Leading-edge brain injury rehabilitation

Toronto Rehab’s brain injury rehab service is informed by a robust, world-class research program overseen by renowned rehabilitation engineer Dr. Geoff Fernie. Advances in research are rapidly translated to the clinical setting so that patients can continually benefit from the most cutting-edge therapies, methods and equipment.

Toronto Rehab research by the Cognition Team into the burgeoning area of neuropharmacology, for example, has already led to the successful integration of new medications that enhance recovery in brain injured patients.
Technologies developed through Toronto Rehab research into the perceptual difficulties experienced by brain injury survivors are now being used to determine whether patients are ready to return to driving.

Eminent neurological rehabilitation researchers work closely with the health care team that delivers care to brain injury patients and are accessible for discussion with patients, families and third-party funders. Researchers include:

Dr. Mark Bayley, Medical Director of the Neuro Rehabilitation Program and a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation, who is widely respected for his work treating people with stroke and other brain injuries and for his research in the field of brain recovery.
Dr. Angela Colantonio, Senior Scientist and Saunderson Family Chair in Acquired Brain Injury Research, who has published and presented widely about the long-term consequences of traumatic brain injury
Dr. Robin Green, Research Scientist, who has lectured, practiced clinically, supervised and published in many areas of brain injury and is leading new research suggesting that there is competition between the recovery of cognitive and motor functions after traumatic brain injury

In addition to constantly implementing best practices in brain injury rehabilitation, Toronto Rehab is consistently recruited to lead the development of best practice.
Toronto Rehab routinely provides continuing professional development events for its health care professionals in order to ensure that members of the health care team remain at the forefront of rehabilitation practice. (Learn more about Toronto Rehab’s Professional Education Events)
