Kerry presented to Louisville East Post Acute with a recent injury from her work resulting in bilateral fibula fractures. She had bilateral medical walking boots and was allowed to bear weight for transfers only.

The problem with this is she has a 40-step entrance into her home, no elevator!

Kerry was very pleasant and a very hard worker. She participated in Physical and Occupational Therapy evaluations. The therapists designed her goals with the intention of returning home alone. Therefore, she had to be independent to modified independent with dressing, bathing, cooking, walking and of course climbing 40 stairs.

She followed the therapeutic exercises for the lower and upper body as designed by her PT and OT to strengthen and improve her activity tolerance. She was educated in compensatory techniques and Fall prevention. Once the Orthopedic MD allowed, she was able to participate in static and dynamic balance activities.

She gradually increased her endurance, strength and balance to climb 4 steps. Then 8…20 and today 40 steps she can climb!

As you can see from her photo she felt like Rocky at the top of those stairs!

Congratulations Kerry for working hard with all of the exercises and reaching your goals of returning home alone!

Donald presented to Louisville East Post-Acute after a fall at home sustaining bilateral patellar tendon ruptures and status post repair on 6/11/2025. Donald wore bilateral knee immobilizers and had an order per orthotic MD to keep knees in locked extension during activities/ADLs. His prior level of function was independent with ADLs, homemaking, and functional mobility. He lives alone with a 12-step entry into his home.

He was evaluated by Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy and was a candidate for all three therapies. In PT the challenge was to move in bed and to move from sitting to standing with his knees locked in extension. In OT the challenge was lower body dressing and all toileting skills. In ST, Donald felt the new medications he needed to take were affecting his memory. During a cognitive assessment he scored in the moderate deficit range.

His plan was to return home alone or possibly with family pending on his progress in therapy.

Donald had a specific treatment protocol per the Orthopedic MD for his bilateral knees to follow. PT and OT were able to accommodate these precautions while improving his independence. They educated him on compensatory techs and adaptive equipment to utilize to be able to function independently with ADLs and functional mobility.

His time in ST served him well through participating in the cognitive program. At discharge from ST, he was able to increase standardized assessment score to within functional limit. Functionally he was able to advocate for his wants and needs, maintain fluent conversations, manage his medication and manage his finances and appointments.

After participating several weeks in therapy and adhering to the Ortho MD protocol, Donald was able to return to his prior level of function. He was able to perform all ADLs with modified independence. As far as his functional mobility he was modified independent with bed mobility, transfers, walking more than 300 feet with a rolling walker and negotiating 15 steps with left handrail.

These are all the things he needed to accomplish to go back home safely! Congrats Donald on achieving your goals.

Tonight at the Kentuckiana Stroke Association Annual Tasting Extravaganza our very own Pathways participant Todd was honored as a stroke survivor.

Dwight "Todd" had been experiencing right sided weakness, facial droop, and aphasia when he went to University of Kentucky emergency room for evaluation on December 18, 2024. It was determined that Todd had suffered a severe left basal ganglia stroke, but he was not a candidate for TPA or thrombectomy interventions. However, Todd did not let that deter his recovery. Once he was medically stable, Todd began his stroke rehabilitation at Cardinal Hill Rehabilitation Hospital. His rehabilitation team there felt he would be a good candidate for the Pathways program and so he transitioned to Pathways in March of 2025. Since he started the Pathways Program, Todd has been motivated and enthusiastic about working with his physical, speech, and occupational therapists. His unfaltering dedication to his rehabilitation has led to improvements in his physical, cognitive, and communication abilities. Todd is now walking without any physical help from the therapy staff and is able to go up and down 12 stairs. He is also able to successfully communicate with his AAC device and continues to work towards eating a regular diet. We are so excited to nominate Todd as a stroke survivor because he takes on every day with a smile and a "go-get-em" attitude.
Keep up the hard work, Todd, we are so proud of you!

Elizabeth arrived at Louisville East Post Acute after a recent hospitalization for a UTI and recent CVA. She resides with her husband but has not been able to ambulate in a year. Her family’s goal was to return home with them as independent as possible due to it getting more difficult to care for her.

She participated in skilled physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy 5 days a week. At first, she was dependent with ambulation. She presented with max assist to dependent with completion of most ADL tasks. She also had severe verbal expression deficits and severe auditory comprehension deficits.

Elizabeth was diligent about going to each therapy session and she would even do her exercises on her own time. Her husband always encouragng her to participate in therapy and is happy to watch her improving each day.

One day, with a walker she took a few steps. At first it was just to help her with transfers, eventually it turned it to walking! Her husband was so happy because as he told us she has not walked in a very long time. Currently she is able to ambulate 75 feet with a front wheeled walker and contact guard assist. Amazing!

She made huge strides in other ADLs, from max assist to contact guard assist for toileting skills and transfers to lower body dressing.

And to top it off she made big steps in communication skills with ST. Elizabeth is now able to verbally count to 10 with 80% accuracy. She has improved her verbal expression to minimal deficits and is continuing to make small gains with auditory comprehension skills.

LEPA is so excited to have the opportunity to work with Elizabeth. We are anxious to see how far her hard work is going to take her!
