Department of Rehabilitation Medicine

The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine centers on functional restoration, serving individuals with a wide range of functional impairments. By integrating modern rehabilitation techniques with traditional Chinese medicine approaches, the department helps patients improve physical function, alleviate pain, enhance their ability to perform daily activities, and reintegrate into family and society. Its clinical scope encompasses post-stroke sequelae, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury; motor function rehabilitation following fracture surgery or joint replacement; pain management for neck, shoulder, lower back, and leg pain; Parkinson’s disease rehabilitation; post‑tumor surgery rehabilitation; pelvic floor rehabilitation; and rehabilitation for age‑related functional decline, among others. The department is equipped with comprehensive rehabilitation assessment and training facilities and operates as a multidisciplinary team comprising rehabilitation physicians, therapists, and nurses.

Upon admission, a comprehensive rehabilitation assessment is conducted to determine the extent of functional impairment and to develop an individualized treatment plan, encompassing physical therapy, occupational therapy, physical modalities, speech and swallowing therapy, as well as traditional Chinese medicine techniques such as acupuncture and tuina. For patients with hemiplegia, speech disorders, or dysphagia following a stroke, targeted interventions are implemented to improve gait, eating, and communication. Following orthopedic surgery, these services help restore joint mobility and reduce stiffness and pain. The department places great emphasis on early rehabilitation, initiating intervention as soon as the patient’s condition stabilizes to prevent muscle atrophy and joint contractures. In addition, home‑based rehabilitation guidance is provided, teaching family members simple exercises and techniques. This service is suitable for patients recovering from stroke, postoperative care after traumatic fractures, chronic pain, or reduced mobility who require functional restoration.
