Physical medicine and rehabilitation services bring together a dedicated team of specialists to help you regain strength and skills, whether you need help as a result of an injury or condition.
Overview
We help restore and enhance function to provide the fullest possible quality of life to adults with disorders, disabilities, injuries, and musculoskeletal conditions. These include stroke, movement disorders, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, sports injuries, and cerebral palsy, as well as other neuromuscular and neurodegenerative disorders. We focus on you as a “whole person,” including your family, work, and social life.
Our approach
Our Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation program has a successful history of more than 50 years, and our doctors have established a premier research and training center. You’ll benefit from their expertise in the latest rehabilitation advances.
State-of-the-art research is crucial to continued advancement of healthcare. Our faculty members excel in cross-departmental collaboration and focus on five research themes:
- Stroke recovery
- Musculoskeletal injuries
- Posture and motor control
- Muscle adaptation
- Outcomes of therapeutic intervention (including research on using botulinum toxins to treat spasticity, dystonia, bladder spasms and arthritis)
Acute Rehabilitation
When an illness or health problem occurs, you’re challenged in new and sometimes difficult ways. At the Acute Rehabilitation Center (a partnership with Fairview Health Services), we’ll help you to be as independent as possible so you can return safely to your home and community.
