Interdisciplinary team
Successful application of an interdisciplinary team approach to impairments with rehabilitation depends on a clear goal. The interdisciplinary goals for the patient with impairments during the early phase may involve improving mobility and limiting impairment. This period may also assist the patient, caregiver, and other treatment team strategies to support the patient.
Once the patient becomes stable, they may transition to a functional recovery stage, with strategies to improve their integrity and health of prime importance. For example, a stroke survivor will need to re-learn walking patterns and postural control as part of their interdisciplinary management during this phase.
This team's success depends upon the team members involved and their roles in their patient care.
Some members of the clinical rehabilitation process may include:
- general practitioner
- neurologist
- rehabilitation nurse
- functional clinical neurological therapist
- neuro optometrist
- speech therapist
- behavioural therapist community
- re-integrator specialist
Brainstorm have skills and the knowledge to enhance the co-management of clinical neurological conditions.
