At Tampa General Hospital, all interventions used with the patients are evidence-based practice. For example, a patient sustained a TBI and SCI from a two-story fall while working at a construction site. The patient sustained a C5 spine fracture and is a level II ranchos. To engage the patient we used a tilt table for NDT weight-bearing and possibly an increase in cognition. There is many evidence based literature on the benefits of using a tilt table not only for physical therapy, but for occupational therapy as well.
