Rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury in Central Hospital
About the clinic
Rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury at Central Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, focuses on restoring motor functions through advanced robotic therapies. The medical team combines the skills of neurosurgeons, orthopedists, and physical therapists to create a recovery plan for each patient. This collaborative approach helps patients regain independence after severe head injuries.
Advanced Robotic Rehabilitation
Central Hospital features a specialized unit for Physical Therapy and Robotic Rehabilitation. This unit uses robot-assisted therapy to help patients recover movement in their limbs more effectively than traditional methods alone. The technology allows for precise, intensive, and repetitive exercises that are necessary for the brain to relearn motor tasks. Dr. Merve Cemil, a Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Specialist, oversees these treatments. Dr. Merve Cemil is known for her work in robot-assisted rehabilitation and interventional practices that help improve recovery outcomes.
Multidisciplinary Recovery Approach
The hospital manages brain injury recovery through a team of experts from different departments. Because Central Hospital specializes in both neurosurgery and orthopedics, patients receive medical support for all complications related to their injury. This team-based care includes:
- Robot-assisted therapy to help with gait and arm movements.
- Interventional rehabilitation including specialized injections for pain management.
- Spasticity management to reduce muscle stiffness and improve range of motion.
- Surgical support from neurosurgeons if physical changes in the brain require medical intervention.
Recovery and Pain Management
The rehabilitation process also addresses the chronic pain and muscle issues that often follow a traumatic brain injury. Interventional practices used by the specialists help manage spasticity, which is a common condition where muscles stay contracted. By combining these medical injections with robotic exercises, the clinic helps patients move more freely. The facility is equipped with tools designed for high-intensity motor recovery, making it a key destination for neurorehabilitation in Istanbul.
