Rehabilitation for the trauma patient begins shortly after admission.
The patient is evaluated by a rehabilitation team consisting of a
nurse, physical medicine and rehabilitation physician and
representatives from physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, audiology and dietary.
Individualized treatment plans are developed and initiated as soon as medically appropriate.
Referral to local inpatient rehabilitation facilities are arranged
as soon as appropriate. Outpatient rehabilitation is available at UT
Medical Center.
