Because neurological conditions affect the brain, nerves and spinal cord, they can have a major impact on body functioning, including movement, muscle control, balance and speech. Our inpatient rehabilitation team has vast experience in helping patients with neurological impairments regain independence.
Physical therapists help individuals with muscle strength, balance and flexibility, while occupational therapists work to help patients master essential activities of daily living, such as grooming, bathing and dressing. Occupational therapists can also help patients with instrumental activities such as meal planning and money management, to increase independence. Speech-language pathologists evaluate patients' abilities to express themselves and understand others. When necessary, speech-language pathologists also address swallowing issues.
Medical psychology often plays an essential role when adjusting to a neurological condition, helping patients effectively manage the emotions associated with new physical realities. Physiatrists, nurses and case managers oversee the rehabilitation process, ensuring coordinated care and making recommendations for next steps following inpatient rehabilitation.
Though neurological conditions can be complex, the rehab specialists at Sheltering Arms are skilled and dedicated to helping patients find the Power to Overcome.
