Our Doctors
Meet all our doctors at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi.
View DoctorsOn entering the Neurorehabilitation program, each patient is fully assessed by the nursing team and a consultant physician. Next, the physician refers the patient for a more detailed assessment by the appropriate specialists in the fields of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and/or speech and language pathology/therapy.
Results are reviewed by the multidisciplinary team to determine if any additional tests are needed and to tailor a treatment plan for the patient. The team then discusses the treatment plan, which is always based on the patient’s specific goals, with the patient and family members. Treatment goals and plans are jointly established with the patient.
After the treatment plan has been designed, specialized caregivers in the following areas begin to provide treatment to achieve their goals:
Progress on achieving treatment goals is carefully monitored and shared with the patient and family. Patients and families are taught self-management techniques and therapeutic exercises and adaptive strategies.
Patients are discharged from the Neurorehabilitation program when all goals have been achieved, a different level of care is required, or when no further improvement is noted in response to all appropriate interventions.
