Rehabilitation
Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy and made-to-measure assistive devices, so that people can live, work and learn to their best potential.
Overview
Rehabilitation is a set of interventions designed to optimise functioning and reduce disability in people with health conditions, in interaction with their environment. It helps people to live, work and learn to their best potential.
Rehabilitation in a hospital setting allows early intervention, which can speed recovery, improve outcomes and support a smooth, timely discharge.
CoRSU provides physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy and clinical psychotherapy, and it facilitates education and play therapy for children. The orthopaedic workshop produces assistive devices that include orthoses, prostheses, wheelchairs, crutches and special orthopaedic shoes.
In June 2024 CoRSU launched Phase 1 of its new Rehabilitation Centre, funded entirely by CBM International. 3D printing of assistive devices has also resumed, with funding from CBM and in partnership with Medere of Italy.
Children who are in hospital for rehabilitation still need to learn and to play. Play therapy gives them a friendly environment that promotes recovery. In the classroom, the hut sheds and the outdoor playground, children get to simply enjoy being children.
