TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY REHABILITATION
No two traumatic brain injuries (“TBI”) are similar and neither are the challenges faced by the patient and family members. A person with brain injury not only experiences physical and functional limitations but may have cognitive and emotional difficulties. Research has shown that where a person seeks treatment makes all the difference in their recovery.
WHAT IS TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY REHABILITATION?
At ReGen Rehab, our patients benefit from a highly specialized program involving rehabilitation physicians, neuropsychiatrists and psychologists, therapists, and rehabilitation nurses tailored to the physical/functional, and cognitive impairments, and emotional or behavioural impairments unique to each patient.
The overall goal of rehabilitation after a TBI is to improve your ability to function at home and in society.
Therapists will help you adapt to disabilities or changes in the living space, called “environmental modification,” to make your everyday activities easier.
Over time, your rehab program will probably change with your needs and abilities.
Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (TDCS) is part of our non-invasive brain stimulation programme at ReGen Rehab, one of the few programmes of its kind in Malaysia run by recognised experts in neurorehabilitation.
Brain stimulation has shown beneficial effects on fine motor movements, balance and coordination. The treatment is best combined with a structured rehabilitation programme. TDCS is painlesss, safe, has minimal side effects, and has been used in thousands of people worldwide. It aims to improve the quality of life and reduce the effects of post-stroke impairments
Goals that you will achieve :
Functional Independence:
Maximizing ability to perform daily activities such as self-care, mobility, and household tasks independently or with minimal assistance
Develop new cognitive and behavioral strategies to compensate for any deficiencies:
Therapists work with individuals to identify cognitive or behavioural challenges and create personalized strategies to overcome them. With consistent practice, it will help enhance their capacity to navigate daily life and engage in meaningful activities
Maximize brain arousal and responsiveness:
Maximizing brain arousal and responsiveness involves stimulating the brain to enhance alertness, attention, and responsiveness to external stimuli, often used in rehabilitation to promote cognitive function after brain injury
