People living with Parkinson’s disease may experience a variety of symptoms that
affect everyday life, including tremors, muscle stiffness, slowed movement,
fatigue, balance problems, and difficulty walking.Occupational therapists play an important role in helping individuals maintain independence
and safely perform daily activities for as long as possible. Through techniques
and exercises, occupational therapists can help individuals increase hand
strength, coordination, and dexterity, while improving movement and reducing
fall risks. In addition, occupational therapists can supply strategies and
adaptations to help with everyday activities like dressing, bathing, grooming,
and meal preparations. Energy conservation and pacing techniques also can be
provided to help to manage fatigue.By focusing on practical solutions for everyday activities, occupational therapy
can help individuals with Parkinson’s maintain confidence, independence, and
quality of life.

Recovering from an amputation often requires specialized rehabilitation to regain strength, mobility, and independence. Research shows that individuals who receive rehabilitation at an inpatient rehabilitation facility have better outcomes than those who receive care at nursing homes or skilled nursing facilities. According to a study by Dobson DaVanzo & Associates, patients treated in medical rehabilitation hospitals are more likely to return home sooner, remain home longer, and have improved functional outcomes.

Medical rehabilitation hospitals provide patients with intensive therapy at a minimum of 15 hours a week, with services including:
• Prosthetic training to learn how to properly use and care for a prosthetic limb
• Pain management strategies to reduce phantom limb pain and discomfort
• Strength and mobility exercises to improve balance, stability, and movement
• Functional training to safely perform everyday activities
With the right support and therapy, many individuals with limb loss can successfully regain independence and return to activities that they enjoy.

Brain injuries can cause temporary or permanent changes in the way a person thinks, moves, feels, and interacts. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of disability in the United States and can affect cognitive, physical, emotional, and behavioral functioning.

These changes can impact both short- and long-term independence. Specialized rehabilitative care at a medical rehabilitation hospital like ours is designed to help patients regain function, maximize independence, and adapt to any abilities that may have been altered. Research supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke shows that rehabilitation can play a critical role in recovery by promoting neuroplasticity and helping individuals rebuild skills over time.
Inpatient rehabilitation programs address a wide range of needs, including:
• Decreased levels of alertness
• Eating and swallowing difficulties
• Sudden occurrences of agitation
• Prevention of medical complications
• Memory and attention problems
• Problem-solving and reasoning challenges
• Reduced awareness of personal limitations
• Social and behavioral concerns
• Mobility limitations
• Fine motor coordination deficits
• Concerns related to returning to work and job skills
Through coordinated, interdisciplinary care, patients receive specialized treatments tailored to their specific goals and challenges.

During your annual physical, it’s likely that you’ve had your cholesterol checked. But do you know what it is and why it matters?

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that your body needs to build healthy cells and produce certain hormones. It comes from two sources: your liver, which makes all the cholesterol you need, and from animal-based foods like meat, dairy, and eggs.

Cholesterol isn’t harmful unless there are excessive amounts in the body. High cholesterol can form plaque on the inner walls of arteries, which can narrow and stiffen the arteries over time. This makes it harder for blood to flow and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Cholesterol is measured through a blood test that shows the levels of different types of cholesterol. Low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, often is referred to as the “bad” cholesterol because high levels of it contribute to plaque buildup. High-density lipoprotein, or HDL, is known as “good” cholesterol because it helps to remove cholesterol from the bloodstream and carry it back to the liver. Here, it’s broken down and removed from the body, which can help prevent buildup in the walls of blood vessels and reduce the risk of plaque formation.

Once you know your cholesterol levels, you can work with your physician to control it if necessary.
