NeuLife Rehab Recognizes March, 2015 as Brain Injury Awareness Month
NeuLife Rehab in Mount Dora, Florida, a premier provider of post-acute rehabilitation is pleased to recognize March as Brain Injury Awareness Month.
NeuLife Rehab provides innovative post-acute rehabilitation by a multidisciplinary team of professionals. Our Clients are individuals who have sustained traumatic brain injuries (TBI) which are sometimes called acquired brain injuries, mild brain injuries and other catastrophic injuries.
Briefly, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an alteration in the normal function of the brain. It can result from a multitude of occurrences, including:
- Falls
- Assaults
- Motor vehicle collisions
- Sports injuries
- Being struck against another surface
All traumatic brain injuries (TBI) occur after birth. In addition to the occurrences listed above, and to further illustrate the wide range of potential causes, the following occurrences may cause a brain injury necessitating post-acute rehabilitation:
- Strokes
- Seizures
- Brain tumors
- Toxic exposure
- Oxygen deprivation[1]
No matter the cause nor the results of the brain injury, they share these characteristics:
- An individual with a brain injury is first and foremost a person
- No two brain injuries are the same
- The effects of a brain injury are complex and vary between individuals
- The effects of a brain injury differ based upon factors including, cause, location and severity
Due to the breadth of causes and the wide range of individuals who are potentially susceptible to a brain injury, virtually no one is immune. For that reason, NeuLife Rehab in Mount Dora, Florida salutes those individuals who have sustained a brain injury of any type. It vows its commitment to delivering the finest and most innovative post-acute rehabilitation to its Clients in an ongoing effort to enable them to achieve independence to the fullest extent of their physical and mental abilities.
Proper and timely post-acute rehabilitation that may determine the difference between disability and independence is what NeuLife refers to as the “platinum post-acute period” — the crucial window following acute care that is needed to nurture the whole person to health with specialized, clinically relevant services.
NeuLife’s philosophy is that healing, wellness and personal fulfillment are best achieved in a positive and uplifting therapeutic environment where caring staff encourages, assists and supports each client so he or she may achieve specific goals. NeuLife believes personal fulfillment is equally as important as goals to achieve function and independence.
