The Rehabilitation Medicine Department provides a complete range of physical and occupational therapies designed to return patients to their maximal level of function. Through careful evaluation and assessment, a treatment plan is developed to help patients reach their rehabilitation goals. The goals of therapy are to maximize a patient's ability to function independently and help patients adapt to limitations that have resulted from surgery, an injury or disease.
Services begin with an evaluation and the development of an individual treatment plan.
Therapists consult and collaborate with the patient and his or her family, doctor, and other healthcare providers. 7 p.m. Hours vary among practices. The hospital s hand therapists, trained and certified specifically to treat the upper extremities, work closely with physicians to help patients regain mobility and strength. Our occupational therapists are specialists in the evaluation and treatment of inpatients and outpatients with orthopedic conditions. They work closely with referring physicians and surgeons to design a treatment program to achieve maximum recovery from surgery or injury.
