The individualized treatment plan is the key to every client’s experience at Rhode Island Rehabilitation Center. When we first meet a client, we sit down with them, discuss their diagnosis and evaluate their condition. We develop a comprehensive problem list from which we establish goals and, working with the physicians, we develop a treatment plan to target the problems. It is a scientific approach to solving each individual’s needs.
RI Rehab’s physical therapists and occupational therapists will start by taking a thorough patient history. They will then perform a comprehensive assessment of the problem including pain, swelling, range of motion, joint mobility, strength, sensation, proprioception, reflexes, balance, mobility and coordination. During the assessment, the therapist will perform various orthopedic and/or neurologic tests to help create a rehabilitation diagnosis of the client’s condition.
