Rehabilitation Services
Rehabilitation Services consists of 3 sections:
Physiotherapy.
Occupational therapy.
Orthotics/Prosthetics.
Each section has a different scope of service to be provided. They target the restoration of purposeful function in a patient who is physically or mentally ill by stimulation, encouraging the individual's potential and capabilities, preventing disability, and maintaining health. The work of these units is integrated and cross-matched.
This is to provide an effective rehabilitation service that requires the integration and interaction of a group of trained health care specialists to progress an individual from a state of physical, emotional, psychological, and social dependency to a state of independent function that allows him to contribute to society.
Rehabilitation Services Divisions:
Physiotherapy:
Physiotherapy provides services that help restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities of patients suffering from injuries or diseases. They restore, maintain, and promote overall fitness and health.
Occupational Therapy:
Occupational Therapy improves the activities of everyday living to help people with physical or mental disabilities achieve maximum function and independence at home and in the workplace. Occupational therapy uses purposeful activity with individuals who are limited by bodily injury or illness, psychosocial dysfunction, developmental or learning disabilities, or the aging process to maximize independence, prevent disability, and maintain health. Occupational therapy encompasses objective assessment, treatment, and consultation with other team members. Occupational therapy is a specialty that contributes to patient care interventions based on their unique education and training.
