Rehabilitation involves many components – including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech/language pathology, and massage therapy. Goals and outcomes differ for each patient, so rehabilitation plans are tailored specifically to individual needs.
Along with physicians and therapists, the rehabilitation team may include case managers, nurses, psychologists, social workers, other health care practitioners, as well as family members. In addition to exercise and other treatment methods, the team can assist patients and their families with injury prevention, energy conservation, home evaluations, adaptive devices, and safety recommendations.
