Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation
SCI Rehabilitation
SCI rehabilitation using robotics and neurorehabilitation technologies along with physiotherapy, occupational therapy, functional training for maximizing independence and quality of life.
What Is Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation?
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Rehabilitation is a rehabilitation process that aims to restore independence among SCI patients through the use of more intensive rehabilitation techniques and technology. The process includes robotic therapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, balance and mobility training, strength training, and psychological counseling for bladder and bowel control.
How It Works
All rehabilitation programs begin with a thorough neurological and functional assessment of each patient. Depending on the location of the injury and personal rehabilitation objectives, an individualized therapy includes robotic gait training, robotic neurorehabilitation, functional strength training, balance training, wheelchair mobility, transfer training, ADL skills training, and community reintegration to promote neuroplasticity and prevent complications.
