What Is Rehabilitation Medicine?

This is comprehensive therapy to help disabled children aged 0 to 13 and those at high risk of disabilities minimize their disabilities and be integrated well into society through the process of physiological development.

The most frequent type of pediatric disability treated by the department of rehabilitation medicine is cerebral palsy, followed by myelodysplasia, muscular dystrophy, traumatic brain injury, various types of developmental disabilities, and other neurological and orthopedic problems. Since children with cerebral palsy for rehabilitation range from infants to grown children, it is necessary to be aware of the process of normal development and growth, along with comprehensive rehabilitation programs to control their parents and surroundings.

What Is Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation?

The spinal cord is the central nerves along with the brain and is an important connection channel to deliver command from the cerebrum to the body. Spinal cord injuries caused by traffic accidents, falling, or various types of diseases lead to paralysis of kinetic and sensory functions below the injured region and cause many problems in the autonomous nervous system.
