Ability also recently announced the relocation of its Charlotte, N.C. patient care office in 2011. The new facility can accommodate three practitioners and is designed to meet the needs of patients with features that include wide hallways, wheelchair accessible restrooms, pediatrics specialty room, scanning room and enlarged gait training room with steps, ramps and 24 foot parallel bars for walking amputees and brace wearers.
“The gait room in this office is premier,” Jeffrey Brandt, CPO, chief operating officer of Ability, stated. “The interactive room will set an even higher standard for the delivery and training process our patients currently enjoy.”
