Frequently Asked Questions
What makes iAM ABLE unique and different?
iAM ABLE is different because we understand. We are founded and directed by someone living with paralysis which creates a unique level of understanding throughout the organization.
What type of training and results should I expect at iAM ABLE?
Our staff only works with the paralysis community. Our programming is more intense and specialized. This allows us to get results not frequently possible with traditional rehab.
What is the cost? Do you take insurance?
Insurances water down and limit the therapy received for paralysis survivors. It limits the aggressiveness and specialization needed for maximizing paralysis recovery. The cost of our services is $130/hr and we don't bill insurance. We actually exist because of the problem insurance tends to create after paralysis.
What services do we offer?
We offer many services not found anywhere else in the Miami area specifically focused on paralysis recovery. Including activity-based therapy, physical therapy, Lokomat gait training, functional electrical stimulation (FES) training and much more. We also provide mentorship, networking, and a paralysis resource center.
Can anyone use the Lokomat?
The Lokomat can be used by our clients who have appropriate bone density, joint stability, and no skin issues. Once cleared to use the Lokomat you will train on the robotic gait trainer, increasing by 5-minute increments each session with a maximum of 45 minutes. Lokomat offers the most physiological gait pattern with constant feedback. It improves client outcomes by increasing therapy volume, and intensity, providing task-specific training and increasing client engagement.
Does iAM ABLE provide anything else along with one on one training?
Absolutely, we provide support, guidance, mentoring and so much more. At iAM ABLE, you will be treated like family and most of the time, our clients build strong friendships with the staff. We are here to help you in any way, whether it be finding a place to get wheelchair parts, inviting you out to community spinal cord injury group events, and we even know of an accessible fishing and diving boat! We aren’t just here to provide a great workout. We will provide as much assistance we can with our years of knowledge in the paralysis field.
