Medical Treatment and Rehabilitation
A thorough,
long-term strategy is needed for the treatment and rehabilitation of
catastrophic injuries:
Quick
Medical Intervention:
Treatment and rehabilitation for catastrophic injuries involve a complex
and long-term approach. Thus, timely and sufficient medical treatment is
highly significant to soften the impact of the injury
Personalized
Rehab Programs:
Recovery has personalized programs that are targeted at strength,
coordination, and the ability to move
Multidisciplinary Approach:
Most of the patients who undergo rehabilitation find a team, including
but not limited to psychologists, occupational therapists, and
physiotherapists
Long-term
Care Management:
All possible
follow-on health consequences will need long-term medical attention and
support. This includes follow-up care, medication management, and
treatment for new conditions arising from the initial injury.
Assistive
Technologies:
Assistive technology includes adaptive devices or technology that
individuals with catastrophic injury may use to promote some degree of
independence and improve their overall quality of life
Rehabilitation from such injuries is usually painful and takes lots of
time. Rehabilitation may include:
·
Restoring or
making better use of the injured body parts is the main goal of physical
therapy.
·
Communication therapy helps people regain or improve their communication
skills, most especially for people who have sustained catastrophic brain
injury.
·
Cognitive

impairment.
·
Occupational
therapy helps people to relearn the performance of daily tasks and
activities and aims at rendering independence.
·
