Strengths of the rehabilitation pathway.

Strengths of the Rehabilitation Pathway
1. Initial Objective Assessment
The rehabilitation process begins with an initial objective evaluation, using specific scales to define the patient’s global profile and define a personalized rehabilitation project.
2. In-Depth Gait Analysis
After the initial assessment, an in-depth gait analysis is conducted by using the BTS Gaitlab (e.g., optoelectronic system with markers and electromyographic probes) to objectively analyze the patient’s locomotor capabilities (kinetic, kinematic, and electromyographic parameters).
3. Individualized Rehabilitation Plan
Based on the assessments, an individualized rehabilitation plan is formulated, aligning with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) model.
4. Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation integrates conventional treatments with innovative ones aimed at improving motor, emotional, cognitive, speech therapy, occupational, and social outcomes.
5. Integration of Robotics
Throughout the hospitalization, the integration of robotics is a pivotal strength, providing innovative interventions tailored to enhance neurorehabilitation and providing repetitive, intensive, and task-oriented training.
6. Virtual Reality Rehabilitation
Virtual reality is seamlessly incorporated into the rehabilitation program, offering advanced cognitive rehabilitation and immersive experiences for patients.
7. Pre-Domiciliation Trials with Home Automation
Starting a month before discharge, weekly pre-domiciliation trials, including home automation, are introduced to familiarize patients with daily activities.
8. Continuation through Day Hospital and Outpatient Programs
The holistic approach extends beyond hospital admission, maintaining rehabilitation through day hospital services and outpatient programs, ensuring continuous and sustained progression toward the patient’s functional recovery.
9. Telerehabilitation
Telerehabilitation is implemented as a vital component, facilitating remote interventions to support patients residing far from main hospitals and ensuring continuity of care based on their needs.
