The patients of Multiple Sclerosis can truly benefit from an intensive rehabilitation program based on physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and hydrotherapy.
The Physicist’s role in the patients’ rehabilitation is pivotal and it lies on the evaluation of the broad kinetic dexterities of the patient (i.e. walking) and in the evaluation and establishment of a full recovery program with the proper supporting devices. The Physicist will assess and train the patient in proper exercise programs in order to reduce spasticity, to maintain the mobility range of the limbs, to deal with rectovesic disorders as well as to strengthen the muscles and improve coordination and speech disorders.
The rehabilitation program aims at improving walking, balance and flexibility, at increasing aerobic skill and finally the patient’s functional independence.
The 45 day plan includes:
The patients of Multiple Sclerosis can truly benefit from an intensive rehabilitation program based on physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and hydrotherapy.
The Parkinson disease patients can truly benefit by an intensive rehabilitation program based on physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. The rehabilitation program aims at improving walking, balance and flexibility, increasing aerobic skill and eventually the functional independence.
The aim of rehabilitation is the best possible recovery of the functional independence of the patient through teaching walking again, through restraining the spasticity of the hemiplegic limps, through teaching again everyday life activities, improving swallowing and speech and through the proper psychological support.
The best rehabilitation outcome is directly related to the time of intervention. Therefore, the early start of a rehabilitation program increases the expected result.
Georgette Greene has an active lifestyle and works out at least five times a week. But six years ago, the Campbell resident realized she could no longer do a squat. She exercised even harder and lost weight. “That helped for a little while,” she said. “But from there my knees got progressively worse.” Today the 57-year-old Greene lies in a hospital bed for the first time since having her daughter— now seated by her side — 31 years ago. She’s about to undergo total knee replacement surgery.
