If you have been badly injured, undergone surgery
or had a stroke, your doctor may prescribe
rehabilitation services to help you recover.
Rehabilitation therapy extends a controlled,
medical environment to help your body heal while
you regain strength, relearn skills you forgot or
find new means to do activities that may now be
challenging.

Here we explain the different types of
rehabilitation services and how each can be
helpful to those levied with various injuries or
conditions.
4
Types of Rehabilitation Services
The three major kinds of rehabilitation services
are occupational, physical and speech. The
primary intention of rehabilitation services is
helping the patient return to a usual and active
lifestyle. Rehabilitation services can be used
to deal with a wide range of injuries or
conditions. Usual conditions treated are
orthopedic and musculoskeletal issues like
sprains/strains/tears or post-operative
rehabilitation, neurological cramps such as
stroke, spinal cord injury or brain injury or
multi-trauma due to accidents.

Inpatient vs. Outpatient Rehabilitation Service
Inpatient rehabilitation means treatment or
therapy you get in a clinic or hospital before
being discharged. Patients who undergo an
amputation, experience a brain injury or stroke,
go through an orthopedic or spinal cord injury or
undergo a transplant may need inpatient rehab
therapy to get back to a point where they can
safely go home.

Outpatient rehabilitation therapy is the
treatment received by a patient when not admitted
to a clinic or hospital. Outpatient
rehabilitation centres offer a lot of services
from physical therapists, speech pathologists,
occupational therapists, and psychologists.
Outpatient rehabilitation centres tend to provide
therapy for a broad range of conditions
comprising cancer, neurological disorders, neck
and back pain, neurological disorders, speech
problems, psychological disorders, and more

Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists do occupational therapy
(OT) treatments to support individuals who demand
specialised help to engage in everyday
activities, or occupations. The objective of
occupational therapy is to help people
participate in the things they need to do to live
an independent and enjoyable lifestyle. Occupatio
nal therapists facilitate by making modifications
to things that crimp someone's capability to
complete tasks like eating, dressing, brushing,
doing school activities and working.
