More About Rehabilitation

The role of physical therapy will vary across the disease course. In general, however, interventions should focus on helping the patient to achieve and maintain optimal functional independence, safety, and quality of life, with the understanding that needs will vary and likely grow over time. We can provide therapy services in our outpatient facilities and directly in the patient home.

The physical therapy evaluation will include an assessment of: posture, trunk control, balance, transfers; ambulation / mobility; range of motion; motor function; neurological function; respiratory function; wheeled mobility; and patient safety and emotional stability. Optimal follow-up for outpatient therapy will vary according to individual needs. Dedicated one-on-one sessions will be scheduled as needed.
