Condition
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), including traumatic brain injury (TBI)
Rehabilitation for Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), including traumatic brain injury (TBI), in adults at HEJJE is aimed at promoting recovery, restoring function, and enhancing quality of life following injury. Here’s how we approach ABI rehabilitation:
Comprehensive Assessment
We conduct a thorough assessment to evaluate the physical, cognitive, communication, emotional, and psychosocial needs of individuals with ABI. This assessment helps us develop a personalized rehabilitation plan tailored to each patient’s specific goals and abilities.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapists focus on improving mobility, strength, balance, and coordination following ABI. Through targeted exercises, gait training, and functional activities, we help patients regain movement, independence, and safety in daily activities.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists work with individuals to regain independence in activities of daily living (ADLs), such as dressing, grooming, cooking, and driving. We provide adaptive techniques, assistive devices, and environmental modifications to support functional independence and participation in meaningful activities.
Speech Therapy
Speech-language pathologists address speech, language, swallowing, and cognitive deficits that may result from ABI. We offer therapy to improve communication skills, speech articulation, language comprehension, swallowing function, and cognitive-communication abilities.
Cognitive Rehabilitation
Our team provides cognitive rehabilitation interventions to address deficits in attention, memory, executive function, and problem-solving skills following ABI. We offer cognitive training, compensatory strategies, and memory aids to support cognitive recovery and everyday functioning.
Psychosocial Support
We recognize the emotional impact of ABI and offer counseling, support groups, and coping strategies to address depression, anxiety, adjustment difficulties, and other psychosocial challenges. Our team provides emotional support, education, and resources to help individuals and their families cope with the challenges of recovery.
Assistive Technology
We explore the use of assistive technology and adaptive equipment to enhance independence and participation in daily life activities. This may include communication devices, cognitive aids, mobility aids, and home modifications to support functional independence and safety.
Community Reintegration
We facilitate community reintegration and participation by providing training in community mobility, social skills, vocational rehabilitation, and leisure activities. We collaborate with community resources and support services to help individuals transition back to community living and engage in meaningful activities.
Caregiver Education and Support
We involve caregivers in the rehabilitation process, providing education, training, and support to help them assist their loved ones with ABI recovery. We offer guidance on caregiving techniques, safety precautions, and strategies for managing caregiver stress and burnout.
Vocational Rehabilitation
For individuals with ABI who wish to return to work or pursue vocational goals, we provide vocational assessment, job coaching, vocational training, and support in navigating the return-to-work process. We collaborate with employers and vocational rehabilitation programs to facilitate successful vocational outcomes.
At HEJJE, we are committed to providing comprehensive, interdisciplinary ABI rehabilitation services that empower individuals to achieve their highest level of functioning and quality of life after injury. Our multidisciplinary team works collaboratively to address the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social aspects of ABI recovery, supporting patients and their families throughout the rehabilitation journey.
