Rehabilitation therapy targets functional impairments caused by injury, illness, or developmental defects through comprehensive interventions such as exercise therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. It is characterized by educational, proactive, and integrated approaches. It prioritizes functional training and holistic rehabilitation, aiming to restore patients' independence and social reintegration.
Treatment methods encompass six major systems: exercise therapy (including muscle strengthening and range of motion training), physical therapy (electrotherapy, light therapy, and ultrasound therapy), occupational therapy (for restoring functional abilities), traditional rehabilitation methods (acupuncture and massage), psychotherapy, and rehabilitation engineering. It is widely used in neurological and skeletal injuries to prevent limb contractures, improve circulation, and restore functional abilities.
Orthopedic rehabilitation
Rehabilitation targets: Orthopedic rehabilitation covers a wide range of conditions, mainly patients with limb motor dysfunction caused by injuries to the bones, muscles, tendons, joints, ligaments, and articular cartilage, such as perioperative rehabilitation of artificial joint replacement, postoperative rehabilitation of limb trauma fractures, perioperative rehabilitation of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, perioperative rehabilitation of rotator cuff injury repair, ankle fractures, ankle osteoarthritis, Achilles tendon rupture, hallux valgus, flat feet, and postoperative rehabilitation of Achilles tendon rupture suture.
Rehabilitation methods:
(1) Elimination of edema and inflammation: cold therapy machine, semiconductor laser, short wave therapy device, ultrashort wave therapy device.
(2) Chronic pain: extracorporeal shock wave, laser magnetic therapy device, fumigation, wax therapy, interfering electricity, infrared polarized light, and magnetic resonance heating.
(3) Prevention of thrombosis and muscle atrophy: air wave pressure therapy device, medium frequency interfering electrotherapy device, deep muscle massager, and DMS.
(4) Accelerate wound healing and callus formation: ultrasonic therapy device, ultrashort wave therapy device, red and blue light therapy device, warm magnetic therapy device, low-frequency pulse magnetic therapy device.

(6) Enhance muscle strength and prevent muscle atrophy: upper and lower limb active and passive, functional rehabilitation movement training system, electromyography biofeedback device, isokinetic muscle strength, suspension rehabilitation system.
(7) Improve balance function and correct abnormal gait: virtual scene interaction, dynamic balance, core muscle function training machine, balance function training machine.
(8) Improve ADL ability and quality of life: hand function comprehensive training platform, ADL intelligent feedback rehabilitation system, upper limb robot.
Neurorehabilitation
Neurorehabilitation is the product of specialized rehabilitation diagnosis and treatment methods. It mainly focuses on rehabilitation assessment and rehabilitation treatment of functional disorders such as movement, sensation, speech, swallowing, and cognitive disorders caused by neurological diseases, with an emphasis on rehabilitation of stroke.
① Correctly understand the indications for rehabilitation treatment;
② Initiate rehabilitation early, generally 24-48 hours after the condition stabilizes;
③ Clinical rehabilitation;
④ Emphasize secondary prevention plus rehabilitation;
⑤ Active rehabilitation;
⑥ Utilize different rehabilitation methods and procedures at different stages;
⑦ Intensive rehabilitation procedures;
⑧ Comprehensive rehabilitation;
⑨ Comprehensive rehabilitation;
⑩ New approaches to hemiplegia rehabilitation practice.
Rehabilitation targets: Hemiplegia due to stroke, aphasia, dysphagia, spasticity, shoulder-hand syndrome, cognitive impairment; post-traumatic brain syndrome; paraplegia and complications such as urinary dysfunction, bowel dysfunction, pressure ulcers, spasticity, heterotopic ossification, and osteoporosis caused by trauma or spinal cord lesions; peripheral nerve injury; geriatric diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and cerebellar atrophy; cerebral palsy in children; and functional impairment after fracture surgery.
Rehabilitation Methods:
- Physical Therapy Programs: Direct Current, Low-Frequency Pulsed Electrotherapy, Medium-Frequency Pulsed Electrotherapy, Electronic Biofeedback Therapy, Air Pressure Therapy, Cerebral Circulatory Therapy Device, Functional Electrical Stimulation, EEG Biofeedback Therapy, etc.
- Rehabilitation Therapy Programs: Exercise Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Dysarthria Training, Swallowing Therapy, and Cognitive and Perceptual Dysfunction Training.
- Traditional Chinese Medicine Rehabilitation Programs: Acupuncture, Electroacupuncture, Acupuncture and Exercise Therapy, Chinese Herbal Fumigation, and Wax Therapy.
Postpartum Rehabilitation
Postpartum rehabilitation refers to proactive, systematic rehabilitation guidance and training, guided by advanced health concepts and utilizing modern scientific and technological means and methods, specifically targeting the psychological and physiological changes experienced by women during this special postpartum period. This includes counseling, guidance, and adjustments regarding the postpartum woman's psychology, as well as the postpartum uterus, vagina, pelvic floor, breasts, body shape, endocrine system, and nutrition. The goal is to achieve rapid and comprehensive recovery of both physical and mental well-being within one year after delivery.
Rehabilitation targets: Women who wish to improve their image and quality of life; Urinary incontinence (urinary leakage); Vaginal abnormalities (vaginal enlargement, laxity, vaginismus, vaginal wall prolapse); Mild to moderate uterine prolapse; Sexual dissatisfaction (dyspareunia, amenorrhea, decreased libido); Postoperative scar pain and pain after pelvic surgery; Recurrent vaginitis and non-acute urinary tract infections; Low back pain and other pain conditions; Rectus abdominis diastasis and symphysis pubis separation; Depression and anxiety.
Pain Rehabilitation
The most common pain conditions include osteoarthritis, cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, and low back pain. Osteoarthritis often afflicts middle-aged and elderly individuals and is often caused by strain and degeneration. The Pain Rehabilitation Department is not solely focused on pain relief, but rather focuses on combining various treatment techniques to completely alleviate patients' symptoms.
Rehabilitation Targets:
① Neck, shoulder, waist, and leg pain: cervical spondylosis, cervical shoulder syndrome; shoulder joint disorders such as frozen shoulder and rotator cuff injury; lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spinal stenosis, thoracolumbar compression fractures, sciatica, hip arthritis, knee osteoarthritis, meniscus injury, ligament tear, heel pain, temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, and gout;
② Neuropathic pain: neurovascular headache, facial neuritis, trigeminal neuralgia, intercostal neuralgia, and postherpetic neuralgia;
③ Soft tissue pain: tenosynovitis, acute sprains, costochondritis, intercostal neuralgia, lumbar myofasciitis, and intractable lumbar muscle strain;
④ Cancer pain;
⑤ Non-painful conditions: ganglion cysts, intractable hiccups, acute facial neuritis (facial paralysis), hemifacial spasm, and autonomic dysfunction.
Rehabilitation Methods:
- Physical Therapy: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy, interferential electrotherapy, medium-frequency pulsed electrotherapy, magnetic resonance heating, red and blue light therapy, helium-neon laser therapy, polarized light therapy, ultrashort wave therapy, microwave therapy, wax therapy, mud therapy, etc.
- Rehabilitation Therapy: Joint mobilization, suspension therapy;
