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.
