The neuro rehabilitation team consists of physiatrists (rehabilitation physician), neurologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and swallow therapists, psychologists, rehab social worker and rehab nurse working collaboratively with patient and caregiver for the maximum functional recovery of the patient.

What is neuro rehabilitation?

Neuro rehabilitation is a comprehensive, personalized program that helps patients with brain, spinal cord, and nerve disorders regain physical, emotional, and social independence. The primary goal is to help individuals achieve the highest level of independence possible by increasing function, reducing impairments, and facilitating social reintegration. A specialized multidisciplinary neurorehabilitation team with structured organization and processes provides a multimodal, intense treatment program for patients which is adapted to the individual goals of rehabilitation.
