Aldavida Physical Therapy (APT)
GlideTrak for Home
In 2018 the company operated a Research Center led by Dr Anne Boyd, Dr. Andy Concourse where proprietary gait training programs for stroke and especially Parkinson's were developed. After 2 years of work, the Aldavida Physical Therapy business model took shape to bring these advanced gait-training capabilities directly into patient’s homes, reducing the need for clients with mobility limitations to travel to outpatient clinics where compliance drops to less than 25%GlideTrak Zero Gravity Gait Trainer
Under this model, Aldavida PT placed leased GlideTrak units into patient homes paired with Medicare covered licensed physical therapists trained in Aldavida’s proprietary gait-retraining protocols combined with their best practices therapy programs. This hybrid approach to learning to walk again Is well-studied to offer the best results possible for individuals on the journey to relearning to walk-- without having to drive to a clinic!
In Partnership with Kindred Home Health (et al) a pilot field test of this home based therapy business yielded solid customer acceptance and physical therapist enthusiasm. Importantly, both Part A and Part B Medicare insurance covered gait therapy coding for all tested patients. While Covid and then a sale of Kindred diverted the program, the results of the pilot support management’s belief that a home-based GlideTrak home therapy business model can be both clinically valuable and commercially scalable. Like Luna physical therapy, now passing through $1 billion of Medicare reimbursement, APT is poised to leverage the monumental change in Medicare Part B To reimburse Licensed physical therapy in the home of clients. APT, with the exclusive use of GlideTrak Is the only program designed specifically for operation in the House.
