Physical and Occupational Therapy for Spinal Cord Injuries

Physical and Occupational Therapy for Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries often cause people to develop significant losses in mobility, resulting in the need for physical therapy, which often helps a victim regain some of their mobility and strength. Physical and occupational therapy can allow a person to make great strides in gaining independence and feeling more like they did prior to the spinal cord injury. Depending on the severity of a person’s injury, their therapy could vary slightly from others’.

The Therapy Process for Spinal Cord Injuries

Getting a person more confident in their motor abilities is crucial as quickly as possible after sustaining spinal cord injuries. Not only does this prevent a person from permanently losing certain abilities, but it often helps to build confidence that speeds the recovery process. Physical and occupational therapy for spinal cord injuries includes the following steps:

  • Establishing basic coping strategies immediately after a patient’s condition is stable
  • After learning how to handle basic needs, injured individuals will work on range of movement, mobility, and strength to the best of their ability
  • Eventually, bed transfer, shower or bath transfer, getting in and out of vehicles, and other crucial steps towards independence may be worked on
  • Throughout therapy, individuals learn how to use assistance devices, such as wheelchairs

While these parts of the physical therapy process may be similar from patient to patient, the treatment that a person receives will largely depend on their situation and capabilities.
