Trauma and Fractures
Maximizing Life after Trauma and Fractures
Disability. We might think it won’t happen to us. But, the reality is that one in two Ontarians will be touched by disability—either personally or in their immediate family.
It could be the result of serious injuries in a car accident. A long illness in hospital. Or a broken hip from a fall on an icy sidewalk. Suddenly, the hundreds of movements, actions and activities that we perform each day are impossible.
At Toronto Rehab, we help people recover from traumatic injury and illness, hip fractures and joint surgery. We help individuals regain their strength, physical abilities and independence. We maximize life. And we’re getting better at it all the time.
Thanks to our innovative model of care for hip fracture, rehabilitation is now provided to patients with dementia—a patient group that was previously underserved.
We’re leading the way in developing better ways to manage pain so that people can maximize their rehabilitation and recover faster and easier.
And we’re helping people to recover their strength and mobility after cancer treatment in one of Ontario’s only specialized
oncology rehabilitation services.
Interprofessional Care Maximizes Recovery
We focus on superior outcomes for each and every patient.
Our
interprofessional health care team works with individuals and their families to an individualized treatment plan that meets their needs and goals. We encourage people to take an active role in their own rehabilitation and support them with the information they need. We also help them prepare to return to living safely on their own or with assistance.
Toronto Rehab specializes in caring for individuals with complex illness and injury. Care is provided through a number of services:
At Toronto Rehab, we also provide a full range of interprofessional care in our outpatient and follow-up clinics to help patients continue the progress they began while in hospital. We coordinate the care to ensure a smooth transition when people are discharged from hospital.
Finding Solutions
We integrate the latest research into all the care we provide. In fact, our researchers work side by side with the health care team. Our patients participate in research and benefit from discoveries—as we make them.
We’re also sharing our innovations with rehabilitation providers across the country and close to home.For example, our new model of care for hip fractures is now being rolled out across Ontario. It shortens hospital stays without impacting patient care. As a result, more people will be able to receive the rehabilitation they need and limited health care resources will go farther.We are quickly becoming a national leader in improving access by delivering rehabilitation more efficiently.
