Rehabilitation Medicine is the clinical department that helps patients restore function and return to life, primarily serving postoperative patients, patients with sequelae of neurological diseases, those with sports injuries and individuals with various functional impairments. Rehabilitation medicine emphasizes a "function-first" approach; through scientific assessment and systematic training, it maximally improves patients' motor, speech, swallowing and daily living abilities. Scope of Services and Common Conditions The department's main clinical scope includes: sequelae of stroke (hemiplegia, speech disorders and dysphagia); rehabilitation after fractures and joint replacement; spinal cord injury rehabilitation; physical therapy for neck, shoulder, lower back and leg pain; rehabilitation training for sports injuries; exercise rehabilitation after cardiopulmonary disease; and functional impairment caused by degenerative diseases in the elderly. For conditions including limb weakness, limited mobility, difficulty walking, slurred speech and inability to care for oneself, the department provides systematic rehabilitation assessment and training. Specialized Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques Rehabilitation Medicine routinely performs exercise therapy, occupational therapy, speech and swallowing therapy and physical agent therapy (electrotherapy, heat therapy and phototherapy), equipped with professional rehabilitation training devices. The department uses rehabilitation assessment (muscle strength, range of motion, balance function, activities of daily living, etc.) to guide individualized training plans. It also carries out modern rehabilitation technologies such as neuromuscular electrical stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation to accelerate functional recovery. Who Should Visit and Clinic Guide Patients in the rehabilitation phase of stroke, fracture, joint replacement or spinal cord injury, as well as those whose function is affected by chronic pain or sports injuries, are advised to visit Rehabilitation Medicine as early as possible. Rehabilitation emphasizes "early intervention"; rehabilitation can begin once the condition is stable after surgery or in the acute phase, and earlier intervention yields better recovery. Patients and family members should build confidence in rehabilitation and persist with systematic training. Clinic Notes Rehabilitation is a gradual process requiring patient persistence and family cooperation; do not rush for quick results. Rehabilitation training should be conducted under the guidance of professionals to avoid secondary injury from improper exercise. Stroke patients should attend regular follow-up at the rehabilitation department after discharge and continue functional training as prescribed. Department Features and Advantages. Rehabilitation Medicine is guided by the philosophy of "early intervention and function first," developing individualized training plans through rehabilitation assessment. The department comprehensively applies exercise therapy, occupational therapy, speech and swallowing therapy and physical agent therapy, helping patients after stroke or fracture surgery recover motor, speech and self-care abilities and return to family and society. Daily Prevention and Health Advice. Rehabilitation requires persistence. Postoperative or acute-phase patients are advised to begin rehabilitation training as early as possible, progressing step by step with perseverance. Family members should learn assisted care skills to help patients rebuild confidence in life. Older adults should persist in moderate exercise to prevent falls and sarcopenia. Seek timely rehabilitation care for functional impairment and seize the golden period of rehabilitation. Appointments and Friendly Reminders. Patients can book appointments for the corresponding specialty outpatient clinics through the hospital website, by phone or on this platform. Please bring your ID, previous medical records and recent examination reports when visiting, and truthfully inform the physician of your current medications, allergies and past medical history so that an individualized plan can be developed. For special examinations requiring fasting, bladder filling or bowel preparation, please prepare strictly according to the physician's instructions in advance to ensure accurate results. The department implements a first-visit responsibility system, establishing health management records for you and providing continuous services from outpatient care, examination and treatment to follow-up. If you have any questions, please feel free to consult the hospital's in-house guidance desk or online customer service. We will wholeheartedly provide you with attentive, professional medical services, and we wish you a speedy recovery. |
