Specialized brain injury rehabilitation

• Toronto Rehab’s Neuro Rehab Program, which comprises the Brain Injury Service, is Canada’s largest rehabilitation program for adults who have suffered a brain injury, stroke or other neurological condition. This magnitude gives Toronto Rehab an unparalleled wealth of experience treating patients with brain injuries and helping them rebuild their lives.
• This experience, combined with its range of patient care programming, position Toronto Rehab uniquely to manage co-morbidities that are common in brain injured patients, such as spinal cord or peripheral nerve injuries.
• Separate streams of care for patients whose injuries and impairments are more cognitive or physical, staffed by separate expert teams of health care professionals, make Toronto Rehab’s rehabilitation services exceptionally specialized.
• Inpatient services are delivered within a secure facility to safeguard individuals who may be at risk of wandering.
• Special assessments, treatment and education are available to individuals with multiple sclerosis.
• An interprofessional team of clinician-scientists who are trained in a wide range of physical, cognitive, behavioural and emotional conditions and issues related to brain injury delivers rehab treatment. This breadth enables far more comprehensive care than the standard combination of occupational therapy and physiotherapy. In addition to their own specialties, all team members are trained in other critical skills, such as managing confused and restless behaviour. Toronto Rehab uses a physiatrist-led interprofessional approach to care from assessment to discharge.
• Toronto Rehab played a leadership role in the development of the national specialty certification in rehabilitation nursing and has several certified rehabilitation nurses on staff.
• The hospital’s range of programming and its many productive professional partnerships facilitate timely, streamlined access to additional specialty physicians, as necessary.
• The Chronic Pain Service provides treatment and education and is available to individuals with fibromyalgia and other types of pain.
