NextStep Orlando is a internationally recognized non-profit organization that exists to provide an improved quality of life for individuals living with a Spinal Cord Injury, Multiple Sclerosis, Transverse Myelitis and other neurological conditions. The Evidence Based Therapeutic Exercise Recovery Program at NSO is balanced with the importance of nutrition and metabolic support. NextStep Orlando is

committed to offering SCI clients the opportunity to push their self beyond the expectations of standardized medical care. THE PROGRAM:
The intense activity based therapy protocols are individually designed to increase the probability of recovery, hope and dreams that were once lost. Our programs integrate the latest advancements in technology that focuses on re-establishing motor pathways and strengthening existing signals instead of compensatory strategies. THE THEORY:
The theory behind Activity Based Therapy is to activate the neuromuscular system above and below the level of injury in order to retrain the central nervous system to recover function of a specific motor task. ABT weight-bearing exercises and motor skills training decrease spasticity and ignite the neural patterns that stimulate mobility. It draws on the central nervous system’s ability to spontaneously regenerate (neural plasticity) after injury in response to high-intensity physical activities like cycling and treadmill training. Locomotor training is a form of ABT that re-teaches walking by using a treadmill system in combination with manual assistance by specially trained staff. LT uses vigorous repetitive exercise to activate dormant nerve pathways by repeatedly stimulating the muscles and nerves below the injury site. It leads to enhanced neural communication and improvements in the ability to walk and stand while diminishing the detrimental consequences of physical inactivity such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, incontinence and poor muscle strength

Hard work ✔️

Using the Xcite Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) system by , our client Ariana is working through leg presses on the Total Gym while receiving coordinated NeuroMuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) to activate targeted muscle groups and help retrain movement patterns below the level of injury. The Xcite system provides multi-channel stimulation designed to support functional, task-specific movements while increasing sensory input to the Nervous System!

At NextStep Orlando, NMES is used as part of our Activity-Based Therapy program to promote recovery of neuromuscular function, improve strength, and encourage repetitive movement through sensory and motor activation.

Recovery is never passive — it takes repetition, intention, science, teamwork, and determination. And Ariana continues to show up ready to put in the work every single session 🩵⚡️
