ELGIN, SC - Healing Innovations, a leader in advanced rehabilitation technology, has partnered with Midlands Regional Rehabilitation Hospital, bringing their groundbreaking Rise&Walk® InClinic platform to patients in Elgin, South Carolina. The collaboration is already live with clinical staff fully trained, and the Rise&Walk is actively being used to support patient recovery across the Midlands region.

The Rise&Walk is the world’s first 3-in-1 rehabilitation station, combining robotic-assisted gait training, seated reciprocal stepping, and standing balance support in a single compact system. Designed specifically for inpatient rehabilitation workflows, the Rise&Walk enables one clinician to deliver intensive, high-repetition therapy sessions - producing between 1,500 and 2,000 steps per session, while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety. This level of repetition is essential for promoting neuroplasticity and accelerating functional recovery.

“This partnership with Midlands Regional Rehabilitation Hospital reflects our shared commitment to transforming the rehabilitation experience for patients. The Rise&Walk brings together the best of technology and clinical expertise, and we could not be more excited to see it in the hands of one of the region’s most respected healthcare institutions,” said Luke Benda, CEO of Healing Innovations.

Clinical evidence supporting the Rise&Walk demonstrates meaningful improvements in recovery timelines, patient engagement, and long-term functional outcomes. By integrating the platform into its multidisciplinary rehab programs, Midlands Regional Rehabilitation Hospital will be positioned to offer patients a higher standard of care from the first day of treatment through discharge and beyond.

“Our mission has always been to help patients reclaim their lives as fully and as quickly as possible,” said Lyndsey Jarema, OTD, OTR/L, Director of Therapy Operations at Midlands Regional Rehabilitation Hospital. “Partnering with Healing Innovations and adopting the Rise&Walk platform is a direct investment in that mission. We are proud to offer our community access to this innovative technology, and we look forward to the impact it will have on the patients and families we serve.”

The Rise&Walk is designed to support the complex neurological patient populations served by Midlands Regional Rehabilitation Hospital, including individuals with spinal cord injury, stroke, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease, and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Its 3-in-1 design enables clinicians to deliver adaptable, high-intensity therapy across multiple stages of recovery within a single system. Serving Kershaw, Richland, Lexington, and Sumter counties, Midlands Regional is expanding access to advanced neurorehabilitation technology for patients across the Midlands region.
