| Upper Extremity Reanimation
Clinic |
This clinic focuses on the surgical reconstruction and post-operative
rehabilitation of the paralyzed or spastic upper extremities (arms).
The surgeon and therapists are committed to improving the functional outcome
of any rehabilitation or surgery to the upper extremity and to the
patient
as a whole.
Our services:
- Brachial plexus (nerves supplying the arms, forearms and hands) injuries,
both acute and chronic
- Complex peripheral nerve problems, both acute and chronic
- Cerebral vascular accident (i.e. stroke)
- Cerebral palsy
- Spinal cord injuries
- Muscle loss due to trauma or cancer
- Neuromuscular problems
- Mutilating hand injuries
- Amputations
Patients are referred to the clinic for assessment and consultation,
and investigations as required. Not all patients
with upper extremity paralysis or dysfunction are candidates for rehabilitation
or surgery.
The decision
to proceed with rehabilitation or surgery is made
only
after all information is gathered and analyzed. Then in consultation
with the
surgeon and therapist
and patient, the best reconstructive approach is
decided upon.
