The rapid advances in technology benefit both clinicians and their clients. Technology ranges from exoskeletons that allow paraplegic clients to walk, monitoring devices that prevent individuals with Alzheimer’s from wandering out of their homes, anatomy tables that replace cadavers, and equipment for biofeedback in the clinic, from pelvic floor contraction to balance and gait analysis. The clinician’s responsibility is to keep up-to-date with any equipment and technology relevant to their clientele and provide appropriate referrals or guidance to individuals seeking more information about specific types of technology.
