activities of daily living – such as learning how to get dressed and how to prepare meals
transfers and mobility – learning to use a wheelchair and to move yourself from your wheelchair to your bed, car, and other situations
emotional adjustment – support group and individual counseling
self cares – learning to manage your bowel and bladder, care for your skin and to understand your medications
community outings – patient and family practice rehabilitation skills in the community with the help of their therapists
therapeutic swimming pool – allows you to move in a warm, non-weight bearing environment with a therapist
family involvement and education – you and your family are the most important part of the rehab team and will be included in setting and achieving your rehabilitation goals, family conferences, and discharge plans.
