Rehabilitation Services

Rehabilitation Services, consisting of Physical Therapy, Speech/Language Pathology and Occupational Therapy, assists in assessment, recovery and rehabilitation of patients with neuromuscular, orthopedic, wounds and other disabilities. Rehabilitation Services has vestibular testing equipment for patients with balance disorders. These therapies are medically prescribed for both inpatients and outpatients of VVMC.

The primary goals of Rehabilitation Services are to prevent disability, to restore patient's functional capabilities to an optimum level, and to assist them in maintaining that level.

• Physical Therapy uses physical means such as:
  - therapeutic exercise
  - gait training
  - wound care therapy
  - modalities ie: ultrasound, electrical stimulation,
     heat/cold
  - assistive devices
  - myofascial release

• Speech/language pathology services are provided to adults and children to diagnose and treat speech, language and swallowing disorders resulting from a congenital disorder, trauma, stroke or degenerative disease. Therapies include speech/language, voice, dysphagia, augmentative communication, and swallow studies.

• Occupational Therapy focuses on improving or restoring functions which have been impaired by illness or injury. The goal is to maximize each individual's ability to perform those tasks required for independent functioning.
