Family Track Program

Our most popular program and the one most of our clients who have made the most recovery have chosen. This program teaches a family member or friend how to safely and effectively train their loved one at their home or gym. This program allows our clients to stay at home while getting the proper stimulation to regain function. We supply the family member or friend with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively work an individual?s paralyzed body through a personalized exercise program.

The program requires the family member who will be your trainer, to attend all of your workout sessions at Project Walk during your week visit. During this time, you and your trainer will be introduced to the Dardzinski Method?, your baseline evaluation, and the development of your individualized program while under the supervision of a Project Walk Certified SCI Recovery Specialist.

Prior to coming to Project Walk your family "trainer" must meet the following criteria:

  • Read the SCI 101 study guide--a manual that covers the issues associated with SCI and how they are related to Project Walk ideals*
  • Take and pass (with 80% proficiency) the SCI 101 exam*
  • Read and understand the Project Walk Safety and Professionalism guidelines*

*Note-These items will be mailed to your family member ?trainer? no later than 2 weeks prior to your arrival at Project Walk.

You begin your visit with an orientation meeting a Project Walk Specialist. At this time, we will go over your required paperwork and answer any questions you or your family may have about the program. We will also discuss the agenda for the week.

Morning Session: Once the meeting is concluded we will begin the client evaluation and the DAS assessment in which you will be assisting. Once the evaluation is concluded you will begin a normal workout. The morning is intended for the client to receive a normal workout while family members observe and take notes.

Afternoon Session: During the afternoon the family member training you will have two hours of hands-on training under the supervision of a Project Walk Specialist.
