ACTIVITIES

Physical therapy and rehabilitation

We mainly see patients with:

  • Orthopedic complaints (hip and knee prosthesis - multiple traumas - other orthopedic pathologies complicated by multiple morbidities)
  • neurological problems (stroke - exacerbations or new events with ongoing problems
  • rheumatological problems
  • amputations
  • hypokinetic syndromes following acute events

Able to take care of significant and complex disabilities, within reasonable limits, in which the rehabilitation therapy can still positively influence the recovery processes in the motor, functional and neuropsychological fields, in relation to the nature and type of each impairment, and which require a high level of care.

The patient is monitored daily by an Internist Doctor.

The Physical Therapy is intended to last at least 3 hours a day, from Monday to Friday. On Saturdays the PT is carried out with reduced hours and concentrated in the morning hours.

The rehabilitation program is carried out by the rehabilitation team composed of Physiatrist, Physical therapists, Nursing Staff, and Care Workers. The patient and caregivers (family members or reference persons, involved in the overall care of the patient) are full members of the team for sharing the Individual Rehabilitation Program (PRI).

A specific Individual Rehabilitation Program is established, and frequent updates are provided to the patient and family, caregivers and family doctor.

An educational approach is used for the patient and family, providing cognitive and practical tools for the correct management of health problems upon returning home.

The discharge plans are carefully planned and followed, especially if the patient needs help or is critical on discharge.

Where necessary, individual plans are made to maintain the continuity of rehabilitation-care care at home, in outpatient clinics, in intermediate care facilities, in coordination with PCP and territorial services.
