehabHub, music room, café/dining space and a garden room.
