Hamilton’s rehab wall is changing stroke recovery

Stroke survivors in Hamilton are getting a fresh shot at independence thanks to a new rehab wall designed by University of Cincinnati student Sophie Shockey. Instead of the usual repetitive exercises, this wall turns everyday tasks—like cooking, laundry, and even games—into hands-on therapy. It’s not just about moving muscles; it’s about rebuilding confidence and real-life skills. The project came to life at the 1819 Innovation Hub, where Shockey used everything from 3D printers to laser cutters. Seeing stroke survivors light up as they use the wall is proof that innovation can make recovery more engaging and meaningful. What do you think—could this approach change rehab everywhere? #Education #StrokeRecovery #HamiltonOH
