Neurological Rehabilitation

The Operative Unit receives in Ordinary Hospitalization mainly patients transferred directly from hospital facilities - in particular from the Neurology, Neurosurgery, Intensive Care, Medicine UOs - and a selection of home patients, sent by General Practitioners or outpatient Specialist Doctors, who require an intensive rehabilitation program. In line with what is established by the Regional Regulation on the "Reorganization of the Rehabilitation Network" of December 2004 and the Ministerial Guidelines of February 2011, the main pathologies treated are:

  • Central Nervous System lesions of a vascular nature: sequelae of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, multi-infarct encephalopathy;
  • neurodegenerative diseases: Parkinson's disease and parkinsonism, motor neuron diseases;
  • demyelinating diseases;
  • after-effects of trauma: cranial and spinal cord trauma;
  • spinal cord injuries;
  • after-effects of neurosurgical interventions; Peripheral Nervous System pathologies (dysimmune, toxic-metabolic and inflammatory neuropathies);
  • vegetative states of traumatic and non-traumatic origin (severe acquired brain injuries).

The Operating Unit is divided into three floors of hospitalization, and has 110 accredited beds. Patients are welcomed in one/two/three bed hospitalization rooms, each with a private bathroom and TV.
The approach offered to the Patient is of a bio-psycho-social nature, aimed at managing the rehabilitation complexity through the solution of problems inherent not only to the biological sphere of the patient, but also to the socio-environmental, cultural, emotional and relational spheres, implemented by a multi-specialist team made up of professionals who prepare and implement the rehabilitation project and programs together with the Patient and his family entourage.

The rehabilitation team, coordinated by the Department Director, is composed of Specialist Doctors from different disciplines (Physiatry, Neurology, Geriatrics, Infectology, Cardiology, Pulmonology and Internal Medicine), Neuropsychologists, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Nurses and Social Workers.Interdisciplinary management avoids sectoral approaches to the Patient and allows the integration of individual skills in the common perspective of functional recovery and social reintegration.
The presence, furthermore, of multiple internal diagnostic and therapeutic-assistance services guarantees each patient an integrated care, rehabilitation and therapeutic path that can satisfy the specific care needs of the individual.

Individual Rehabilitation Projects are conducted according to a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach, placing particular emphasis on the integration of the various interventions: from the diagnostic framework to the subsequent identification of specific needs, the object of the rehabilitation intervention, up to the definition of individual rehabilitation programs aimed at the recovery of residual abilities and reintegration into social life.
Over the years, increasing attention has been paid to defining, in relation to the main neurological pathologies treated (cerebral stroke, Parkinson's disease, dementia syndromes, multiple sclerosis, motor neuron diseases), internal diagnostic and treatment care pathways in accordance with the most recent sector guidelines, in order to guarantee a homogeneous and high-quality clinical-care pathway.

The individual rehabilitation program, placed within the Individual Rehabilitation Project, defines the specific areas of intervention, the immediate and short-term objectives, the operators involved, the times, the methods of delivery and their verification.
The main areas of intervention of the rehabilitation team are:

  • internal medicine medical stabilization,
  • re-education of basic vital functions (swallowing, bladder, intestine),
  • motor re-education,
  • cognitive/behavioral, communication and language rehabilitation,
  • occupational therapy and preparatory therapy for reintegration into the workplace,
  • psychological counseling,
  • re-education in daily living skills,
  • counseling and social reintegration.
