The purpose of rehabilitation therapy is to help patients get back to their daily lives.

Due to increasing average lifespans, rehabilitation therapy is becoming more and more important.

Rehabilitation therapy is a vast and diverse field.

one of the most widely recognized categories is rehabilitation therapy after a brain injury. 

 

When brain tissue is damaged due to an incident such as having a stroke, the surrounding tissue undergoes growth and restructuring.

This is known as "neural plasticity"

Rehabilitation therapy stimulates this neural plasticity to promote the recovery of brain function. 

 

In the field of rehabilitation medicine, treatments tailored to each patient are administered depending on the location of the brain injury.

These include physical therapy, speech therapy, cognitive therapy, and pain management. 

Recovery after brain injury is most significant within the first six months of onset. 

That's why rehabilitation therapy during this period is crucial.
