SEATTLE – Healing Innovations, a leader in advanced rehabilitation technology, is pleased to announce the Rise&Walk® is now in use at Providence Swedish Rehabilitation Hospital, where it will improve recovery outcomes for patients in Seattle and Snohomish County, Wash. communities.‍

Providence Swedish Rehabilitation Hospital offers personalized, intensive rehabilitation programs designed to support recovery from various conditions including stroke, brain injury, neurological disorders, trauma and spinal cord injuries. 

With a focus on maximizing health, function, and quality of life, Providence Swedish Rehabilitation Hospital will now be able to enhance recovery outcomes with the cutting-edge Rise&Walk technology.

"Bringing technology like the Rise&Walk to our hospital furthers our commitment to helping patients regain independence and improve their quality of life," said Hilary Wirkkala, DPT at Providence Swedish Rehabilitation Hospital. "The addition of leading-edge robotic technology to our therapy programs will benefit patients recovering from a wide variety of illnesses, while making it easier for our team to deliver the highest quality of care.” 

The Rise&Walk is specifically designed for patients with neurological and mobility impairments, enhancing gait training by coordinating movements of the upper and lower extremities. This innovative neurorehabilitation station combines robotic-assisted gait therapy, seated exercises, and balance support, all designed to stimulate neuroplasticity — a critical component of functional recovery.

“By bringing Rise&Walk to hospitals like Providence Swedish Rehabilitation Hospital, we are able to provide innovative rehabilitation technology to even more patients, helping them accelerate their recovery and regain independence,” said Luke Benda, CEO of Healing Innovations. “We’re excited to collaborate with Providence Swedish Rehabilitation Hospital  as they deliver exceptional care while making a meaningful impact on the lives of patients in the Puget Sound region.”
