Rehab Goal: To maximize a person’s functional mobility, minimize a person’s deficits, enhance his/her quality of lift and regain his/her independence after a head injury has occurred.
According to the Brain Trauma Foundation, an estimated 1.5 million people in America are treated in emergency departments for traumatic head injuries each year. Also, at least 5.3 million Americans currently live with disabilities resulting from a traumatic head injury. A head injury occurs when there is a blow or jolt to the head resulting in injury to the brain. The head injury can result in mild, moderate to severe brain damage. Mild head injuries are also known as concussions. Moderate to severe head injuries cause a major loss in a person’s ability to function throughout his/her day to day.

The continuum of rehabilitation begins within the hospital with our Acute Care Therapy Services.
