Neurologic Rehabilitation
Recovering from brain injury or a neurological condition can often be complex and extensive, and Merit Health River Region helps address the unique challenges of neurological damage. Whether it's helping patients resume regular activities after an injury, or providing strategies to manage a degenerative disease, rehabilitation professionals are focused on helping patients meet their goals.
A dedicated team of rehabilitation specialists - including physical and occupational therapists, speech therapists and other dedicated professionals - are committed to helping patients regain the highest level of function possible.
Customized therapies are designed to meet the cognitive, physical and emotional needs of each patient, including:
-
Occupational therapy - Occupational therapists help individuals return to independent living, work or school by helping patients re-learn daily activities.
-
Physical therapy - Physical therapists help individuals improve mobility, strength, endurance and balance to resume regular physical and everyday activities.
- Speech and language therapy - Speech-language therapists work with individuals to improve speech, language and swallowing skills by focusing on deficits such as cognition, language, oral communication and swallow functions resulting from neurological conditions.
- Additional therapies – Other health care professionals such as psychiatrists, care managers and social workers are available to work with patients, family members and caregivers to help the patient and his or her support system adjust to the disability.
