Rehabilitation

How do you choose the right rehab center?  What is a physiatrist?  When will your rehabilitation begin?  What’s the difference between an occupational therapist and a physical therapist?  These may be just a few questions that run through your mind after you've acquired a spinal cord injury or developed paralysis.  You'll find your answers in this section along with an in-depth look at exercise and its relationship to improved function.

Rehabilitation has two sections:

Rehabilitation Overview/How to Pick a Rehab an overview of the types of rehab that can assist in the recovery process along with some helpful points to consider when choosing a rehabilitation facility

Exercise and New Function find out how exercise can affect new function; a description of activity based recovery programs and a list of equipment and training resources
