• Kernan Physical Therapy
  Kernan utilizes state-of-the-art therapeutic technologies such as VitalStim, an electrical stimulation system for patients with swallowing disorders, and the H200 Hand Recovery system for patients with limited use of their upper extremities. It is one of 12 hospitals and rehabilitation centers in the United States—and the only facility in Maryland—to use Lokomat, a robot-assisted gait training device that helps to stimulate areas of the spinal cord that are thought to control the ability to walk.
