The Department of Rehabilitation offers comprehensive rehabilitation (kinetic, psychological, speech) for adults and children. Extensive treatment facilities as well as skilled and experienced staff guarantee rehabilitation for all patients who need it. Depending on the indications, the treatment is administered in hospital, in one of the three units (Neurological Rehabilitation Unit, Post-traumatic Paraplegia Unit, or Systemic Rehabilitation Unit), on an outpatient basis (Rehabilitation Division) or at patient’s home. The Department rehabilitates patients with neurological (severe spinal and spinal cord traumas, spinal pain, balance disorders, Parkinson’s diseases, MPD), orthopaedic (postoperative and post-traumatic conditions) and rheumatologic diseases.
