A- SERVICES FOR INTERNAL PATIENTS:<\/h3>\n

The patients from rehabilitation departments (UGC-US, MFeR), acute department (Orthopaedics, General Surgery, Pediatrics, Resuscitation, Neurology and others), can benefit from SMFR treatments after assessment of physiatrician. All the professionals in the rehabilitation team collaborate to define the patient’s disability profile. The Physiatrician has the task of summarizing and drawing up an individual rehabilitation project by a series of assessments:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7\u00a0Functional assessments<\/strong>: addressed to understand the patient’s state of disability and function correlated to the pathology. They are carried out by the physiatrician during the examination.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7\u00a0Cognitive assesments<\/strong>: they aim to document by some tests and\/or psychological interviews the level of patient’s mental functioning.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7\u00a0Prosthetic assessments<\/strong>: they identify the possible aids needed by patient and help to prescribe the last ones by the Italian National Healthcare System (SSN).<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7\u00a0Psychological assessments<\/strong> : they outline the psychological profile of patient and, possibly, of his\/her family and identify specific areas of intervention or support.<\/p>\n

Therapies<\/h3>\n

It is difficult to outline which services are provided to inpatients. Rather than single service or type of therapy, in rehabilitation it is good to think in terms of rehabilitative project. This concept means all the procedures to carry out for achieving a functional improvement. The most significant activities provided are:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7\u00a0Motor therapy<\/strong>: consists of all procedures that a physiotherapist carries out to recover articulation, movement in order to restore functional autonomy. The complexity of surgeries varies depending on whether the disability is orthopaedic or neurological.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7\u00a0Respiratory physiotherapy<\/strong>: consists of procedures that the physiotherapist carries out in order to improve the respiratory function.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7\u00a0Cognitive behavioural therapy<\/strong>: consists of procedures and pathways aiming to improve the cognitive functions, speech and management of behavioural disorders.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7\u00a0Psychologic and\/or psychotherapy support<\/strong> : is directed by the Psychology team and supports the patient and his\/her family in a delicate phase of existential change.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7\u00a0Occupational therapy<\/strong>: it has the dual purpose to restore autonomy in daily activities and stimulate the patient to discover creative resources through “doing”. The pathway of art therapy<\/strong> is within the occupational therapy.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7\u00a0Physical therapies<\/strong>: consist of physiotherapeutical-instrumental therapies addressed mostly to control various painful situations. A list of these therapies is provided in the section “Services for external users, under outpatient system”.<\/p>\n

The definition of rehabilitation programmes is under assessment of damage and potential of people recovery. One feature that must be kept in mind is that not always and not all patients need intensive treatments. On the basis of a series of data processed over the years, the SMFR aims to\u00a0 implement the F.R.G. (Function Related Groups) system, that is calibrating the rehabilitation intensity on the basis of functional severity and progress of recovery over time.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Communication, involvement and training of relatives<\/h3>\n

When the disability is relevant and recovery times continue the rehabilitation \u00e9quipe has the task of involving the relatives in the pathway in order to:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7 understand difficulties and making that patient can reveal;<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7 find out information and procedures useful to manage the patient once he\/she got home.<\/p>\n

To realize this double aim the SMFR organizes informational and educational meetings for relatives and\/or patients admitted in the Intensive Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation wards.<\/p>\n

Such meetings are hold by the SMFR physicians or other staff with weekly frequency (on average). They are announced by notices placed on the doors of stay rooms.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Spinal cord injury<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7 Spasticity<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7 Sphincteric problems<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7 Disability and return home<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7 Aids<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7 Rights of disabled person<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7 Role of sport<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7 Sexuality in spinal cord injury<\/p>\n

Furthermore the SMFR secretariat has brochures and books available for detailed study.<\/p>\n

Therapeutic exits<\/h3>\n

The therapeutic exits are part of programmes for admitted patients. They aim to allow patients to try out their skills and progresses during the rehabilitation. The exits regularly take place at the presence of therapist and after Director’s authorization. Even the defined “adapted sport” activities are part of the ones carried out during therapeutic exits. It’s about sport acitivities mainly performed at the Don Calabria’s Multipurpose Center of Verona (“Centro Polifunzionale Don Calabria”).<\/p>\n

During the summer the Association “EOS la vela per tutti” organizes sailing trips.<\/p>\n

Social worker<\/h3>\n

It is a cross service among various units of the Department. The intervention of social worker takes place within a project defined by the responsible physicians. The social worker receives the patients and relatives in the following days:<\/p>\n

MONDAY-WEDNESDAY and FRIDAY\u00a0 9.00am-12.00pm \/ 2.00pm-5.00pm\u00a0 (preferably on appointment calling the number +39.0456014622 or the switchboard +39.0456013111) at the Service of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (first floor of Ospedale Don Calabria building) to give indications and consultation on:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7 activation of procedures for the recognition of disability;<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7 social security paths (INAIL, INPS);<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7 legal disability;<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7 activation of home care services;<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00b7 identification of social-welfare and social-healthcare facilities and services;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

B- SERVICES FOR EXTERNAL PATIENTS, UNDER OUTPATIENT SYSTEM:<\/h3>\n

Examinations<\/h3>\n

The SMFR manages the specialized outpatient examinations, carried out at the Outpatient Clinics (“Poliambulatori”) at basement of Casa Nogar\u00e8 building.<\/p>\n

The examinations may be booked at the Booking Center of Poliambulatori. Over time the following outpatient clinics have been structured and diversified:<\/p>\n
