The rehabilitation centre offers acute functional rehabilitation to patients disabled by spinal cord injuries, traumatic head injuries, strokes and other disabling conditions such as total or partial limb amputation and post-surgical joint replacement rehabilitation. Patients are assessed through a rehabilitation outcomes management system based on the international classification of functional disability and health (ICF).
