Brain Injury Rehabilitation
At Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital, we specialize in helping individuals recover from brain injuries through personalized, multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs. Whether caused by trauma, stroke, or illness, our expert team is dedicated to guiding patients from injury to independence.
Types of Brain Injuries We Treat
- Concussion & Mild Brain Injuries – Addressing lingering cognitive and physical effects.
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) – Resulting from external force, such as falls, accidents, or sports injuries.
- Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) – Including strokes, brain tumors, infections, and oxygen deprivation.
Our approach to rehabilitation is tailored to each patient’s unique needs, incorporating:
- Neurological Physiotherapy – Enhancing mobility and strength.
- Cognitive Rehabilitation – Improving memory, problem-solving, and communication.
- Speech & Language Therapy – Supporting speech and swallowing recovery.
- Occupational Therapy – Assisting with daily activities for greater independence.
- Psychological Support – Addressing emotional and mental well-being.
Interactive Therapy
When areas of the brain are damaged, other regions can take over their roles, forming new pathways within healthy brain cells. Digital therapy is an effective way to encourage this reorganization:
- MindMotionGO: A virtual, game-based exercise system that engages patients in an interactive environment, improving movement, balance, and cognitive abilities.
- Tyrosolution Pablo & Tymo: Devices designed to enhance movement and motor function, supporting physical rehabilitation.
- Intento PRO: Controlled electrical stimulation therapy that helps stimulate muscle activity and improve physical function.
MindMotionGO offers a dynamic and engaging therapeutic environment, motivating users to continue their exercises. This helps improve mobility, posture (standing and sitting), and cognitive function. Additionally, other therapies provide complementary benefits, such as correcting neurological conditions and enhancing mobility mapping.
Interaction can be hands free
A Combined Approach
The latest technology has brought a paradigm shift in rehabilitative techniques. Not least by improving the level of intuitive control patients with brain injuries have.
Motivation is heightened and essential repetitive movements no longer feel repetitive, although skilled human input remains important.
Apart from training and direct support on equipment use, our team can make gradual adjustments as you improve. Customising and calibrating environments to bring further progress.
In the same way that our speech and language therapists might mix off and on screen elements, physical therapists meld the two options together. Exercises in a gym can compliment those in the virtual world.
Rather than provide a list of separate activities, a good rehabilitation programme will ensure they are each part of the same, personally designed programme.
Individual Support
From initially advising on an approach tailored to your needs, to seeing this become reality, the rehab team are there for you.
They are aware of the wide requirements brain injury rehabilitation can create. From improving thinking processes, to coping physically and relearning essential skills.
Therapy can be intensive and tiring, as you encourage your brain to find new ways of working. Staff develop a rapport with you, helping them to be aware of times a little extra support is required.
Alongside being skilled professionals, they are people and share your wish to see change. Your choices and ambitions become their motivation, to find ways to make them reality.
Whether a brain injury is recent, or more historic, progress can be made. Through a combination of your determination, modern technology and knowledgeable support.
Controlled exercise helps
