What does rehabilitation generally consist of?

Since this year, Cardo Healthcare has been a member of the Trauma Network South-East Brabant. This is a collaboration between the Maxima Medical Center and specialized physiotherapy practices. For this, some of our therapists have followed the full course to be able to provide the full treatment after bone fractures that are the result of trauma. Think of falling in/outside the home, traffic accidents, etc. The network was specifically created to make the collaboration even better and to shorten the lines between hospital and physiotherapy practices.

What does rehabilitation generally consist of?

Depending on the number of injuries and their severity, multiple therapists and therapies are needed. Rehabilitation can include:

• Explaining what is going on, what the process will look like, informing/advising
• Guidance in starting to move and walk again (physiotherapy and occupational therapy)
• Improving physical condition (physiotherapy)
• Practicing and becoming independent again in daily activities (occupational therapy)
• Help in learning to deal with limitations and how you can resume your daily activities as much as possib
