The Rehabilitation Team
  • Rehabilitation is a continuous process where a
    team of doctors, nurses, therapists and various
    other medical professionals is formed to help the
    patient recover from his present state of illness
    to a normal state of health.

  • The rehabilitation team is formed based on the
    illness of the patient. For example the doctors,
    nurses and therapists in a drug rehabilitation
    team will be different from those in an accident
    rehabilitation team. Each member of the team
    with his/her individual expertise has a different
    approach in healing the patient.

    therapist will be a part of the rehabilitation
    team. Some of these needs are the clients
    illness, duration of illness, severity of the

Physiatrist
  • The Physiatrist is the leader of the
    rehabilitation team. He assesses the patient
    carefully and monitors the patients progress. He
    decides what all medical services the patient
    needs and then designs the program as per the
    patients need. He will design a patient oriented
    treatment program based on which the other
    members of the team will be decided. His
    specialization is physical medicine and
    rehabilitation.

Neuropsychologist
  • Often after a serious illness or brain damage, a
    patient may not able to behave or think as he use
    to before the accident. Severe brain damage may
    be the cause for this. So a Neuropsychologist
    monitors these changes and then designs such
    programs that will help the patient recover
    quickly. A Neuropsychologist will also educate
    the family members of the patient to accept this
    change in the patient and ways to deal with it.

Physical Therapist
  • After a traumatic brain injury a person may
    suffer from musculoskeletal or neuromuscular
    issues. This injury affects his daily activities.
    The work of a physical rehabilitation therapist
    is to work on improving this problem of the
    patient. He will focus on the development of
    posture, strength, physical independence, quality
    movement, balance coordination and other sensory
    motor activities.

Nurses
  • Nurses who deal with rehabilitation patients are
    trained to take care of the everyday need of the
    patients. Often after severe brain or physical
    injury a person may find it difficult to take
    care of oneself, so these nurses are trained to
    take care of patients.

Speech/Language Pathologist
  • A person suffering from any sort of brain injury
    may face difficulty in talking clearly.
    Therefore, it becomes difficult for the family
    members to understand what the patient is trying
    to say. Sometimes, the patient may also feel
    frustrated when he is not able to communicate
    properly. In such cases, a speech therapist helps
    the patient by checking his condition and then
    designing a specific program of exercises and
    therapies that would help him communicate with
    the society.

    occupational therapist.

Recreational Therapist
  • The job of a recreational therapist is to make a

  • After any kind of a traumatic incident, be it
    accident or illness a patient goes through
    depression and other negative feelings. It is
