The Center for Inpatient Physical Rehabilitation at Takoma is dedicated to helping patients get past the hurdles and back to their lives returning to work, family, active retirement or independent living.
The Center for Inpatient Physical Rehabilitation implements a trans-disciplinary approach, offering physical, occupational and speech therapies, social workers and 24-hour rehabilitation nursing care under the direction of a full-time medical director who is a physician on staff at Takoma Regional Hospital.
Other services available through the physicians and health care professionals at the Center for Inpatient Physical Rehabilitation includes counseling and prosthesis training.
The Center for Inpatient Physical Rehabilitation's goal is to help patients get back to life, family and friends as quickly as possible. Working with each patient and their family, the team of healthcare professionals, working under the direction of the medical director, designs a highly individualized treatment plan that focuses on potential, not on limitations.
Rehabilitation may greatly benefit patients who experience difficulties in the following areas: limitation in self-care, impaired mobility, balance and coordination, limitations in strength and range of motion, cognitive and perceptual deficits, speech and communication problems, and swallowing disorders.
These functional difficulties may be the result of stroke, orthopedic conditions (hip fractures, arthritis, amputations, joint replacements), major multiple trauma, neurological disorders (multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, muscular dystrophy), spinal cord injury or brain injury.
