If you or someone you care about suffers a serious health crisis (e.g., a stroke, a bad car accident, etc.), a long, arduous road to full spiritual and physical recovery may lie ahead. Or maybe you’ve suffered an injury that requires help readapting to your old lifestyle. The specialists at Major Health Partners’ Department of Inpatient Rehab are there to help pick up the pieces and rebuild. Physical therapists (PTs) in Major Hospital’s Department of Inpatient Rehab work with such patients to manage and lessen pain, and to help improve or restore lost mobility. If the recovery process requires an extended hospitalization, Major’s PTs can also help safely maintain baseline mobility levels. In cases where there’s been a surgery or serious illness, PTs employ therapeutic exercises, weight-bearing activities, and assistive devices to encourage and help patients return to desired levels of function. Occupational therapists (OTs) approach patient care from a more- holistic perspective, employing adaptation and/or retraining techniques in the rehab process. They help patients restore functionality, prevent additional declines, and achieve optimal mobility as quickly as possible. PTs and OTs alike devise customized therapeutic plans, and both work closely with physicians, nurses, case managers, and with other members of a patient’s healthcare team to design treatment courses and establish discharge plans. The goal, first and foremost, is to return patients to their prior activity levels as quickly as possible. Major Health Partners’ speech language pathologists work to improve and/or restore the ability of patients to communicate effectively or to help make effective communication achievable. Speech Therapists (STs) often work Major Hospital’s front line of care, determining a patient’s specific speech impairments and swallowing abilities, and using this information to formulate a suitable diet. STs also develop appropriate rehab plans designed to enable patients to regain prior levels of function. For more information on Major Hospital’s Department of Inpatient Rehab, call….
