What are Rehabilitation Services?
Rehabilitation services aim to help patients return to the
highest level of function and independence possible, while
improving the overall quality of life - physically, emotionally and
socially. Patients receiving such services include those who
have suffered a stroke, traumatic brain injury or spinal cord
injury as well as orthopedic patients, amputee patients, patients
with neurological disorders and burn patients.
