When it comes to meeting the needs and goals of pediatric rehabilitation, Shriners Hospital for Children in Chicago has transformed downhill skiing into a team sport. In recent years, a group of interdisciplinary team members have joined forces to create a downhill ski trip for adolescents with orthopedic and neurological impairments. The results? Patients receive creative and innovative treatment, while rehabilitation professionals transcend ordinary approaches to therapy, stretch boundaries and help to recreate the health care paradigm.
