The Jackson T. Stephens Spine and Neurosciences Institute is a
12-story facility at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences
(UAMS). It houses the Center for the Athletic and Aging Spine and
several departments of the UAMS College of Medicine.
The Center for the Athletic and Aging Spine in the Stephens
Institute has an expansive physical therapy room with special
equipment that measures minute improvement to accurately document
patients' progress.
The Center for the Athletic and Aging Spine also has a swimming pool
that is wheelchair accessible and designed for water therapy. Water
is most often associated in helping those with traumatic spinal cord
injuries, but it is also beneficial for other types of patients,
such as those who need post-operative care or have had spinal
reconstruction because of degenerative changes or cancers. Walking
in waist-deep water is a common resistance therapy designed to
improve mobility and strength. The pool has a unique walking path
with handrail that extends all the way around its perimeter.
The new Jackson T. Stephens
Spine and Neurosciences
Institute
is the tallest building on
the UAMS
campus and has
sweeping views
of central Arkansas.
Intricate millwork, granite flooring, and soft, recessed
lighting contribute to the beauty of the entrance.
The clinic areas feature bright exams rooms and
warm color schemes.
The 38 exam rooms are both functional and
comfortable.
This therapeutic whirlpool has a hydro-lift for
patients with limited mobility. It has a capacity of six to
eight patients.
The water therapy pool is the only one of its
kind in the region. Wheelchair-accessible, with a walking
path around its perimeter, this state-of-the-art pool
provides invaluable therapy to improve mobility and
strength.
