MUSCULAR DYSTROPHIES

Rehabilitation for muscular dystrophy focuses on maximizing independence, mobility, and quality of life for individuals living with this progressive muscle disorder. Here’s how we approach rehabilitation at HEJJE:

Comprehensive Assessment

We conduct a thorough evaluation to understand the specific needs and abilities of each individual affected by muscular dystrophy.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on the assessment findings, we develop a customized rehabilitation program tailored to address the unique challenges and goals of the individual.

Physical Therapy

Our team of skilled physical therapists designs exercise programs to improve muscle strength, flexibility, and mobility, as well as to prevent muscle contractures and joint stiffness.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapists work with individuals to enhance their ability to perform activities of daily living, such as self-care tasks, household chores, and work-related activities, through adaptive strategies and assistive devices.

Assistive Devices and Mobility Aids

We provide access to a range of assistive devices and mobility aids, including braces, orthotics, wheelchairs, and mobility scooters, to support independence and mobility.

Respiratory Support

For individuals with respiratory muscle weakness, we offer respiratory therapy and training to improve lung function, as well as assistive devices such as non-invasive ventilation (NIV) to support breathing.

Nutritional Support

Our team includes dietitians who provide guidance on maintaining a balanced diet to support overall health and muscle function, as well as strategies to manage swallowing difficulties.

Psychological Support

We recognize the emotional impact of living with muscular dystrophy and offer counseling and support services to individuals and their families to cope with the challenges and changes associated with the condition.

Community Resources

We connect individuals and families with community resources and support groups to foster social connections, peer support, and access to information and resources related to muscular dystrophy.

Ongoing Monitoring and Support

We provide ongoing monitoring and support to track progress, adjust treatment plans as needed, and ensure that individuals receive the care and support they need to live their best lives despite the challenges of muscular dystrophy.

At HEJJE, our holistic approach to rehabilitation aims to empower individuals affected by muscular dystrophy to achieve their fullest potential and enhance their overall quality of life.
