ZeroG®; Helping You Get Better!

“The greatest success is being yourself.“

Success is striving to achieve goals and dreams despite the challenges that we come across in our daily lives. Success has no shortcuts.

My success is measured everyday by seeing the smiles of our residents and staff and knowing that I can truly be myself in doing so.

THE SUSQUEHANNA UNIT ENJOYSA GAME OF BLING BLING BINGO

Brookside is thrilled to be the first skilled nursing facility worldwide to acquire ZeroG® with the Woodway treadmill for use in post acute recovery care, rapid rehabilitation and slower prevailing rehabilitation for

lower level patients. The ZeroG® software includes interactive balance training and games with visual feedback, making therapy fun and engaging while encouraging participation. ZeroG® prevents falls and gives individuals the confidence to push the limits of what is possible.

“The first time I was scared out of my wits, so I said to myself they’re not going to let anything happen to me. Go with it! So I did and it gave me a feeling I haven’t had since before I was in the hospital. ZeroG® and Brookside gave me that back!”

—Linda L. / Post-Hospital Rehabilitation Patient & ZeroG User
