Specialized rehabilitation for spinal cord injuries, focusing on standing, balance, and movement independence.
Spinal cord injuries are among the cases most in need of a long, structured program. Rehabilitation depends on assessing the level of injury and the remaining motor and sensory function.
The program usually begins with range-of-motion exercises and prevention of stiffness, then progresses to supported standing on the tilt table, balance training, then walking between the parallel bars with the therapist's assistance.
We also train the family on home exercises, because continuing the program outside the center is an essential part of the outcome.
