The Rehabilitation Process:
The rehabilitation process begins with a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s functional abilities and goals for recovery. Based on the results of this evaluation, an individualized therapy plan is developed. All therapy plans are customized based on the individual’s existing abilities, tolerance for therapy and desired outcomes and are coordinated by a group of healthcare professionals trained and experienced in rehabilitation medicine. The team meets regularly to discuss each patient’s progress with goals and to make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
Patient/Family Education is an important part of every patient’s treatment plan and may include:
- Methods to conserve energy
- Pain management
- Joint protection
- Fall prevention
- Therapeutic exercises
- Management of medical complications
- Use of adaptive equipment
- Adjustment to changing life roles
