About Complex Rehab Technology

Complex rehab technology products and services include medically necessary, individually configured manual and power wheelchair systems, adaptive seating systems, alternative positioning systems, and other mobility devices that require evaluation, fitting, configuration, adjustment, or programming.

Here in Marx Medical we specialize in finding unique solutions for some of the most difficult scenarios that are presented to us.

Complex rehab technology, usually called CRT, is a term that many people who use wheelchairs are familiar with, but it’s not known broadly and isn’t well understood. CRT refers to adaptive equipment for handicapped that is medically necessary and individually configured. 

 

The importance of CRT

So, why is this important? With an appropriate wheelchair and seating components, there can be drastic improvements in someone’s ability to be healthy, independent, and living a happy and fruitful life. CRT is important because it can reduce a patient’s pain, improve their breathing status by being more upright, provide stability so they have less fatigue, allow them to be repositioned and help them progress to independent transfers. Without CRT, patients can experience greater levels of pain, they might not reach the same level of mobility, and they are more likely to face other medical complications in the future.

Marx Medical utilizes Complex Rehab Technology (CRT) and as a leader in mobility solutions can build custom mobility equipment tailored to an individual's unique, complicated, and evolving needs so they can focus on what's most important in life.

By embracing new technologies, rehab devices can help patients to reach new levels of performance.
