| Rehabilitation is the tertiary phase in the treatment of all human sufferings. The Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation caters to rehabilitation services for patients. The physiatrists determine treatment plans for the rehabilitation of patients after acute problems are settled. Physiotherapists and occupational therapists carryout the work of rehabilitation as directed by the physiatrist. The major work of this department is in association with the Departments of Orthopedics, Neuro Medicine, Neuro Surgery, Paediatrics including Neonatology, and other medical and surgical departments. The proposal to expand Neuro Rehabilitation and establish an artificial limb centre to more extensively serve the needs of patients is under active consideration. Twenty-one physiotherapists and occupational therapists are available in the department. |
